Types of Wet Area Materials

Understanding the performance of different materials is key when selecting the right wet area panels or surfaces.

Decorative Boards & Laminates

Decorative boards from EGGER are suitable for areas with moderate moisture exposure. Laminates can also be used in wet area applications, provided they are applied to a moisture-resistant substrate.

Wet Area Wall Panels & Linings

Products such as Easycraft and DESIGNER GROOVE are commonly used as wet area wall panels. These are available on different substrates, offering varying levels of moisture resistance depending on the application.

DESIGNER GROOVE features a highly moisture-resistant core, making it suitable for both wet and dry areas without additional waterproofing.

Compact Laminate & Solid Surface

Compact laminate (EGGER, WallART) and acrylic solid surface (MEGANITE) are non-porous materials designed for high-moisture environments.

These are ideal for:

• Wet area wall panels
• Shower linings
• Partition systems
• Commercial washrooms

Their durability makes them a strong choice for wet area panelling in both residential and commercial spaces.

How to Choose the Right Wet Area Material

Choosing the right wet area solution depends on:

• Moisture exposure (splash vs full water contact)
• Application (walls, flooring or cabinetry)
• Durability requirements (residential vs commercial use)
• Maintenance needs
• Design preference

For high-exposure zones like showers, non-porous materials such as compact laminate or solid surface are recommended, while decorative boards and laminates are better suited for low-moisture areas.

Weathertex and Shadowclad are designed for exterior wall systems where exposure to moisture and weather is constant.
