Justin I don't know what to say! this is brilliant!! I'm 70 years old and I have to put in a kitchen a bathroom and drywall and entire house. I have looked at absolutely hundreds of ideas including sheet plastic but I just never thought of this. I'm amazed at how stupid I can be. First off, this looks awesome. This is probably in my opinion one of the best ways to cover your bathroom walls. I swear to God all the other methods including tiles that are made out of multiple layers which include plywood and pressboard! It just looks to be more problems than it's worth. I think the only reason the industry doesn't promote what you're doing here is because of how cheap it is. I don't understand why people haven't been doing this right along. There are so many different patterns that you could pick, it's like wallpaper. Thanks again, thank you so much excellent video. I'm going to do this in my bathroom on all four walls to the ceiling. For the floor I'm going to put small tile. It's going to look awesome!! Again this is a brilliant Revelation for me😂
Again thank you so much I'm almost embarrassed that I didn't even think of doing this. I did think of using vinyl floor tile, but thought if I was going to do that I would probably just use tile. I started out wanting to use tile. I've got a small bathroom so I could probably get something nice for relatively cheap. Although relatively cheap these days can still be expensive.😂 You did a great job this looks awesome, I can't wait to get on my bathroom now that I finally decided what I'm going to do. And I'll be able to afford it!!
We'll certainly thinking outside the box!! Looks damn good, vinyl is durable, easy to clean... Certainly a homeowner Diy, inexpensive project!!! How is it holding up with the caulking in the corners and at the bottom?
Everything is watertight, thanks. Can't imagine where water could get through. The ceiling in my basement is wide open so I would definitely be able to see if water was coming through.
I get being frugal and creative but big tiles can be had for less than $2 a square ft. I got a bunch of concrete backer boards for free on FB Marketplace. Tiling walls is not difficult at all. 2 days tops.
I know what you're talking about and I've gone this route that you're speaking about. But it can be hit or miss. You can spend a lot of time traveling especially if you live in the boonies like I do. You got lucky with getting the back aboard for free. This is considerably easier than doing tile,it looks great it's probably as watertight or better. I agree and I would put tile in if I had a little more money. Doesn't do you any good to buy $2 tiles if you don't have enough of them. I've got a bathroom that's 6 ft x 7 ft and I'm tiling or covering all four walls and the floor. What he has done here you could do in a couple of hours. I've done enough tile to know what it entails. And I agree it's not that difficult. But you got to admit this looks awesome and it's probably going to be as watertight or better than any tile job.
Great question .. 1) I can see applying wallpaper through a corner but this product is thicker and meant for planar installation (floors); and not necessarily meant to be permanently forced into a SHARP 90 degree bend/fold/crease. I would be nervous about stressing the material on the front and/or back. But, not a crazy idea, especially if you get a thinner version--closer to 1mm instead of 3? Of course the idea of continuous material through the corners is appealing. 2) It was tricky enough getting the large, 60-inch, back wall piece (33sf of adhesive and material) up and perfectly positioned in a timely manner. I cannot imagine attempting this with a 124-inch piece (about 68sf) and ending up with perfect placement on all 3 walls--even with an assistant. 3) If you care about trapped air pockets, these could be more likely, numerous, and difficult to roll out with a piece that large--depending on your application method. It's nice to have nearby edges/seams where air can escape. I'm confident with silicone in the corners, and the tape method worked great for applying it.

Nice idea. I'm getting ready to do an outhouse type toilet and shower for some friends. Love the vinyl sheeting idea. Gonna do it!

Tile pros must be cringing!!!!

This vinyl wall can be a lot easier to clean than tile.
Why not use a single piece to avoid seems in the corners?
Great question ..

Those are all good points. Thanks for the response.
