If you are planning to build a new bathroom or if you need to renovate an existing one, your project will have to start from the choice of the wall coating. Being one of the most exploited environments of the house, the bathroom must be made with style and also thanks to the use of materials that can guarantee quality and durability. This is why the phase of identifying the range of coatings that fit your needs requires particular attention and care, especially in the evaluation of materials and design.

Recommendations not to be underestimated: how to choose a wall covering for the bathroom?

When choosing the wall coverings for the bathroom, it is always advisable to evaluate a number of elements:

• The materials with which the coatings are produced;
• Moisture resistance levels;
• The ease in cleaning;
• The ability to support (without damage) a shelf, a mirror, a piece of furniture, etc .;
• The hardness of the material, the resistance to wear and the ability to resist scratches, bumps, etc.

What about the height of the bathroom wall coating?

There is no right height. Instead there are your needs – aesthetic and personal – and the right balance, characteristic of a relaxation area where you can forget the chaotic daily life.

If you need to choose a wall coating to be installed up to the junction with the ceiling, the expense will obviously be greater than the one for a height of up to 130-150 cm from the floor.

On the other hand, the wall covering in the shower or tub area must have a minimum height of 2 meters, reach the door height or arrive up to the ceiling, to protect the walls from mold and moisture.

Types of coatings for the bathroom

In order to make the right choice, you should also know that you have more than one possibility. The first is represented by the tiles that, in the last decades, have undergone a positive evolution in terms of style, but also in terms of patterns and colours. They can be enamelled or unglazed and are generally made of ceramics. From tile to tile, clearly, the composition changes, affecting resistance to moisture, wear, etc.

For the wall coating of the bathroom we can even choose porcelain stoneware, which is the result of processing raw materials such as clays, ceramics, feldspar, kaolins and sand. Sold in tiles of different sizes and shapes, it allows you to build different games of geometries and shades, or a coating with a homogeneous character. This type of bathroom coating is extremely compact, durable, does not absorb water and can be easily cleaned.

Other possibilities include the mosaic with ceramic tiles, but also marble and stone coatings. These latter are suitable for those who want to turn their bathroom into a real SPA-style relaxation area. We recommend, however, to limit the stone to a single wall of the bathroom, so that the environment is not weighed down (especially if it is a very small room).
