Choosing
Which thickness and length do I need?
Two decisions: how thick the panel is, and how long. Thickness follows the format — the wider 1m boards are thicker — and length is about the height of the room, not about coverage.
Thickness
- 5mm — 250mm panels
- The narrow-format panels. Light to handle and quick to run, and the same 100% waterproof surface as every other Pannello panel.
- 8mm — 250mm panels, including all Linea
- A more substantial narrow panel. Every Linea tile-effect panel is 8mm.
- 10mm — 1m boards
- The wide-format boards. Fewer joints across a wall, because one board covers a full metre on its own.
Length
Length is the height the panel covers. Anything above your ceiling line is cut off, so a longer panel does not give you more coverage — it gives you more room to work with.
- 2400mm
- Standard ceiling height. The 1m range.
- 2600mm
- Taller rooms, or where you want cutting slack.
- 2700mm — Linea only
- The extra length lets you stagger the scored cut lines between panels, so the tile effect does not repeat in a uniform grid.
- 4000mm
- Horizontal runs and ceilings — a 4m length spans a ceiling or a feature wall without a join.
How many packs?
Every pack covers one metre of wall width, whichever range you choose: the 1m range as a single 1000mm board, the 250mm range as four 250mm panels. So measure the width of each wall in metres and round up. Allow a little extra for cuts and mistakes.
metres
| Wall width | Packs |
|---|---|
| 2 m | 2 |
| 3 m | 3 |
| 4 m | 4 |
| 5 m | 5 |
| 6 m | 6 |
| 8 m | 8 |
| 10 m | 10 |
Then pick the length to suit the room height:
| Length | Best for | Finishes |
|---|---|---|
| 2400 mm | Standard ceiling height | 18 available |
| 2600 mm | Taller rooms, or cutting slack | 15 available |
| 2700 mm | Linea only — lets cut lines be staggered | 4 available |
| 4000 mm | Ceilings and horizontal runs, no join | 2 available |

Common questions
- How thick are Pannello wall panels?
- Panels come in 5mm and 8mm in the 250mm range, and 10mm in the 1m range. All are 100% waterproof regardless of thickness.
- How many packs of wall panels do I need?
- Each pack covers one metre of wall width, in both ranges. Measure the width of each wall in metres and round up, allowing a little extra for cuts.
- What length wall panel do I need?
- Match the length to your ceiling height: 2400mm for a standard ceiling, 2600mm or 2700mm for taller rooms, and 4000mm for ceilings or horizontal runs. The excess is cut off.
