← Back to How to waterproof a resin shower tray

If you are seeking a modern, resilient finish for shower areas, thick resin wall coatings provide both waterproofing and decorative potential. Here’s what to consider when approaching resin wall systems for bathrooms.
Why Use Thick Resin Wall Coating in Showers?
When exposed to frequent moisture and splashing, your shower walls benefit from robust solutions. Vertical Glass resin is engineered specifically for vertical surfaces where traditional tiles or paints might lack durability. The formulation offers a continuous, joint-free layer that resists water ingress and makes cleaning easier than with grouted ceramic tiles.
Application & Design Flexibility
Besides its moisture resistance, thick resin coating can be tinted with pigments—including metallic shades—for unique, bespoke finishes. It is applied using a spatula, allowing control over texture and thickness to match your design vision. Unlike self-levelling resins, products like Vertical Glass retain your chosen patterns or decorative effects, giving you creative flexibility along with protection.
When Does This Solution Matter Most?
- Renovating old tiled walls: Adds a waterproof, seamless new surface without extensive demolition.
- Contemporary wet rooms or walk-in showers: Creates smooth, continuous coverage for a sleek look and straightforward maintenance.
- Custom interiors: Perfect if you want an individual decorative style that stands out from standard tiling.
