Whats the best material for a bath panel cut to size from sheet.
hardboard
plywood
mdf
other?
Want something that wont 'soak up' the water and warp too much.


We have a large bath (1800mm long) and none of the very few panels we
found for it were any good - we wanted a panel that would go the full
width if the room (bath is 8" narrower than the bathroom and fits neatly
on the back wall!)

So I ended up with a couple of bits of MDF, primed and glossed and held
in with mirror screws... I'm not 100 happy with it and know of a local
(ish) place (Newton Abbot) who cut acrylic sheet to size - however, a
bit of 5mm sheet is going to cost us £70, so maybe not thin month. (FWIW:
Thats not farr off the price of a 1mm mounded plastic bath panel though)
