Bathroom brand Kinedo has expanded its Kinewall wall panel range with a new set of animal-inspired designs launched under its Signature collection, with a Highland cow print among the new patterns. Kinewall panels sit in the large-format waterproof wall panel category — a tile alternative fitted as big rigid sheets rather than individual tiles, typically bonded directly to plasterboard, tile backer board or existing tiles with trims sealing the joints.
The appeal of that panel format for bathroom fitters is speed and reduced mess: no grout lines to maintain, no tiling skill threshold, and a full wall covered in far fewer pieces than a tiled equivalent, which matters on bathroom refits where the client wants minimum downtime. A novelty print like a Highland cow design is clearly aimed at homeowners wanting a statement bathroom rather than a neutral finish, but it uses the same fitting method as Kinedo's standard Kinewall ranges.
Why this matters for UK trades
Large-format wall panels have become a regular request on bathroom refits, particularly from clients who want a faster turnaround than a full tiling job or who are nervous about grout maintenance. A widening range of finishes, including novelty prints, gives fitters another option to offer at the design stage — worth having a sample or the Kinedo catalogue on hand for clients who want something more distinctive than plain colour or stone-effect panels.
