Painéis de Pedra Artificial para Box de Duche – Artificial Stone Shower Wall Panels: How a Portugal-Based Artificial-Stone Supplier Cuts Costs by 18 % in B2B Wet-Room Wall Solutions | 2025

Introdução

Hotel designers and procurement teams for construction chains in Lisbon and Porto complain of delays and cost overruns in bathroom cladding. This step-by-step guide shows how Portuguese shower-enclosure stone panels deliver made-to-measure engineered-stone wall tiles that comply with EN 14411 and boost ROI on B2B bathroom-wall cladding.

1. Why Custom Shower Wall Panels Made in Portugal Now Lead European Specifications

Domestic manufacturers blend quartz resin with regional marble, achieving a density ≥ 2.4 g/cm³ and water absorption < 0.05 %. The result is an artificial-stone slab distributor able to offer a 10-year anti-mould warranty, outperforming traditional ceramics that require maintenance every 24 months. For B2B buyers, this lowers CAC—customer-acquisition cost—because hotels reduce downtime and renovate rooms 30 % faster.

2. How to Order B2B Wet-Room Wall Solutions with a 4-Week Lead Time

1) Send CAD drawings to info@kotabaths.com; 2) Allow a 3 mm recess for aluminium-profile joints; 3) Request a free 15 × 15 cm sample; 4) Sign the PI under FOB Leixões Incoterms. A vertical chain—quarry in Estremoz, resin in Sines, CNC cutting in Aveiro—delivers 600 m²/week, enough for an 80-bathroom project with no priority surcharge.

3. Case Study: Vila Galé Group Replaced Ceramic Tiles with Engineered-Stone Wall Tiles and Saved €120 k

During the 2024 refurbishment, 220 rooms in Vilamoura received 120 × 280 cm panels weighing 38 kg each. Mechanical installation took 1.5 days per room, cutting labour by 40 %. Management reported an 18 % drop in total construction costs and a 4.2-point rise in the Guest Satisfaction Score, proving that a Portugal-based artificial-stone supplier delivers measurable value to hotel chains.

4. Compliance & Certifications: What Procurement Must Validate Before Issuing the PO

Require CE + CPR (Construction Products Regulation) and a chemical-resistance report per ISO 10545-13. Our artificial-stone shower wall panels meet both and hold LEED v4 “Low-Emitting Materials” certification, allowing your project to earn 1 credit—an edge in eco-hospitality tenders.

5. Installation Steps to Prevent Breakage and Ensure Watertightness

a) Check flatness ≤ 2 mm / 2 m; b) Apply acrylic primer; c) Use C2TE adhesive with a 6 mm notch; d) Install panels bottom-up with double suction cups; e) Apply neutral silicone at corners. Following the manual generates only 2 % waste versus the typical 8 % for ceramic tile, cutting site waste and DMR rates.
