Bathroom panelling
Where can I buy wood effect panelling for a bathroom? I don't want real wood, I want it to be waterproof. Is this possible? Is it possible to paint it?

You dont see it it that often these days but personally I like panelling in a bathroom.
Good luck.A B

Good luck

We think it is lovely and so does anyone who sees it. The panelling is all round except when it comes to the shower cabinet were we have put wallboards, no grouting anywhere. It's certainly a different look to tiles, room feels warm and cosy. I would say do it, you won't regret it.Sonia
5 år sedanHi, I love panelling in all its forms. Wonderful in period homes especially. I would try builders merchants like Jewson etc and DIY stores. Paint it in eggshell or satinwood paint for extra durability.V.I.P Walls Interior Specialist

It’s not particularly trendy perhaps, which I regard as a good thing!
It‘s classic as opposed to a fad.

5 år sedanHi Jen. Mine is panelled floor to ceiling albeit in a different style. The moisture resistant MDF is just that, its MR and it's splash proof but you couldn't have water constantly running against it as it's still prone to swelling etc as far as I'm aware. Mine is actually fine around around the bath, despite me constantly dropping the shower head and spraying the walls, although I have had a couple of expansion gaps appear elsewhere tbh. I opted for F&B water based so don't know if LG oil would have been better or it could just have been my painting!

We do, however, only use the shower fitment for rinsing hair occasionally, and bath after use, as we have a separate shower. I, too, wanted a softer look than tiles.jack_harper929
