You have many options with the PVC boards. You can paint them whatever color suits you, or leave them unpainted. If you paint you can use a couple of colors that blend together. Once you are ready to put them up you can cut them all the same length or different lengths. Then you can either nail them or glue them with a construction adhesive such as Liquid Nails. If you go with the nails you can fill the holes with wood putty and paint over them with the exact color you used on the boards. Perhaps the best part of the whole concept is if you get tired of the color in a couple of years you can easily repaint.
Hi Diana, for sure, you can use this! They are the ideal alternative to traditional, ceramic or composite bathroom wall tiles as PVC is cheaper, more durable, and easier to install. PVC wall panels also have a wide range of applications, including kitchen splashbacks or when creating a tile effect on an interior wall in your home.
Attach just like you would a regular bead board, liquid nails would work well for attaching. Send us a project when you do this.
