Decorative panels and engineered surfaces come in a bewilderingly large range of types, sizes, designs and textures – often with an equally baffling range of acronyms (MDF, MFC, MFM, PVC, WPB, WPC and HPL). This seminar cuts through that by explaining what each one is, what it does, and where it should be used. Presented as a fun short story, this seminar answers the question ‘what should I specify’ in a very practical way, approaching the issue from the designer, contractor and client’s point of view. Along the way it also includes plenty of opportunity for the audience to

This seminar looks at the use of wall panels as an alternative to tiles in bathrooms. It will help you to understand the following topics: - The pros and cons of laminate performance surfaces as an alternative for tiles - The design considerations for wall panelling across a variety of typical bathroom layouts - The advantages of installation speed and maintenance for a variety of applications - How to confidently choose performance laminate panelling as an alternative to tiling for wall finishes

By examining everything from choice of substrate, décors and finishes, to installation, maintenance and regulatory compliance, it represents a very practical contribution to the 'tile versus other' debate.
