I'll be moving house soon. One of the houses I've looked at has some sort of PVC cladding on all of the bathroom and kitchen walls, as an alternative to tiling.
It doesn't look too bad, and I could certainly live with it for a while. I am a bit worried about how waterproof it might be though, around joins, fixings etc. Also, wouldn't condensation that might have formed on tiles if they were there, now maybe form unseen on the walls behind? Could the walls behind eventually become a permanently damp & mouldy mess, that I'd have no way of knowing about until they got into an awful condition?
Or am I worrying too much? As I say, I don't mind the look of the cladding, I just want to be sure it won't be slowly damaging the fabric of the house - Cheers.
