Just wondered what everyone's thoughts were on this?
I'm looking at either white tiles or some form of plastic paneling like Seratone or Alulite for the walls of a bathroom.
Tiles downside:
Cold to touch and as such they tend to condense moisture on their surface moreso than plastic - my wife tells me she prefers the plastic [Seratone] we had in our old property as the walls never got moisture so never needed wiping and cleaning
Need grouting requiring some maintenance
More labour to install
Heavy
Tiles upside
More tradies able to install
Harder wearing than plastic
Easy to replace if one tile gets damaged [if white colour]
Plastic Laminate downside:
Less tradies familiar with install
Some product types such as Seratone are expensive ex $240 per sheet 2.4M X 1.2M
Plastic upside:
Condenses moisture less on surfaceWarm to touch
Less joins
Less labour intensiveCan be used on ceiling toEasier to drill into if needing to add accessory or cut for new pipes etcMaintenance free
Right now I'm keener on the plastic but what are anyone's recommendations? Can you simply use sheets of "PVC shower liner" or a product called Alulite which these chaps in Penrose sells sheets of:
