Tongue and Groove Panelling.

[snowy1974]

Have just stripped the bathroom for decorating and I want these wall panels put up along one wall.It's a tiny room but I want something to break up the paint and tone down the avocado bath suite which we can't afford to change.

Has anyone got these? Are they easy to put up? Do they stay up and are they easy to clean? Just a few questions :grin:

TIA

My dad was tongue and groove mad, he put the stuff everywhere. It's in mum's kitchen, living room, hall, toilet and bathroom (really!!) So yes, the stuff lasts, I'm not sure about how easy it is to put up (he swore at it a lot but he did put up lots of it!) and think it's ok to clean but dust can gather on it so mum hoovers it a lot. Think it'll be nice in your bathroom.

ive got it in my bathroom. it was here when we moved in though so don't know how easy/hard it is to put up!

its easy to clean though and looks lovely.

Thanks for your help :grin:

Well we went for it,have only put it along one wall but it looks great and it's still up 6 hrs later ::clap::

Gonna spend tomorrow varnishing it and painting the tiles in the bathroom.

Next question anyone painted tiles white? What colour is best to do the grout lines.If i do it white they aren't gonna show so it's a choice between silver and black?

My mam n dad painted their tiles white and they used pale blue for grouting to match the paint but out of black or silver id go for black for a smart contrast itms

What did you do with your tiles in the end Snowy and how did they turn out? Bathroom is next on my list after DH finishes the bedroom...or should I say when..lol!

I did paint them white in the end,haven't changed the colour of the grout cos the paint went on better than I expected and filled in the gaps.

They look ok alot cleaner than our old ones,even heard dh say that I was right :roll: .

Good luck with yours,what have you got planned?

I havent a clue what we are going to do yet, we were thinking of getting a corner bath but DH says if we do I wont be able to lay out and have a soak like I do in the one we have now! Im find up with our tiles so probably need re-tiling as well although not sure what sort I want there either..lol!
