Laminates for the Bathroom

Yes — for vanity units, cabinet fronts, dado and wall panels, WC backings and bathroom doors. Artis decorative laminate is water-resistant, so it handles everyday splashes and steam well. It is not waterproof, so edge-band the cut sides, seal joints and keep panels off the wet floor and out of standing water.

For splash-prone zones choose a matt, suede or stone finish over high gloss — they hide water spots and fingerprints and stay calm under bathroom lighting. Light marbles and whites make small bathrooms feel bigger; charcoal and dark-marble designs work beautifully as a single feature wall or vanity face.

Best on vertical and joinery surfaces: vanity carcasses and shutters, dado/wall panelling, WC and mirror-unit backs, and bathroom-door faces. Avoid the shower-floor and constantly-wet areas — laminate is a surface for cabinetry and walls, not a substitute for tiling in the direct wet zone.
