For many years, bathroom decoration has been mainly done with tiles or plastic panels. This is due to the fact that these materials are better than others adapted for use in a room with high humidity. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that modern technologies can change the properties and technical characteristics of any finishing material. Thanks to this, alternative ways of finishing a complex room appear. Bathroom finishes are varied. Today we will get acquainted with some of them.
Finishing the bath: using natural wood
It's safe to say that a bathroom finished with a rail or wooden clapboard is extremely rare in our homes. But in Europe this material is used quite often. It has many advantages - it is a natural raw material that can create an individual and original style. One amazing aroma in such a room can drive you crazy. Woodunsuitable for use in rooms with high humidity and poor ventilation - it may soon begin to rot, mold bacteria will appear in it. It is for this reason that wood must be protected in the first place. For this, various antiseptic varnishes and impregnations based on polyurethane are used. It is necessary to process each element of finishing before installation.
Wallpaper bathtub
This is an unusual finishing method for such a room. You can use any type of fabric, except for textiles. The aggressive effect of moisture is neutralized with varnishes. You can use another method: first, the front side of the canvas is covered with a layer of ordinary PVA glue, which does not allow changing their color, and when the glue is completely dry, varnish can be applied in two or even three layers. And, of course, you need to take care of good ventilation of the room.
Bathtub decoration - artistic wall painting
This method allows you to emphasize the individuality of the owner of this room. This finish is quite expensive, but the result more than pays for all the costs. The possibilities of this method of wall and floor decoration are truly endless - it all depends on the ability of the artist.
Finishing the bathtub with linoleum for walls
We are sure that many have not even heard of such material. It is expensive, rarely used, so it cannot boast of popularity. The name "linoleum" is conditional. It is associated with the similarity of the material with the known flooring. In reality, linoleum for walls is thin panels made of synthetic material. It does not have a base, so this wall covering is not afraid of moisture. It has two serious drawbacks - a high price and the inability to purchase it in a regular store. The cover is made to order. But it makes it possible to create material with the coloring only you need.
Bathroom tiling is, of course, very common. Its choice in hardware stores is great, and the prices are quite affordable. But for those who want something new and original, consider alternative ways to finish the bath.
