UK distributor PJH expands its range of Fibo waterproof wall panel systems, featuring Norwegian manufacturing and a 25-year warranty.
UK bathroom and kitchen distributor PJH has broadened its offering of Fibo waterproof wall panel systems. Manufactured in Norway, Fibo panels provide a high-performance alternative to traditional tiling for wet rooms, bathrooms, and utility areas, backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
The expansion adds further design options to PJH's current catalogue, streamlining access for merchants, plumbing specifiers, and bathroom fitters nationwide. The panels utilize a tongue-and-groove locking mechanism designed to create a completely watertight seal without requiring specialist tiling skills or extended drying times.
Wall panels continue to gain market share over ceramic tiles across UK residential and commercial developments. For installers, modern panel systems eliminate the need for backer boards, tanking kits, adhesive mixing, and grouting, significantly reducing on-site labour costs and project turnarounds.
The inclusion of a 25-year guarantee gives tradespeople a clear selling point when quoting homeowners who want durable, low-maintenance finishes that will not suffer from degraded grout lines or water ingress over time.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
PJH's expanded distribution means better off-the-shelf availability and quicker turnaround times through regional merchant networks. While premium Norwegian panels carry a higher upfront material cost per square metre compared to budget PVC sheet alternatives or basic ceramic tiles, installers can offset this through drastically reduced labour hours on site. DIYers tackling a bathroom overhaul should consider Fibo if they want to avoid complex tiling work, but must ensure existing walls are flat and plumb before ordering to get the best results from the tongue-and-groove joint system.
