Hello,

how did you finish the wall surfaces in your bathroom that are not tiled? Did you use wallpaper or a special plaster, smooth or textured? What is best suited for bathrooms?

Regards,
Sabine

We currently have fleece installed with a roll-on plaster on top. The fleece underneath allows for easy and quick reapplication if we decide we no longer like the plaster.

@Nordlys: The great thing about latex paint in the bathroom is that after a hot shower, the water beads up and runs off...

No fleece, no plaster.
Drywall panels directly primed and painted.

I discovered this combination of fiberglass and latex at friends’ homes in Denmark, where they almost always use it in kitchens and bathrooms instead of tiles, because they don’t really like tiles on the walls. Even public buildings, such as schools, use it there. It is very durable, cost-effective, and requires little filling because the thick fiberglass, known here as sto tex, conceals many surface irregularities. The fiber isn’t pasted but glued with a product like sto coll. So, it’s similar to a glued floor and not easy to remove. After letting it dry for 24 hours, it is then painted with latex or, since sto doesn’t have latex, we used sto opticryl in off-white. The finish is silky and slightly glossy. We treated the kitchen the same way, avoiding a tile backsplash; instead, we installed two laminate panels behind the sink and cooktop. Karsten
