Fibo is the name of a Norwegian manufacturer and the wall panel system they produce.
Fibo is one of the world’s leading suppliers of wall panels. From a technically advanced and award-winning factory in southern Norway, Fibo produces millions of precision-engineered laminated wall panels every year.
Since 1952 Fibo AS has developed and manufactured beautiful and functional wall linings.
Located in Southern Norway, Fibo started as a modest operation making building materials from locally sourced timber.
70 years of continual product development has resulted in an incredibly efficient and practical wall system.
Some of Fibo’s achievements include:
- Inventing the ‘Aqualock’ tongue & groove, whereby panels easily ‘click’ together creating an almost seamless and watertight joint. Since being developed in 2002 by Fibo many manufacturers have tried to imitate the Aqualock click system.
- In 2015 to satisfy growing demand, Fibo made a substantial technology investment by designing and building a purpose-built high efficiency low emissions wall panel factory.
- By 2017 Fibo introduced a new technique that created traditional tile designs that are grout-free, by milling specially prepared laminates to fashion faux grout lines.
Norwegian made, Fibo is Scandinavia’s number one supplier of wet area wall linings.
Fibo wall panels are also used in Europe and North America where it is installed in over 100,000 bathrooms every year.
Now available in Australia, the Fibo wall panel system is a simple alternative to traditional wall linings.
