A waterproof wall system designed for specification
When performance, aesthetics and environmental considerations all need to be addressed within the same specification, Fibo provides a complete waterproof wall panel system suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Fibo combines high-pressure laminate (HPL) surfaces with a multi-layer birch plywood core to create a durable, hygienic alternative to traditional tiling. Available in a broad choice of colours, textures, patterns and tile-effect finishes, Fibo gives architects and specifiers design flexibility without losing sight of practical project requirements.
From bathrooms and wet rooms to kitchens, changing facilities and other demanding environments, the system brings together design, performance and installation efficiency in one wall panel specification.
Support programme efficiency with Fibo
Installation can have a significant impact on project programmes, particularly across large-scale developments and refurbishment schemes.
Fibo’s full-height panels can be installed directly onto suitable existing walls or studwork, with panels connecting using the patented Fibo Aqualock tongue-and-groove joint. This allows large wall areas to be covered efficiently without the multiple stages associated with traditional tiling.
For refurbishment projects, the ability to install Fibo over suitable existing surfaces can help minimise disruption. Across projects at scale, the fast-fit system can also reduce installation and labour time, making programme efficiency an important consideration when developing a waterproof wall panel specification.
The complete system includes panels, profiles, adhesives, sealants and accessories, providing a coordinated approach from specification through to installation.
Robust construction, environmentally conscious
Durability is particularly important when specifying finishes for bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchens and high-use environments.
Fibo panels use a high-pressure laminate surface bonded to a multi-layer birch plywood core. Developed through decades of wall panel manufacturing experience, this construction creates a robust surface designed to withstand the demands of everyday use.
The grout-free finish also reduces ongoing maintenance requirements compared with conventional tiled surfaces, making Fibo particularly relevant where durability, cleaning and long-term maintenance are important considerations.
Environmental information to support specification
Responsible sourcing and access to transparent environmental information are increasingly important parts of the specification process.
Fibo wall panels are manufactured using PEFC-certified wood, supporting responsible forestry and material sourcing. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide specifiers with independently documented environmental information about Fibo products and their impact across the product lifecycle.
This information can support project teams assessing material choices and environmental performance as part of wider sustainability and certification requirements.

Performance that helps meet project requirements
For projects requiring waterproof, hygienic and low-maintenance wall finishes, Fibo provides a grout-free alternative to traditional tiling.
The HPL surface is non-porous and easy to clean, while Fibo’s complete waterproof wall system combines the panels with its Aqualock joint technology and dedicated sealants and installation products to create the finished installation.
Fibo can therefore be considered across a broad range of specifications, from modular construction and large-scale housing programmes to hotels, education, healthcare and other commercial environments.
Where specific performance criteria need to be demonstrated, Fibo provides technical documentation and product information to support the specification process.
Design flexibility without compromising the brief
Performance does not need to dictate the aesthetic.
Fibo is available in a wide selection of colours, textures, patterns and tile-effect décors, allowing architects and designers to select finishes appropriate to different interior schemes and applications. Full-height panels can create a clean, continuous appearance, while tile-effect options provide the visual character of traditional tiling without conventional grout lines.
This breadth of choice gives specifiers the flexibility to use the same wall system across different spaces while adapting the finish to the individual design intent.
Fibo in practice
In a boutique hotel renovation, Fibo panels offer a blend of modern convenience and classic charm to each of the hotel’s nine bathrooms.
For a supermarket café in Sweden, the brief required a durable and hygienic surface that was cost-effective. Fibo panels were specified and delivered a clean and sleek finish.
The key objectives in bathroom fitouts for Magna Housing Association are efficient, high-quality and robust solutions, this is why they specify Fibo.
