Sheet sizes: Bespoke We’ve split our range into six different categories. All our products have all the Mermaid benefits, but we’ve arranged them according to their style. Hopefully one will be a perfect match for you and your bathroom.

That’s the long and short of it - on average it’ll be 25% cheaper than installing tiles, and generally it’ll be even lower than that still. This is mainly because Mermaid panels do not require a specialist tiler. As an addition to this Mermaid panels last much longer than tiles further saving on the full life cost. Watertight Guarantee We’re fed up of grout, it takes a long time to apply, it’s a nightmare to clean and after a while it just goes mouldy. There’s no grout used with our panels, so that means no more mould. The Mermaid panel system is guaranteed to remain watertight and...

What is a Mermaid Panel? Laminated front Wooden Core Balancing laminate Laminated Front High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is then bonded to the plywood using a PVA (D4 rated) adhesive system to give a completely waterproof surface meeting all the requirements of EN438. Balancing laminate A balancing laminate is bonded to the reverse of the panel also using PVA adhesive system this ensures the panels structural stability and minimises bowing or twisting. Wooden Core The panel substrate is 9mm WBP (Weather and Boil proof) plywood which is water resistant and meets the requirements of EN635....

According to BREEAM, laminated panels significantly outperform all others due to the following reasons: Life Span Mermaid’s panels are engineered and guaranteed for 10 years which is significantly greater than alternative materials, this further reduces the need to replace as frequently hence less need for production with the obvious environmental effect. The majority of Mermaids materials are sourced from the UK and Northern Europe to ensure that shipping distances are minimised, this together with the lower material weight and lower production energy requirements helps reduce the carbon...

How we build We like to think we’ve got a factory of craftsmen, all skilled and all proud of what they send out - with very good reason. All our plywood is sourced from PEFC and FSC certified sustainable forests. Welcome to the Jungle Over the years we have worked out that there is a risk that the pre-bonded laminate may bow if the air is too dry, so using our moisture control system we maintain our factory at precise temperature and humidity levels. Although we’re proud of this innovation it does mean that the air in the factory is more akin to the rainforests of Borneo than the north...

Check Please Despite the fact that we use our brand spanking new machine to apply the joint, when our panels have a tongue and groove applied our guys still check by hand to make sure the joint is perfect. Cutting Through Sticky Situation It’s taken us a while to work out the exact levels of adhesive required to perfectly bond our laminate to the plywood. Too much and it runs from the side, too little and it won’t work at all. The machine above places the laminate on the rollers after it’s dried. We know that it’s perfect because it’s picking the sheets up faultlessly. After our panels are...
