Robust construction, reliable waterproofing

In high-use commercial spaces, wall finishes need to withstand the demands of everyday use while remaining straightforward to clean and maintain.

Fibo wall panels combine a multi-layer plywood core with a high-pressure laminate surface to create a robust wall finish suited to demanding environments.

When correctly installed as part of the complete Fibo system, the panels create a waterproof wall solution suitable for wet and splash-prone areas. Fibo’s patented Aqualock tongue-and-groove system connects adjoining panels, while dedicated profiles, adhesives, sealants and accessories support the complete installation.

The result is a durable bathroom wall system that can be used across commercial washrooms, showers, changing facilities and other wet environments.

Easier cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning and ongoing maintenance are important considerations for any frequently used commercial environment.

Fibo provides a smooth, grout-free wall surface that is straightforward to clean. Without conventional tile grout lines where dirt and grime can build up, routine cleaning and maintenance can be simplified – particularly valuable across larger facilities with multiple washrooms, showers or changing areas.

For facilities and building operators, fewer grout lines also mean one less element to maintain over the lifetime of the space.

Combined with its waterproof performance and robust construction, this makes Fibo a practical option for commercial environments where appearance needs to be maintained despite frequent use.

Performance without compromising appearance

Practicality doesn’t mean every commercial washroom or changing area has to look the same.

Fibo is available in a wide selection of colours, patterns, textures and tile-effect designs, giving designers and building owners flexibility to create an interior appropriate to the wider environment.

From clean, understated finishes for high-use facilities to more distinctive designs for customer-facing spaces, the same wall system can be used to achieve different aesthetics across a commercial project.

Full-height panels and virtually seamless joints create a clean, considered finish while providing the practical benefits required behind the appearance.

Faster fit-outs and refurbishments

Time can be particularly important when refurbishing an operational commercial space. Extended closures can affect customers, users, staff and revenue, making installation efficiency an important part of project planning.

Fibo’s full-height panels cover large wall areas quickly and connect using the Aqualock tongue-and-groove system. With fewer installation stages and no conventional tile grouting, the Fibo system can be installed up to five times faster than traditional tiling.

Depending on the application and condition of the existing surface, Fibo can also be installed over suitable existing walls or tiles, potentially reducing removal work, mess and disruption during refurbishment.

For new-build commercial projects, the same installation efficiencies can support demanding fit-out programmes across multiple washrooms, changing facilities or wet areas.

This makes Fibo particularly relevant where facilities need to be completed – or brought back into use – efficiently.

Proven performance in commercial environments

Fibo wall panels are already being used in commercial and leisure environments where durability, maintenance and efficient refurbishment are important considerations.

At STC Training Club, in Sweden, Fibo wall panels were utilised in the renovation of the club’s shower facilities for their durability and ease of maintenance.

Portsmouth Leisure Centre were facing a tight turnaround with their facility refurbishment. By fitting Fibo, the works were completed quickly and efficiently, supporting the training schedules dependent on reopening.
