Bathroom - tiles or cladding
"Peter Ramm" wrote in message ... I'm giving the bathroom a sort out and have removed all of the existing tiles off two of the walls - intending to retile with new. SWMBO has just seen in a bathroom catalogue a bathroom which has half-height - what looks like - tongue and groove painted cladding. I'm thinking (or under pressure) of doing same. I guess I would just put up say three horizontal battens on each wall and then the t&g. BUT one of the walls will have new loo and sink on it - so some of t&g will abut them. Also the walls are now quite uneven having knocked of old tiles - OK putting on new ones; but how best to ensure battens are true on the uneven wall. I've never used this - any experiences or views? -- Pete Ramm LID Stamp out Spam - See my anti-spam pages: http://www.spamfreezone.org Take a look at this site http://www.dumaplast.be/index.html I am planning using this product when I put in a new bathroom suite instead of re-tiling. |

I wrote a piece on it here several months back, try googling for it, with all the downsides over tiling. NT |
