Wall Panel 011D: coverage, trims and how many packs to buy

Wall Panel 011D is the wide-board format in the panelling range: a gold and white marble effect PVC board, 90cm across, supplied two to a pack. If you are covering a bathroom wall or the run behind a kitchen worktop and want veined stone without grout lines, this is the sheet to price up. Everything below is read off the Wall Panel 011D gold and white marble wall board listing, and where the listing is silent it says so.

The figures, exactly as listed

The coverage figure checks out against the panel size: 0.9m x 2.4m is 2.16m² a panel, and two of them give the 4.32m² quoted. The obvious reading of the three dimensions is 90 wide, 240 tall and 0.7 thick, and the 240cm in the product name supports it, but the listing does not label them, so confirm which is which before you cut anything.

How many packs for your wall

Work in wall width rather than area. Each pack gives 1.8m of wall width at the full 240cm height, so the sum is short:

• Measure the wall at the top and again at skirting level, and use the wider figure.
• Divide by 0.9 for the number of panels, then round up.
• Halve that for packs, and round up again.

A 3.6m wall is four panels and two packs, with nothing left over. A 3.2m wall is still four panels, and the off-cut from the last one is unlikely to be any use elsewhere, so budget for it. Measure floor to ceiling as well: the board is 240cm, and a taller wall needs a horizontal join or one of the 280cm panels elsewhere in the slat and acoustic panel range.

Trims, corners and the joins you will see

This listing names the pieces that finish the edges, which is unusually helpful and worth copying straight into your order:

• Edges: PVC Strip B - D Gold and White Marble - WP 07/11 - 240cm (1 pack / 10pcs), or Aluminium End Strip in black, gold or silver, 300cm (1 pack / 10pcs).
• Corners: PVC Corner Strip - D Gold and White Marble - WP 07/11 - 240cm (1 pack / 4pcs), or Aluminium Corner Strip in black, gold or silver, 300cm (1 pack / 10pcs).
• Board-to-board join: Aluminium I Strip in black, gold or silver, 300cm (1 pack / 10pcs).

Those are separate items, not part of this pack, and the listing does not say how many you need for a given wall. Decide the look first: the matching PVC strips disappear into the marble, while a black, gold or silver aluminium edge reads as a deliberate line around the panelled area. Add adhesive for wall panels to the same order, because none is included.

What the listing does not tell you

Better to name the gaps than to guess at them:

• It describes the board as PVC and moisture resistant, suited to kitchens, bathrooms and feature walls, but quotes no rating or test figure. If it is going inside a shower enclosure rather than near one, ask the shop what the supplier specifies.
• No fire classification is given.
• It does not say whether the marble is a printed surface or runs through the sheet, which decides how a cut edge looks and whether you need a trim on every cut.
• No weight per panel is given, and that is the figure you want before carrying 90cm boards up a stairwell on your own.
• No cleaning instruction is given.

This is a bought-in board that the shop supplies, so those answers come from the supplier's data. Ask before you order and they can be checked for you.

The same look in other formats

If the colour is right but the format is not, the range carries alternatives. Wall Panel 011A in white marble is the same two-piece board without the gold veining. Wall Panel 011C in gold and black marble is the dark version, for a room that already has plenty of daylight. Wall Panel 07D is listed in the same gold and white marble but four pieces to a pack, so check its panel width on its own page before comparing the two on coverage.

Delivery is free within 50 miles of the Glasgow store and £50 beyond. Once you have the wall width and height written down, the figures and photographs are on the Wall Panel 011D gold and white marble wall board page, and the shop can go through the trim counts with you.
