The present invention provides a panel (10) for modular construction of a wet area. The panel (10) comprises: a base (18) for supporting the panel (10) on or against a generally flat or planar expanse of a structural frame, such as a floor or wall frame; a barrier layer (16) that substantially entirely covers the base (18) and provides a barrier to moisture; and an outer layer (14) that substantially entirely covers the barrier layer (16) and has or presents a functional, utilitarian and/or decorative outer surface for a wet area. An edge region (20) of the outer layer (14) and the barrier layer (16) projects beyond a peripheral edge of the base (18) along at least one side of the panel (10) to form a recess (22) below the projecting edge region (20), the recess (22) extending along the side of the panel. In this way, the panel (10) is configured to be joined or connected side-by-side with an adjacent panel along the edge region (20) and at the recess (22) to provide a continuous moisture barrier or waterproofing across the joined panels (10). The present invention provides a modular panel assembly for a wet area, also, and a kit for such a panel assembly that comprises a plurality of the panels (10). The invention furthermore provides a method of producing or fabricating the panels (10).
