You can use plenty of materials for claddings, but popular options include solid core boards, uPVC, and acrylic boards. Solid core boards are inexpensive to build and install but need to be laminated on both sides. uPVC is known for its durability and hard-wearing properties. Acrylics mimic glass panels but cost less and can be installed on-site, making them perfect for shower claddings and expanding perceived space instead of closing it in.
