Wall tile panels offer a hard, glazed surface with fully glazed edges providing a neat finish to walls and window sills; they can even be bent around outside corners.

Plastic wall tiles are in trend these days. These stylish tiles are usually made of polystyrene or vinyl plastic, sold under many brand names. Polystyrene plastic (such as Bakelite polystyrene, Catalin Luxtred, Plexon M, Styron) is not damaged by water, oil, alcohol, vinegar, or the usual household acids. Cleaning fluids, gasoline, nail polish and polish remover, and oil from lemon / orange peel will damage them. Vinyl plastic (such as Vinylite, Saran, Geon, Marvinol, Ultron, and Monsanto vinyl butryol) is tough. Ordinary household chemicals will not harm them and they resist damage from acid, alcohol, food, ink, and dirt; but be careful not to spatter them with moth preparations. Too much heat will soften most plastic so be careful in placing near a heater or oven.

The advantage of plastic wall tiles is that besides giving insulation it reduces both condensation and germs growth. Plastic wall tiles were also used to cover over unsightly plastered or damaged walls. The tile panels are fixed into place with adhesive and they can then be grouted with a flexible grout and sealer. The job requires no special equipment. You just need a ruler and scissors or craft knife. So you can actually do it yourself, but it’s better to consult a professional.

It is because of the plastic wall tiles being light weight and flexible they are ideal for boats and caravans where there are chances of more movement on the whole structure and the walls, and they mould over slightly uneven wall surfaces in the home too. Small sink splash backs in cloakrooms, baby changing areas, utility rooms and en suites can all be tiled with the panels. Once on the wall they are durable and rigid just like ceramics.
