8 Frequently Asked Questions about Fibo Laminate Shower Wall Panels

Written on .
If you’ve ever sighed while scrubbing mold out of grout lines (again), you’re not alone. Tile showers might look nice on day one, but fast-forward a few years and you’ve got cracks, discoloration, and grout that looks like it’s been through a war.
That’s where Fibo laminate shower wall panels come in – no real grout, no endless scrubbing, just a cleaner, simpler bathroom upgrade. But we know homeowners have questions, and we’re here with answers.

Are These Panels Really Waterproof?

Absolutely. These aren’t “kind of waterproof if you’re lucky.” They’re built with a 7- layer marine-grade plywood core, topped with a waterproof laminate, and sealed with Fibo’s Aqualock click system. Think of it like tongue-and-groove flooring — except vertical, stylish, and built to keep water in check.

💧 Our panels come with a lifetime residential warranty, so yes — they’re waterproof, and it’s guaranteed.

What finishes and styles are available?

From marble looks to farmhouse textures, modern concrete, or classic white subway — there’s a style for every taste. Bestsellers include Bianco Marble, White Subway, and Cracked Cement. Whether you want “simple and clean” or “hotel spa chic,” you’ll find a match that doesn’t scream builder’s grade bathroom circa 1995.

How thick are these panels?

They’re about 3/8″ thick, and each one measures roughly 23.6″ × 94.4″ (great for standard 8-foot ceilings). They’re sturdy enough to last but light enough that you won’t need a team of people just to carry them inside.

🧱 Many competing wall panels are only 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick — which makes them flimsy by comparison.

Can I install these myself?

Yes! Many homeowners have successfully installed Fibo panels with basic tools and patience. If you can replace a faucet or assemble furniture, you can handle this. 🪚 Bonus: you don’t need any specialty saws like you would for cutting ceramic tile. And if you’d rather spend your Saturday watching the game or relaxing — a professional installer can finish the job fast.

Can these go over old tile or drywall?

Yes — they can be installed over studs, drywall, and existing ceramic tile or the recommended plywood substrate.  Just make sure the surface is clean, dry, and solid. It’s kind of like painting a room: prep makes all the difference.

🔩 You can either screw or glue the panels in place (inside the tongue-and-groove joint).

How do you clean laminate shower wall panels?

This is one of the biggest selling points. A quick wipe with a mild household cleaner is all it takes. No grout, no harsh scrubbing, and definitely no toothbrush required. If you’ve ever spent half a Sunday with a bottle of bleach and rubber gloves, this will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Do Fibo shower wall panels come with everything I need?

Yes. The kits include trims, sealants, and all the parts that make installation smooth. You won’t have to keep running back to the home improvement store because you forgot “just one more thing.”

What’s the warranty like?

The Fibo Wall Panels come with a lifetime residential warranty. Translation? Once you install them, you can stop worrying about shower walls — for good.
