What wall covering to use ?

[welshti]

What do users suggest for wall covering, its for the bathroom although shower is seperatly enclosed and probably wont be used anyway. Vinyl paper or another washable paper ? Should i pva the orginal covering or peel the covering off which leaves the backing paper to paper to ? and what paste would i use. many thanks all

The original wallboard was not a wallpaper finished item, it is a foil laminate bonded on during manufacture.

You may be able to get a close matching wallboard from Magnum Motorhomes.

Thankyou Damian, that site may come in very useful

As i have already repaired the affected area with 3.6mm ply i was going to cover the ply and the other wall with a suitable covering. ?

When I re-built our previous van, I just did a quick search on Ebay for Vinyl wallpaper and chose one that looked about right. The match was fantastic!

I applied an initial coat of PVA and let it dry, then covered again and laid the paper on.

Thanks adam

I covered the ply boards with pva and let dry before fitting, I have since covered with lining paper using pva glue ready for when I see a vinyl that suits or I like.

Finally got around to completing the whole bathroom. All the units came out so i could replace the water damaged section of wall board and battern behind the toilet and in the wardrobe. Then the task of putting it all back together.

Very well done, that is a great job you have done and looks brilliant.
I know a few manufacturers who could benefit from your attention to detail !!!!!
