Bathroom and bathroom tile alternatives
The most popular finishing material used for cladding bathrooms and toilets is ceramic tiles. And even though it comes in a wide variety of designs, shapes and colors, sometimes you want to try something more original. I am glad that today there are at least 5 alternatives to ceramic tiles..
1. Plastic panels
Plastic panels are a great alternative to ceramic tiles
This option is very practical and economical. Plastic panels are easy to install and maintain. They hide minor irregularities and defects on the walls. In addition, the panels are lightweight, durable and moisture resistant. The only thing is that the material is not natural, and can also crack from impacts and deform from high temperatures (for example, if a distance of 3-4 centimeters is not left between the panel and the battery).

The wallpaper in the bathroom looks really very unusual. They appear less often than other materials in the interiors of bathrooms. All because of prejudice that they are not waterproof enough. Fortunately, modern wallpaper makers make decent collections for damp rooms. Glass, acrylic and vinyl options are especially good. The main thing is to look at the icons on the packaging when buying. Moisture-resistant wallpaper has a three-wave mark. It is also important to prepare the walls, treat them with anti-fungal agents and work out the joints well..
