To top it all off, there\u2019s no mortar and trowel. The joints already cut in the material simplify assembly of the panels, which is done by sliding the pieces together. The panels can also be assembled from any side. And they look like real tile!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The covering is made of PVC, it\u2019s waterproof and it\u2019s easy to clean with a damp cloth. It also retains its original colour. It can be used in all rooms of the house, even in places with high humidity like bathrooms, kitchens and garages. If you decide to use this type of wall covering in the shower however, a silicone seal is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Not only walls benefit from this covering: you can also install it on ceilings. This gives a totally different look, so you can create a more modern atmosphere. The material offers either the appearance of ceramic or of wood. The sky\u2019s the limit!<\/p>\n<p>With a minimum of time and effort, this type of covering can completely change a wall, giving it the desired appearance of ceramic tile. So there\u2019s no more reason to postpone an update.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_525\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-525\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/renovation_sec_juin_2013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-525   \" alt=\"renovation_sec_juin_2013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/renovation_sec_juin_2013.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/renovation_sec_juin_2013.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.viacapitalevendu.com\/blogue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/renovation_sec_juin_2013-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dumaplast.
