I hate cleaning the shower!!! It takes forever to clean the grout and is such a pain so when we renovated our bathroom we looked at other alternatives and decided to go with ceramalite panels which are I guess like a laminate panel and they have been nothing but trouble!! Now I wish that I had stuck with tiles and would def go back to cleaning tiles if given the option! I also think a dark tile in the bathroom looks great and I would advise to go with tiles because as much as they are a pain to clean, you don't want the alternative! Hope this helps a little if you are still unsure or deciding what to do! Bek Bek I'm back Re: Shower tiled or ? 13May 18, 2010 10:26 pm Acrylic wall sheets work great!

Marbletrend has acrylic walls, however, I wouldn't get the one with the moulded soap holder, looks like trouble. Make sure you get acrylic walls that are PVC capped acrylic, I used some cheap walls from a major green home ware centre, it wasn't suitable for wet areas.
