June 2026
Grant Westfield, the company behind leading wall panel brands Multipanel and Naturepanel, will return to Housing 2026 to demonstrate how accessible bathroom spaces can combine practicality, durability and style.
Taking place at Manchester Central from 23 to 25 June, Housing 2026 brings together professionals from across the housing and wider living sector, with a focus on creating high-quality, accessible and affordable homes. Grant Westfield will use the event to show how its wall panel solutions can support social housing providers, local authorities, contractors and specifiers in delivering bathrooms that are easier to install, easier to maintain and more visually appealing for residents.
With accessible bathrooms a key consideration for many housing organisations, the Grant Westfield stand will highlight how inclusive bathroom design does not need to feel clinical or compromise on aesthetics. Visitors will be able to explore how decorative waterproof wall panels can help create welcoming, stylish and hardwearing bathroom environments that meet the practical demands of social housing while supporting better resident experiences.
On Stand G29, Grant Westfield will showcase a range of wall panel solutions from Multipanel and Naturepanel, including traditional decors designed for everyday housing applications. The stand will also feature a Laura Ashley wall, demonstrating how more decorative finishes can be used to bring warmth, colour and character into accessible bathroom schemes.
For housing providers managing planned works, refurbishments and void property turnarounds, Grant Westfield’s panels offer a practical alternative to traditional tiles. Their grout-free design helps reduce installation time, simplify cleaning and support long-term maintenance, while large-format panels can help create a smooth, high-quality finish with fewer joints.
The panels are designed to be quick and straightforward to fit, helping contractors reduce time on site and minimise disruption for residents. This is particularly important in social housing environments, where bathroom works often need to be completed efficiently while maintaining safe access and comfort for tenants.
Grant Westfield’s specification team will be on hand throughout the event to discuss how Multipanel and Naturepanel can support housing projects of different sizes and requirements, from accessible bathroom upgrades to wider refurbishment programmes. The team will also be available to talk through design options, installation considerations and the benefits of specifying waterproof wall panels across social housing stock.
With sustainability and whole-life value continuing to shape housing sector decisions, Multipanel and Naturepanel provide a durable, low-maintenance option for landlords seeking interiors that balance cost efficiency, resident satisfaction and design appeal. Manufactured in the UK using FSC-certified materials, the panels also offer significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared with traditional tiles.
A spokesperson for Grant Westfield said: “Accessible bathrooms are an important focus for many organisations across the housing sector, but practical spaces can still feel considered, comfortable and design-led. At Housing 2026, we want to show that wall panels can help create bathrooms that work for residents, contractors and housing providers alike.
“Our Multipanel and Naturepanel ranges are designed to make bathroom refurbishment faster and easier, while offering a broad choice of finishes to suit different schemes. With the addition of a Laura Ashley feature wall on the stand, we’ll be demonstrating how accessible bathroom areas can be both functional and stylish.”
