Grant Westfield: Smarter Wall Solutions for Hospitality Design

With more than 140 years of manufacturing expertise, Grant Westfield is a trusted name in interior building products, delivering innovative wall panel solutions that combine design freedom with practical performance. Manufacturing in the UK, the company is behind two established brands – Multipanel and Naturepanel – offering designers, architects and specifiers a versatile alternative to traditional wall finishes across hospitality environments.

For hotels, bathrooms and wet areas need to work hard. They must withstand frequent use, be easy to maintain and deliver the high-quality aesthetic guests expect, while refurbishment programmes need to minimise disruption and maximise room availability. Grant Westfield’s panel systems have been developed with these demands in mind, helping hospitality projects achieve a premium finish without compromising on installation efficiency or long-term performance.

Multipanel is the UK’s leading waterproof wall panel brand, offering a grout-free alternative to tiles in an extensive choice of colours, patterns and textures. From sophisticated marble and natural stone effects to contemporary tile designs and warm wood-inspired finishes, the collection gives specifiers the flexibility to create everything from timeless hotel bathrooms to distinctive, design-led schemes.

At the heart of the system is Multipanel’s patented Hydrolock® joint, which creates a highly water-resistant connection between panels for a clean, streamlined finish. Panels can also be installed over existing surfaces, helping to reduce preparation time and avoid the disruption associated with stripping out traditional tiled finishes.

Complementing Multipanel, Naturepanel brings a more natural, tactile aesthetic to commercial interiors. The collection has continued to evolve with the introduction of Shiplap and Woodslat, expanding the design possibilities for hospitality environments. Shiplap recreates the familiar character of painted timber cladding, while Woodslat introduces the warmth and rhythm of contemporary slatted timber. Both provide designers with an opportunity to incorporate texture, depth and biophilic-inspired detailing into bathrooms, spas, wellness spaces and other hospitality interiors, without the maintenance considerations associated with natural timber in wet areas.

The latest Naturepanel designs reflect the growing demand for more characterful, tactile interiors, where natural references and layered textures can help create a stronger sense of place. They also allow designers to carry a cohesive material language beyond the bathroom, creating visual continuity between wet areas and wider hotel interiors.

Efficiency is increasingly important for hotel refurbishment programmes. Grant Westfield wall panels can be installed significantly faster than traditional tiling, with no grouting or specialist wet-trade skills required. Faster installation can mean less disruption on site and help rooms return to service sooner – an important consideration for operators looking to balance ambitious refurbishment plans with commercial demands.

The benefits continue beyond installation. Grout-free surfaces are simple to clean and maintain, while fewer joints can help create a hygienic, hardwearing finish that continues to look its best despite the demands of a busy hospitality environment.

Sustainability is also central to Grant Westfield’s approach. Multipanel and Naturepanel are FSC® certified (FSC® C128180) and 100% recyclable, with products manufactured in the UK using responsibly sourced materials. This provides hospitality specifiers with the opportunity to make more considered material choices without compromising on aesthetics, durability or performance.

From boutique hotels and luxury developments to large-scale refurbishment programmes, Grant Westfield provides wall solutions that bring together design, efficiency, durability and sustainability – helping create hospitality spaces that perform as impressively as they look.
