Showerwall Launches New Arcade Range on Slat Wall Panels

Showerwall has expanded its wall panel range with the launch of the new Arcade Collection, a striking slatted-effect wall panel range designed to bring warmth, texture and modern character into bathrooms. The launch responds directly to the growing demand for slat wall designs, which have become a standout trend across interior design, particularly in bathrooms and living spaces inspired by natural materials.

The Arcade Collection delivers the look of traditional slatted timber walls, but with the practical benefits that shower wall panels are known for. It combines visual depth and rhythm with easy installation, long-term durability and low maintenance, making it an attractive option for both homeowners and professionals.

A Slatted Look with Showerwall Performance

Slatted wall designs have surged in popularity in recent years, often seen in high-end hotel bathrooms, spa interiors and contemporary homes. However, traditional timber slats are rarely suitable for wet environments. Showerwall’s new Arcade range bridges that gap by offering a slatted-effect design built into a fully waterproof panel system.

The collection creates a strong architectural feature through its vertical slatted pattern, enhanced by a clean black shadow line that adds definition and contrast. This detail helps to deliver a realistic and premium slat wall appearance, bringing movement and interest to otherwise flat bathroom walls.

According to Showerwall, careful pattern matching has been built into the design to ensure a seamless finish across panels. The result is a cohesive and authentic slatted look that works well as a feature wall or as part of a wider bathroom scheme.

Three Nature-Inspired Timber Finishes

The Arcade Collection is available in three carefully selected timber decors: Oak, Walnut and Grey Oak. Each finish has been chosen to reflect current interior trends while offering long-term appeal.

Oak provides a light, timeless feel that suits both modern and classic bathrooms. Walnut introduces richer, darker tones that add depth and a sense of luxury, while Grey Oak offers a contemporary twist, blending natural texture with cooler, urban styling.

All three finishes are designed to bring a calm, nature-inspired atmosphere into the bathroom. This aligns with the wider global movement towards biophilic design, where natural materials, textures and colours are used to create more relaxing and restorative interiors.

Exclusive Proclick Panel Format

The Arcade Collection is exclusively available on a 600mm wide Proclick panel, making installation faster and more efficient. The Proclick system allows panels to lock together neatly, helping installers achieve a professional finish with less effort and reduced fitting time.

Each panel features a 7-ply PEFC-certified plywood core, underlining Showerwall’s commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing. The use of certified materials ensures the collection not only looks good but also supports environmentally conscious design choices.

To complement the panels, Showerwall offers matching trims in a range of finishes, including Bright Silver, Satin Silver, Black and Brushed Gold. These options allow designers and homeowners to coordinate the panels with brassware, accessories and other bathroom fittings for a cohesive look.

Designed for Longevity and Compliance

Durability has been a key focus in the development of the Arcade Collection. Showerwall confirms that independent testing shows full compliance with EAD 030437-00-0503, demonstrating watertightness, long-term performance and durability in wet areas when installed as a complete system.

As a result, the Arcade Collection is confirmed as suitable for use as a tanking solution under the 2025 NHBC Standards. This makes it a practical and reassuring choice for new-build homes, renovations and commercial bathroom projects where compliance and performance are critical.

Showerwall has also backed the range with a 30-year guarantee, giving further confidence in its long-term reliability. The Arcade launch follows the introduction of the Hydrocore board into Showerwall’s Laminate Collection, reinforcing the brand’s continued investment in innovation and performance-led products.

Easy Transformation Without Major Renovation

One of the key advantages of the Arcade Collection is how easily it can transform a space. The panels allow homeowners to achieve a high-impact slatted wall effect without the disruption, cost or complexity of traditional building work.

Because the panels install directly over suitable substrates, bathrooms can be refreshed quickly, making the range particularly appealing for refurbishment projects. This ease of transformation also supports cross-generational appeal, ensuring the design remains relevant and stylish for years to come.

Showcasing at KBB Birmingham

Showerwall will be showcasing the new Arcade Collection at the KBB Show at the NEC Birmingham this year. Visitors will be able to see the slatted-effect panels up close, explore the different timber finishes and understand how the Proclick system works in practice.

The appearance at KBB highlights the importance of the Arcade launch within Showerwall’s wider product strategy and positions the collection as a key solution for modern bathroom design.

A Confident Step Forward for Bathroom Design

With the introduction of the Arcade Collection, Showerwall has delivered a solution that blends on-trend design with proven performance. By combining the visual appeal of slatted timber walls with the practicality of waterproof panels, the range answers a clear demand in the market.

For homeowners seeking a warm, modern bathroom aesthetic, and for professionals looking for reliable, compliant wall panel systems, the Arcade Collection represents a confident step forward in bathroom wall design.
