Bathroom wall covering materials

[grantgoold]

Looking to get some feedback and ideas for wall covering in the bathroom. I will have tin tile on the ceiling that has been specifically designed for the bathroom. We will be tiling the floor and shower area with small tiles and silicone grout.

What I would like to get are ideas for the walls. I am hesitant to put wood paneling that is found in the rest of the bus.

Your ideas would be most helpful.

Thanks

Grant,

I would tile our whole bathroom/shower if I could but our bus can't take the extra weight (no tag axle). So we have just decided to go with paint on the wall in ours.  Easy to put on, easy to change and easy to clean (cause you know it will get dirty.)

Laminate seems the obvious choice. Lightweight and very practical - not very classy to look at certainly, but acceptable in a bathroom.

Also, wood paneling isn't necessarily a problem, as long as it's hardwood and fully sealed.

   I chose Formica for my bath walls and kitchen backsplash since they are all ready plywood backed. Formica is impervious to moisture, cleans easily, holds up to use as any countertop typically does. Just took wife to bldg center and showed her all the choices and she picked a light neutral earth toned color. Glue and trim. Good Luck Gerry H

Looking at the options available and others suggestions, I used sheet vinyl flooring. Relatively easy install, suited my purpose and reasonably priced.  The mastic is designed for floors, so was kinda like spreading mayonnaise on the walls and ceiling, messy, but doable.   HTH  JIm

Went to Formica home page and looked at all the new colors and patterns. Look forward to receiving examples in the next week or so.

Thanks for all the input.
