Following the UK Government’s launch of the ‘Make things Right’ campaign (Monday 6th March 2023), which urges social housing tenants to complain to landlords about substandard living conditions, housing associations are being encouraged to consider modern materials within the bathroom; where cases of mould build up are most prevalent.

Multipanel: Modern alternative to tiles

Bathroom wall panels are completely waterproof, quick to install and completely eradicate the need for grout; a mould and mildew hotspot that requires maintenance every several years. Simple to install with only adhesive, the panels click together and are maintenance free; leaving little to no need for site recalls.

We support initiatives that encourage responsible social housing, however, as the campaign will shine a spotlight on housing issues and encourage the public to voice their concerns, organisations may be put at risk and end up with a raft of remediation works.
Lidia Cetrangolo - Marketing Manager at Grant Westfield, the makers of Multipanel

Whilst bathroom wall panels have been around for years, only up until very recently have we noted larger-scale specification by forward-thinking operators. Choosing wall panels over tiles can save on average 15 hours of installation time, providing a quick, easy and hassle-free wall covering. Plus, they are ready to use in just 24 hours, so can support quicker occupation requirements.

The ‘Make Things Right’ campaign is being implemented across social media and commercial radio in multiple languages, resulting in increased awareness amongst the general public.

Lidia concluded: “Alongside consumers becoming more aware of their rights to complain we want to encourage housing associations to ensure they’re doing all they can to prevent future issues and correct specification from the outset.”

Multipanel comes in a range of designs – including tile finishes – so even if a tiled aesthetic is required, bathroom wall panels can deliver on that too.
