How to Renovate Your Bathroom With Water Panels

Installing one or several water panels is one of the simplest ways to rejuvenate an old and tired bathroom. Water panels are made from acrylic and use quiet pumps to move water around inside. Acrylic is available in an infinite variety of colors and textures and this gives the wall different effects in conjunction with the pump. Water can be pumped up and left to trickle down which gives a waterfall or rain effect, or air can be pumped into the water to create bubble effects. Water walls need to be professionally installed so you should find a company that specializes in water-based designs to point you in the right direction.

The Material

It’s best to choose acrylic is a color and texture that matches your personality. Black acrylic water walls are perfect for arty, edgy living rooms but for your bathroom you will likely want to look at a clearer, lighter color to create the ambience of freshness and cleanliness. Water walls are made from acrylic and you are free to specify the exact color you want when you order them from the supplier.

For the Perfectionist

If you’re a perfectionist who wants things to look perfect forever, that’s going to gear you more towards clear acrylic water panels. Unlike textured acrylic or glass, clear acrylic is highly resilient to daily wear and tear and is the easiest to clean of all surfaces. You’ll likely want to use the water wall on or near a wall to highlight your wall. It will be less likely to get wet and dirty if it’s away from the sink, bath and shower.

For the Hedonist

If you love color and texture, that’s going to point you towards the textured acrylic water walls. These will be harder to clean but you’ll love the way they can be used to close off spaces in your bathroom or draw attention to particular features of the room. Water walls are commonly used as dividers so you could have one installed in or near one of the sides of your shower area. Other common uses are to include water walls into cabinets so you can use one under your sink to create a bubble bar. The internal pump will create bubble effects inside the wall.

For Those On A Budget

Water walls are an extravagant way to incorporate water-based design cues into all rooms in your home, especially living rooms. If you are looking to capture the unique beauty of water walls on a budget you’ll be looking at far smaller, economically-priced walls. To accentuate the effect of the water wall you can use a small one as an accent to illuminate your bathroom walls. Strategically positioning a small water wall above your toilet cistern or near a mirror will let you enhance the beauty of your bathroom without blowing your budget.

Customizable Sizes

The key to using water walls in your bathroom is to contact a design firm for their advice. Walls can be custom-built in the exact sizes you require so your quote will be unique. Water walls can be built-in as well, so you could use something like a built-in bubble wall to enhance the side of your shower without having to replace it completely.
