Why Bead Board in Bathroom?

Beadboard does not have to be installed simply as a wainscoting and nothing else. It can also be used to cover all the walls in the bathroom from floor to ceiling. This look works particularly well in bathrooms with low ceilings, because the vertical lines help to visually elongate the space.

What is beadboard used for?

A beadboard ceiling can be used to level out an uneven ceiling by adding shims. Although beadboard is typically thought of as a wall material, it's great for ceilings as well, and it's relatively inexpensive. By using tongue and groove beadboard, you can hide the nails for cottage feel with a seamless look.

Is beadboard moisture resistant?

Beadboard panels in a bathroom should be specially formulated for moisture resistance; for porches and other outdoor areas, you'll need exterior-grade fiberboard or PVC.
