welcome to bushboard welcome to nuance

We have been developing kitchen and bathroom surfaces in the UK since 1935 and the idea that everyone deserves great design whatever their budget underpins our entire approach to surfacing.

When you buy Nuance you are buying into our ethos of exceptional quality, exquisite design, excellent value and of course, first class customer care. We are proud that our surfaces are made in the UK.

We want to ensure you get the very best from your new wall panels and vanity surfaces. Our wall panels carry a 15 year guarantee so you can be sure your bathroom surfaces will look sensational for years to come.

Nuance is an award-winning, 100% waterproof wall panelling system that looks beautiful and will last for years to come.

With no grout to clean and no ugly trims, Nuance is the best way to get a smooth and watertight finish in a bathroom or shower room, and comes with a 15 year guarantee.

what makes a nuance panel?

100% waterproof

With Nuance you can be 100% confident that our panels are 100% waterproof – that’s because our panels are uniquely manufactured using a synthetic, homogenous core that is 100% impervious to water. Add to that the highperformance surface, plus installation with our waterproof adhesive and sealant Complete, and you have a bathroom area that is guaranteed for 15 years.

no trims required

Nuance is unique for being a patented, trim-free system. The large format panels have a postformed outer edge that means no trims are required for finishing. The tongue and groove panels can be jointed with our bespoke adhesive.

This gives you joints which are 100% watertight and creates a seamless finish. With no trims needed, you don’t have to compromise in your bathroom design.

easy & fast installation

Our panels can be tailored and installed in a matter of hours. So if you’re planning a bathroom project, you can cut down on the disruption and time taken compared to tiling. Plus, with Nuance panels being so easy to install, you won’t need a specialist tiler.

15 year guarantee

We’re proud to offer a 15 year guarantee on our Nuance panels. As long as you use our Complete sealant and adhesive, you can rest easy in a waterproof bathroom.

great choice of designs

We offer a huge range of different designs, so no matter what style of bathroom you’d like, you can rest assured there’s a Nuance design to suit.

From realistic wood panels complete with woodgrain texture, to our new tile design panels, achieving the bathroom you want is simple.

a guide to texture

flexible panel sizes

Our range of Nuance panels gives real flexibility to shape the perfect bathroom. The postformed panels and the standard tongue and groove panels can be linked together to create walk-in wetrooms and work with any shower enclosure. And you can finish a wall wherever you please with the versatile 160mm finishing panel. Here we show you what’s on offer.

Postformed panels

The most versatile of our panels for shower enclosures and bath panels.

Features one finished radius edge and one tongue to link to T&G panels.

Size 2420 x 1200mm one finished radius edge and one tongue.

Feature panels

With two pre-finished edges, the ideal panel to finish behind WCs and wash basins. It’s especially good for cloakrooms and en-suites.

Size 2420 x 580mm with two finished radius edges.

Tongue and groove panels

Our T&G panels in 1200mm widths result in less joints, as well as offering the flexibility for less waste nd less cost.

Size 2420 x 1200mm tongue and groove.

Our T&G panels in 600mm widths offer the flexibility for less waste and less cost.

Size 2420 x 600mm tongue and groove.

Acrylic panels

Size 2440 x 1220mm supplied pre-finished.

160mm

Finishing panels

This panel allows you to finish a run of T&G panels vertically with a neat postformed edge detail, instead of using trims. It can also be used as an upstand.

Size 2420 x 160mm one finished radius edge and one tongue.

Nuance Acrylic panels are available in one size only. They can be butt jointed and sealed together with our Complete sealant to create your perfect, bespoke design. Alternatively trims are available for Acrylic designs if you would prefer to use them.

Working with designs and joints

Patterns are not designed to align across joints, with the exception of our Nuance Designer Tiles. Whilst this is normal for natural stones and woodgrains, it will be more obvious on designer decors such as the Herringbone designs. However individual patterns will not continue over the joint. It is possible to design around this by using panels individually as accents. These designs do work perfectly well in corners where aligning horizontally creates a natural effect.

Carrara Marble Slab Acrylic and Designer Tiles are the exception; With Carrara Marble Slab Acrylic the decor is specifically designed to be installed to create a book- matched effect where the mirrored design between the A and B panels will align across joints.

Nuance Designer Tiles are specifically designed to align like tiles, meaning that when the panels are fixed together, the design continues seamlessly

Panel trims - Nuance & Nuance Designer

All Nuance panels are waterproof so do not require trims. However, if you have a preference to use them they are available in satin silver, white and black.

Panel trims - Nuance Acrylic

Available in satin silver and white. Types: internal, external and end cap.

Vanity Surfaces

Laminate vanity surfaces come with a matching edge strip.

Complete Adhesive

To validate your 15 year guarantee Complete adhesive must be used.

Nuance must be bonded to the wall with Complete panel adhesive and as this is not seen it is a cost effective neutral colour. Designed to fit a heavy-duty mastic gun, one cartridge installs one 1200mm panel.

Complete is also available as a sealant in ten colour options to co-ordinate with the full range of Nuance designs. See the range matrix opposite for our suggested colour for your chosen design.

Do I need to use metal trims?

Nuance is unique for being a trim-free system. No trims are required for finishing.

Can I sit the Nuance panel directly onto a shower tray or bath edge?

Yes. Nuance panels must be fitted onto a shower tray or bath edge and a 3-5mm gap left, which should be filled with a bead of Complete coloured sealant.

How much adhesive and sealant is required for one panel?

For Nuance and Nuance Designer: 1 x 290ml tube of adhesive is required to bond a 1200mm panel to the wall. 1 x 290ml tube of sealant contains 20 linear metres at a 5mm bead.

For Nuance Acrylic: 2 x 290ml tubes of adhesive are required to bond a 1200mm panel to the wall

Can I hang wall mounted items to Nuance panels?

Yes, wall mounted items can be hung on to a Nuance panel as long as the fixings go through the panel into a solid wall behind.

Do I have to use Complete and how should it be used?

Yes, you have to use Complete adhesive and sealant in order to validate your 15 year guarantee. Complete adhesive is our neutral quick grab adhesive used for bonding panels to the wall. Complete coloured sealant should be used for all joints

Can I use a Nuance panel as a bath panel so it will match the rest of the bathroom?

Yes, visit www.bushboard.co.uk and watch our installation video for advice on how to cut a 1200mm postformed panel for this purpose.

Can I fit the Nuance panels to plasterboard?

Yes, as long as the plasterboard is secure, flat, smooth and clean.

Can I apply Nuance panels directly to tiles?

Yes, as long as the tiles are clean, smooth and solid and all existing sealant is removed. The tiles should be scarified with abrasive paper.

Can you butt joint panels together?

Yes, ensure that Complete sealant is used to form watertight joints.

How do I clean Nuance panels?

All you need to do is wipe them down with a moist cloth and your favourite mild detergent.

What if my ceiling is taller than the height of the panel? The maximum height of the panel is 2420mm and 2440mm for acrylic. If you require taller than this you can butt joint panels, to the top, to achieve the desired height.
