How Multipanel helps installers save time and boost profits
Time is money, and nowhere is that more true than in the world of bathroom installation. That’s why more and more professional installers are choosing Multipanel, the UK’s leading bathroom wall panel brand, to help them work smarter, complete jobs faster and protect their bottom line.
Unlike traditional tiling, fitting Multipanel is quick, clean and straightforward. Panels can be installed directly onto almost any surface, including over existing tiles, significantly reducing preparation time. This eliminates the need for complex surface preparation, allowing installers to get straight to work. With no need for lengthy drying times or messy grout, the process becomes cleaner and more efficient. Panels click together using Multipanel’s patented Hydrolock® technology, creating a watertight, seamless finish that’s ready for use almost immediately, eliminating the usual waiting periods required for wet trades.
Bathroom transformations can be completed much faster compared to traditional tiling methods too. The efficiency means installers can spend less time on each job, lowering costs for the customer and freeing up valuable time to take on additional projects.
But it’s not just about saving time. Multipanel is designed to be easy to handle onsite. The panels are lightweight yet incredibly durable, making them easy to manage throughout the installation process. They can be cut and adjusted using standard woodworking tools - no specialist equipment is needed. This versatility ensures that even more complex layouts or larger spaces can be fitted efficiently. Plus, the straightforward installation process reduces the learning curve, with minimal training required for installers to achieve top-quality results.
“I have had a very positive experience of fitting Multipanel over the past 10 years or so,” comments Brian Parkinson, an installer who has been using Multipanel for some time. “I find the product is a lot quicker and cleaner to install and they also have a great selection of modern and timeless colours to choose from.
“It is often favourable to my customers as it minimises the down time of the bathroom being out of use. Less preparation is required to install Multipanel and it is a lot more versatile than installing tiles such as bridging gaps on uneven walls or even being installed over existing tile which can save on rip out and rubbish removal costs.
“My customers often tell me how their new Multipanel panels are easy to maintain and clean and many also say they would never go back to tiles again. They also like the fact that there are no more vulnerable grout joints within their bathroom.
“Much of my work comes through recommendations and referrals and it is often because a family member or friend has seen a Multipanel installation which I have carried out. Multipanel is a product that sells itself in my opinion once people have seen it firsthand.”
The benefits of using Multipanel don’t stop at installation. The wide range of stylish finishes available - from classic marble and stone to industrial concrete and vibrant colours - gives installers the flexibility to offer their customers a luxurious, modern bathroom look. These aesthetics are achieved without the extensive installation times and maintenance concerns that come with traditional materials. With no grout to maintain, Multipanel installations stay looking pristine for longer, reducing the need for costly call-backs for maintenance issues.
Multipanel’s commitment to sustainability also appeals to both installers and consumers. Manufactured in the UK using an FSC®-certified core, each panel meets the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions. Installers can confidently promote their use of a product that aligns with sustainable practices. Furthermore, every panel comes with a 30-year warranty, providing both installers and their customers with peace of mind.
