Bushboard has extended its wall panelling system, Nuance, to reflect changing interior trends and meet demand for natural looking bathroom wall solutions.
New for 2022, the updated collection includes 11 new, easy to install options that enhance the brand’s existing ranges – Nuance, Nuance Designer and Nuance Acrylic – as well as Nuance Vanity Worksurfaces, which offers a wide choice of laminate surfaces that can be mixed and matched to coordinate perfectly with any decor.
Inspired by nature, Nuance offers five on-trend categories that combine the appearance of stone, marble, wood, travertine and quartz together with textured finishes that have a realistic look and feel. Latest introductions include the stone inspired Lumiere and Light Portland panels, plus Cirrus Marble and Doux Lime Quartz, which are also replicated as vanity worksurfaces.
Completing the line-up for bathrooms where a statement wall is required, Nuance Acrylic panels are available in a high gloss, reflective finish that is reminiscent of glass but much easier to work with and fit on site. The latest introduction, Aqua Kaleidoscope, has an eye-catching, abstract pattern that is hard to achieve using individual tiles alone.
As well as reflecting the latest interior décor trends, every wall panel is developed with ease of installation and longevity in mind. Manufactured in Britain since 1935, all Nuance panels have high performance surfaces and a synthetic homogenous core that is impervious to water. This makes them well suited for shower areas, wet rooms and finishing walls around baths.
While traditional tiling often requires specialist tooling and can take a significant amount of time to complete, Nuance can be tailored and fitted by any tradesperson in a matter of hours. Flexible panel sizes include postformed panels and standard tongue and groove panels, which can be linked together to create walk-in wet rooms or shower enclosures. The 160mm finishing panel allows a run of tongue and groove panels to be finished vertically, also with a neat postformed edge detail.
Thanks to the pre-finished profile of certain panel sizes, Nuance’s trim-free system means no edging strips are required for finishing either. Furthermore, all panels can be rotated 90 degrees in any orientation to achieve matching or contrasting looks, as well as half height features or bath panels.
By joining, sealing, bonding and finishing panels using Bushboard’s own specialist ‘Complete’ adhesive and sealant, a professional, watertight finish is easy to achieve. Available in 10 colourways which have been matched to the full range, Complete’s advanced formulation has excellent grab adhesion, gap filling properties and is straightforward to maintain and clean. Additionally, when used in conjunction with Nuance, all panels carry a 15-year guarantee.
Paul Findley, Product Sales Manager for Nuance, said: “The latest additions to our Nuance range have been carefully developed by our in-house team to offer a versatile range of wall panelling solutions that meet the needs of installers and homeowners alike. Whether tackling a complete bathroom renovation, refurbishment work or updating a shower cubicle, fitters can rely on the Nuance collection to find a product that will suit most customers’ personal tastes and requirements.
“As well as being visually impactful, featuring decors that have been inspired by natural materials, geometric shapes and tile effect layouts, the panels are really quick to fit too. Using Nuance, large wall areas can be covered in a fraction of the time it takes to apply individual ceramic tiles. Hours that would otherwise be spent grouting and cleaning down afterwards can be reclaimed as well, making it possible to delight customers with a swift schedule of works.
“When time is money and the next project beckons, recommending Nuance is undoubtedly a win-win scenario that makes perfect sense, every step of the way.”
