Showerscape’s use of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), also known as Dibond, is a superior material for shower panels over Acrylic for a number of reasons.

1. Unlike Acrylic or Glass shower panels, where the printed image is on the reverse and bonded to the wall, the composite material itself is in contact with the adhesive, not the print – this eliminates any issues with show-through and protects the integrity of the image over time, particularly yellowing from adhesive solvents, or if there is any movement or expansion stress in the material pulling on the adhesive.

2. When it comes to installation, ACM material won’t crack or shatter when drilling or cutting, as can happen with Acrylic or glass panels. Regular power tools such as a circular saw, power planer or drill are safe to use, without risk of damage to the composite material.

3. Showercape panels are finished with a mid-gloss easy clean hardcoat finish which is less reflective than very high gloss acrylic or glass shower panels. This means the image is more visible in the bathroom setting with less glare and reflection from windows or lighting.

4. What’s more, Showerscape’s composite material and manufacture is UK made, and is fully recyclable at the end of its long life.

Dibond shower panels are gaining in popularity due to their slim profile, tough properties, high quality surface and print performance, and inherently waterproof construction. Dibond is a brand name of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) - a kind of sandwich construction with a solid polyethylene plastic core and thin aluminium surface to both sides. Showerscape use this material to print high resolution images to create unique, customisable and made-to-measure shower panels for domestic and commercial bathrooms where design creativity and long lasting quality is paramount.
