Bathroom wall question

[jps71]

Hi Guys

Hope this is in the right section.
I have 2 bathrooms where I have to decorate the walls and cover the floors.

THe only thing we have found so far we like is some vinyl flooring and I got to thinking is it possible to not only put vinyl flooring on the floors but also to put it on the walls.


Has any one done this?
Would it work or cause problems.
If it is possible to do this what adhesive would be best to fasten the vinyl flooring to the walls.

Hope some one can help

Cheers Jim

Never done it but can't see any problem with doing that.
Use a suitable flooring adhesive like this http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=A336110&ts=49401&id=69337
Make sure your walls are flat and smooth.
Roll the surface of the vinyl to ensure that it's properly stuck down.
Run a bead of silicone down any joints.

Thanks gcol.

I thought it sounded feasable

You might have a problem with repairs. If you rip it by mistake the repair could look ugly. If in 5 years you get fed up with the surface, how hard will it be to remove?

You gotta think of all these things, but if you still want to go ahead then like has been said, make sure the walls are in a smooth condition, you might want to go over the walls with a wall sealer first.
