Bathroom wall paneling is a wall treatment that includes fitting prefabricated pieces of materials (panels) on the bathroom wall surface, so as to get a uniform look for the wall. Bathroom wall panels are a great substitute for conventional paint and tiles. Paint tends to peel and chip off after some time. Besides, it cannot withstand the extreme temperature, moisture and humidity in the bathroom. The problem with tiles is that the tile grout often serves as a thriving place for mold and mildew growth. This hampers the appearance of tiles and gives your bathroom a dirty and shabby appearance. Bathroom panels on the other hand are better manufactured to undergo all sorts of extreme conditions in the bathroom. Besides, they are easier to install and have no place for mold and mildew growth. They are much more durable that the other two options listed above.
Bathroom panels are available in an array of materials. PVC paneling is the most sought after bathroom paneling. It is extremely light in weight, durable, easier to install and comes in different styles and patterns. It is also resistant to mold and mildew growth and can withstand steam and heat. Besides, it is also non resistant to most bathroom cleaning agents such as bleaches etc. Another popular bathroom paneling material is wood. Wood paneling for walls looks absolutely elegant and rich and can instantly lift the mood of any bathroom. Besides, fine quality wood panels are also resistant to heat, moisture and steam.
