Artis Bath Panels

Measure the overall length of your bath and the width of the exposed end, then match those to the included in our range sizes, common side lengths here are 1700mm and 1800mm, and end panels are typically 700mm, 750mm or 800mm. If you have a 1700mm bath with a 700mm exposed end, the Artis 1700/700mm side and end pack is a ready match. If only one face is visible you can buy the side or end panel separately. Keep the panel height in mind too, as most models show heights around 480-499mm or 500-599mm.

MDF provides a smooth surface that's ideal for white or grey gloss finishes, giving a sleek modern look; MFC is melamine-faced chipboard with a durable laminated surface, often used for the grey wood finishes. MFC tends to resist moisture and surface wear better, so it's a sensible choice in family bathrooms or where you expect more knocks. If you want a high?gloss, seamless look to match white sanitaryware, MDF gloss panels suit that style well.

Gloss finishes are striking and easy to wipe clean, but they can show water spots and fingerprints more readily than textured finishes. The grey wood MFC options are better at hiding minor scratches and everyday marks, making them lower maintenance visually. a white gloss 1700mm side panel will give a seamless look beside a white bath but need a quick wipe more often, while a grey wood 1700mm side will camouflage scuffs.

Yes, darker grey shades and grey wood finishes are specifically noted for helping to conceal pipework under the bath. A charcoal or grey gloss panel reduces contrast and masks shadows, while a grey wood finish adds texture that distracts from visible piping. If hiding plumbing is important, choose a grey or grey wood side and end pack in the correct sizes for a neater appearance.

Measure from your floor up to the underside of the bath rim and compare with the product heights shown, most Artis panels are listed in the 480–499mm range, with a smaller selection at 500–599mm. If your bath sits higher off the floor or you need to clear trapwork, select a panel from the 500–599mm group. A 1700mm side MDF panel typically sits around 480–499mm high, so double‑check that against your bath before ordering.
