Polyrey Nuance waterproof wall panel system: ATEx validated by the CSTB

Indeed, these 100% waterproof panels have the advantage of creating a bathroom in record time (usable only 24 hours after installation), thanks to a simple assembly system (tongue and groove) which, moreover, induces , the use of three times fewer joints than for a tiled surface¹ !

Ease, speed and safety of implementation which win all the votes (those of craftsmen and prescribers).

And end users are not left out since Polyrey, always attentive to aesthetics as well as technical performance, offers no less than 33 large format decorations, giving a monumental dimension to the arranged pieces, and 6 structures (smooth or textured, matte or glossy) for refined or sophisticated, classic or contemporary atmospheres.

Finally, thanks to their rounded edges, Nuance panels avoid the use of profiles, offering an impeccable finish and absolute hygiene since there is less relief where dirt could become embedded.

Full height wall cladding, or custom height, in shower or bath area, on several sections of wall, bathtub apron, washbasin backsplash... Nuance is available as desired, whatever the type of project (hotel , health, education and residential).

Nuance: the only system of decorative composite panels for wet rooms benefiting from ATEx

Obtaining this ATEx certifies that the Nuance waterproof panel solution has been verified by experts, on the basis of a technical file, and its implementation validated. The latter is precisely at the heart of attention because it is particularly easy, fast, clean and secure.

In a bathroom, replacing or covering existing tiling, without leveling, on water-repellent plasterboard or on any support suitable for wet areas, Nuance is THE transformation solution in just a few clicks!

Key to Polyrey's innovation, the Safe&Connect tongue and groove connection allows, in fact, express vertical assembly of the panels before their fixing by simple gluing, their jointing constituting a lasting barrier to any infiltration.

Note that the very core of Nuance panels, made of composite material, is naturally water resistant, without any alteration over time. It should also be noted that Polyrey supplies the entire ready-to-use system, the panels of course but also the glue and colored “Complete” seals of sanitary antibacterial and antifungal quality.

Everything is kept under the seal of simplicity during assembly, but also upstream: lightweight panels in 2 formats adapted to construction standards (260 x 120 cm² and 260 x 60 cm³), each measuring 11,7 mm thick (a guarantee of rigidity and resistance), can be easily cut and drilled using common woodworking tools.

And downstream, as no finishing profile is required, this is de facto a tedious and time-consuming operation. Highly appreciated by installation companies, productivity gains and increased profitability therefore result from this ingenious system, which also helps to use three times less grout than for tiling.¹.

A reduction in the downtime of the fitted premises which satisfies users just as much since they can use their bathroom only 24 hours after installation!

Last advantage: the application of Nuance panels generates little noise and dust pollution (unlike the installation of earthenware for example).

Hygiene and sustainability

The particularly robust surface of Nuance High Pressure Laminate panels makes it ideal for highly exposed environments (such as hotels or healthcare establishments). Flat and non-porous, it intrinsically prevents the development of mold and fungi, without additional treatment. Easy (again!) to clean using a sponge by spraying with common household products, including descaling agents, it also resists professional disinfection protocols (in the hospital sector for example), ensuring optimal durability.

Let us add that, like all Polyrey solutions, its protection by Sanitized® certified silver ions (integrated directly into the material at the time of its manufacture) guarantees the destruction of more than 99,9% of bacteria in just 24 hours. Please also note that the use of Complete products during the implementation of the Nuance system contributes to the validation of the 15-year warranty.⁴.

Large format, ultra realistic or resolutely original designs

If the very discretion of the Safe&Connect connection of the Nuance system contributes to a neat result, the Polyrey designers have given it another emblematic signature: large format decorations, the patterns of which differ on each panel to increase the natural appearance of the whole .

Because authenticity proves to be constitutive of the 33 decorations in the collection. Materials (such as marble, concrete, zinc or lava stone) and Woods (maple, oak, ash, walnut, etc.) compete in realism. As for the plain decors, they are adorned with elegance (from Blanc Megève to Blanc Menuires, including Beige Nature Fumée or Gris Orage) for refined arrangements, whether they play the card of a hushed minimalism or an ardent audacity. And since Polyrey thinks of everything, the colored joints offered coordinate with the decor!

In terms of surface effects, all tastes will be satisfied since 6 finishes include satin (FA), lacquered (Brillant), matte and lined (Linimat), grained to subtly highlight the wood fiber (Selva) or even slightly cloudy feel (Extramat). ) and printing of raw material (Granite).

Finally, the last aesthetic added value: the complementarity of the Nuance decors with those of other Polyrey products, namely Polyrey HPL® (High Pressure HPL Laminate), Polyprey® (HPL Laminate laminated on panel), Reysipur® (Compact HPL Laminate) and Panoprey® (Melamine). Thus, everything can be harmonized within the same space if desired: furniture, doors, toilet cubicles, wall coverings... for perfect unity in your bathroom, down to the smallest details.

Please note that Polyrey offers training to installers and technical support for construction site starts with their Experts.

Words from experts…

Fabien Viey, M&F Arrangement

Founded in 2018 by two experienced enthusiasts, M&F Agencement specializes in interior design, mainly for residential use (custom kitchens, dressing rooms, bathrooms, staircases, contemporary furniture, etc.).

Fabien Viey, trained cabinetmaker, confides: “We manufacture all of our creations in our workshop located in Bulle, in the heart of Franche-Comté. We have always worked with Polyrey, because architects often favor their laminates. The discovery of Nuance panels, during a technical day organized by the Société Coopérative des Artisans du Bois, was a real revelation. Firstly because they are light, therefore very easy to handle. Then because the tongue-and-groove system and its jointing are extremely simple, with joint colors matching the panels for a perfectly harmonious result.

Another advantage of its implementation: you simply glue the panel directly to the existing support, whereas in the case of a compact laminate for example, you must leave an air gap so that the panel does not bend. The panels come in several sizes and are easily cut to fit every corner. And finally, the icing on the cake, there is no need for profiles, the rounded edges provide a clean finish!

We thus created the 12 bathrooms of the Résidence Hôtelière Le Sommet in Doubs. This involved dressing the walls, the shower cubicles and the support frame for the wall-hung toilets. 4 different atmospheres were desired by the architects and we thus mixed several decors: Scandinavian Ash, Alba Oak, Massif Oak, Terrazzo Cassata, Brasilia, Woodstone Gray…

In total, we installed 129 panels in just 3 weeks on site (all work combined). »

Jérémie Sonneville, H2ZO SERVICES

With a BTS in carpentry and layout, then training in plumbing, Jérémie Sonneville created his company three years ago. Specializing in sanitary installations in particular, it was by ordering samples from Polyrey that the entrepreneur learned about Nuance panels.

Jérémie Sonneville explains: “From the start I worked with Nuance panels and today I still only work with Nuance for bathroom cladding. I appreciate the ease of assembly of course, but also the optimal quality of the product, the thickness of the panel which gives it its rigidity while it is extremely light in itself.

Just as I learned about Nuance thanks to samples, it is these same samples (A4 format to clearly understand the product) which allow me to perfectly explain to my customers how the device is assembled, the advantage of the rounded ends and the rendering of the decorations.

In terms of decor, Veneto Marble is a huge success, it is strikingly realistic and its large format brings a new dimension to bathrooms. Recently, he saw himself “challenged” by Terrazzo Cassata and Pierre de Lave, which were very popular, in a more contemporary spirit. Finally, my clients also appreciate the fact that I can design their bathroom in just one day!

Furthermore, being labeled Handibat, with many PMR achievements to my credit, I am happy to be able to offer designer showers that do not look medicalized! »
