Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Feb 20, 2011 9:25 pm Okay, I know I definitely don't want tiles in the bathroom or ensuite. I am thinking of having polished concrete.... has anyone done this in the wet areas? and also what could we use instead of tiles on the walls in the shower area/backsplash behind basin etc... well normally where you have tiles what could we have? Any pictures would be fantastic as well! Re: dont want tiles in bathroom/ensuite 2Feb 20, 2011 9:29 pm You could use glass, like a kitchen splashback.
