Kartell K-VIT Mouldwood Two Piece Bath Panel – White Gloss (Front & End)

The Mouldwood is the most substantial of Kartell's bath panels. Where the others are thin mouldings, this is a two piece panel and the 1700mm front weighs 15.45kg – close to three times a standard panel. It feels and sounds solid when you knock it, more like a piece of furniture than a bath panel.

It comes in one front length, 1700mm, with a matching 700mm end panel, both in white gloss.

What the weight buys you

Three things, and they all follow from the same thing.

No flex at all. A solid panel does not give when leaned on, so the silicone seal along the top edge is not being worked loose year after year.
It does not sound hollow. The drumming noise a thin panel makes when knocked is the main thing that makes a bath feel cheap.
A flatter, truer face. Heavier board holds its shape across 1700mm rather than bowing gently between fixings.

The trade is handling. At 15.45kg it is a two-person lift into a bathroom, and cutting it is more work than trimming a moulded panel.

See the Supastyle panel for other lengths, or the Sonic reinforced panel for a lighter panel that still resists flexing.

Before you order

Only 1700mm. If your bath is 1500, 1600 or 1800mm, this range will not cover it.
Plan for the weight. A two-person lift, and heavier fixings than a moulded panel needs.
Do you need an end panel? Only if one end of the bath is open. A bath in an alcove needs the front panel alone.

Fitting tips

Level the bath and set the rim height before cutting anything. Support the panel properly while cutting – a heavy board will chip its gloss face if it is allowed to flex or drop on the cut. Fix it so it can be removed again: it is the only way back to the waste and trap, and on a panel this heavy that means fixings you can actually undo rather than silicone alone.
