Hello everyone,

We are currently in the middle of planning our bathroom and are still undecided whether to use tiles or an alternative for the shower and walls.

The lady likes this gray plaster (see picture) quite a lot. I assume it is a kind of mineral plaster?

Does anyone have experience with it and can share some information regarding

- Maintenance?
- Costs?
- Installation compared to tiles?
- Durability?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards, Chris

An affordable alternative to tiles could be vinyl. It is now also suitable for wet rooms, and the area behind it still needs to be waterproofed anyway. Apart from that, tiles are not truly "watertight" either.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Tomorrow we'll go to the home improvement store to see what they have available.
