Remodeling bathroom in trailer?

Question

What's avalable for wall covering, I don't want to use wall paper or wood panel due to the humidity, & moisture. How about plastic panels or similar something that's easy to install & clean. Any good suggestions out there??? No tile either

Answer 1

They make some really pretty Masonite panels that have good, durable finishes.

Answer 2

With all due respect I happen to currently live in a mobile and have remodeled the entire inside. With Not much respect at all to some who answered, some of us, perhaps even those who answered this way, CANNOT afford the outrageous, over priced HOMES on the market today. If I had a half million dollars I wouldn't flush it into a mansion bathroom anyway.

Then, and hopefully with no offense to some others, since you state no tile, I'd wonder why you want something that LOOKS like tile but isn't???

I remodeled a bathroom in Montana about 4 years ago and did the entire thing in 1/8th plastic sheet 4 x 8 when purchased. I used a decent contracting adhesive, added vinyl molding top and bottom and the customer was pleased. The Vinyl sheet was easy to cut, and drill through for shower fixtures and the shower corners were caulked with white silcone, then vinyl molding was added to finish.

I advise against the coated masonite and/or melamine coated sheeting, because if it scratches it leaves a scar and needs patching.

Bathrooms, some as tiny as closets may only be of value because of its utility and may appear futile to the owner to consider designing it.

Color is a key factor and the use of colors can alter the mood of any room even make it look bigger; The bathroom is no different. One good idea suggests that bathroom be painted in light, cooler colors as bathroom is a wet room and water is the predominant element.

Use watery elements across the bathroom like clouds, or pattern of waves across the tiles and the ceiling. The light colors used in the bathroom design besides lending the cool feel can also make the room appear bigger. When using wallpapers in the bathroom, consider using patterns in shades of blue or green with patterns.

Another remodeling idea is changing the lighting, as it accentuates objects in the room.
For bathrooms it is advisable to have overhead or ceiling ambience lights which could optionally be fitted with dimness regulator. Also add spot or task lights on the mirror. Install bathroom mirrors opposite each other as it can do wonders to your bathroom. Combined with the right lighting, this arrangement can make a small bathroom appear spacious. Choose bathroom cabinets, bathroom vanities and bathroom countertops with shiny, reflective surfaces; Install a glass shower enclosure during the remodeling process or even install a full-length mirror inside or right outside your shower.

I concur with Steven W.'s suggestions and sentiments. I would add however, that since you're aware that your bathroom is a source of high humidity, be sure your exhaust fan is functioning. Because bathrooms are generally located one room down from the furnace, they get allot of air pressure, which in turn, forces the moisture into the wall and ceiling framing when the door is closed. Although the tiny exhaust fan isn't near as powerful as your furnace blower, if you run it for several minutes after you're done showering, it'll get rid of most of the moisture that was created.

Your best bet is to get milk house board. (the same stuff you usually find in public restrooms) Easy to clean and very inexpensive. You can find this kind of stuff at Mendards or Home Depot, and most local lumber yards.
