Shower back panel experiences, quality, joints?

Aluminum composite shower back wall panels

Is it patterned somehow or does it have a prison cell atmosphere? I would choose tiles – any additional different surface (texture, color, structure) makes the bathroom feel unsettled.

Price for XL tiles installed by a professional is around €1000 (160cm x 320cm) and €600 (120cm x 240cm). Now you can calculate yourself how many you need. Normally 3-4 slabs.

Per tile?

Yes, but relocated (with all cutouts etc., which is not easy at this size)

I wouldn't take it too big either, because it should also fit the room and not consist of nothing but cuts. From 60cm upwards it looks stylish to me, especially if you also show a good sense of color. You can partially admire WCs with a lot of stainless steel at small [BAB] parking lots.... yuck or, as mentioned above, in prison. I believe you have to contribute a very homey level of creativity there or you can quickly get it completely wrong, which is why the classic tile style would definitely take precedence for me. Besides, the options with tiles/grout are practically endless.

I found a shower panel from Hüppe that I liked. However, since they even refused to send me a sample during the Corona period and referred me to the exhibitors, I decided against this company. I am also afraid that the whole thing might not look that high-quality. Therefore, we will go with tiles after all.
