Bathroom cladding is especially suited to areas of the home with high moisture or humidity levels. A bathroom is normally the most humid room of the house as the steam from hot water causes excess moisture. Bathroom cladding is equally suited in other rooms of the house, for e.g. wet rooms, utility rooms or kitchens.

Bathroom cladding makes cleaning easier as it avoids the use of grout between tiles. Normally a quick wipe is all that is needed to keep a cladded bathroom clean. Bathroom cladding normally has a honeycombed structure, this helps to prevent heat loss and also acts as a noise insulator. These properties make bathroom cladding an ideal decor for any humid room. Unlike wall tiles of the ceramic variety, cladding remains warm to touch, this prevents the formation of condensation reducing mould growth.
