Q I hate grouting – are there any alternatives to tiles in my bathroom? Imogen, Sunderland
A Gemma Stockberger, from Versital, offers this suggestion… If you dislike the chore of cleaning grout in the bathroom, there are other easy and attractive options available instead of tiles. You could consider wall panels, for example, to create a smooth, sleek look in the room and eliminate the need to grout. They are easy to maintain too – simply wipe with a damp cloth to keep them clean and looking as good as new. As the panels can be fitted together without the need for big joins, dirt cannot become trapped in any gaps. This helps to keep the bathroom more hygienic and means there is no need for any time-consuming scrubbing jobs to remove grime.
