No professional bathroom fitter worth there salt fits UPVC cladding

It's really the lowest grade cheapest product fitted by the lazy and incompetent .

Because they think its maintenance free!

It discolours and still gets grime between the joints

But mainly as its cheap to buy and fix . Requires little skill or ability

Was wondering what you guys thought of this product for a bathroom wall?

It is not PVC, but is moulded acrylic.

It's a laminate board .

Wouldn't fit in my or so would push it on a customer

One of my friends who contracts for a nationwide bakery was fitting these in there shops . Having loads of trouble with the top finish cracking

Tiles every time . These laminate boards are £40 plus a sqm. You can buy top quality porcelain for that

It's an acrylic capped ABS. (Which I think is possibly Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).

About 2mm ABS and 1mm Acrylic coating. There's no wood backing though.

Is there any way to prevent mould from appearing between tiles? Is there a certain type of grout which helps to reduce mould from appearing?
