Carron Bath Panels

Measure the exposed edge you need to cover: the long side is usually 1700 mm and uses a side panel, while short ends are 700 mm or 750 mm and use an end panel. Also measure the vertical distance from the floor to the underside of the bath rim and match that to the panel height offered — typical heights are 430 mm, 515 mm and 540 mm. For example, a Carron 1700 mm Integra bath with a 515 mm skirt will need a 1700 mm side panel at 515 mm height for a neat fit.

Acrylic panels give a crisp, bright finish and are durable for normal domestic use, while Carronite panels have Carron’s triple‑layer reinforcement for extra strength and long‑term rigidity. If you have a busy family bathroom or want greater resistance to flexing, Carronite is worth the extra cost; acrylic is fine for standard use and remains bright with simple care. Prices reflect this, with Carronite models running roughly £20–£40 higher than the acrylic equivalents.

You need an end panel when the short, narrow face of the bath is exposed; end panels are offered in 700 mm and 750 mm lengths to suit shorter bath ends. If the long side of your bath is the visible face, you should select a 1700 mm side panel. For instance, a compact bathroom with the bath length against two walls but an open short end needs a 700 mm or 750 mm end panel.

Yes, panels are produced to match specific Carron ranges so the style and sizing align with the corresponding baths, such as Axis, Integra and Quantum models. Using the panel named for your bath range gives a seamless look and guaranteed sizing compatibility. For example, an Integra 1700 mm bath will pair neatly with the Carron Integra 1700 mm side panel.

Carron panels are made from durable acrylic or reinforced Carronite so they resist everyday wear and retain a crisp white finish; Carronite adds extra long‑term stability against sagging. Maintain the surface with a soft cloth and a non‑abrasive cleaner to avoid scratches; for a high‑use family bathroom, the reinforced Carronite offers greater peace of mind.
