I have a regular size guest bathroom.I want to use bamboo on the walls, will it mold?

Question

Will steam and water harm it? What else do I need to know about putting it on the walls? I want to do the top half of the wall with bamboo and white panelling on the bottom half and a flat wide bamboo chair railing to cover the seams of the two.

Answer 1

Are you putting in good exhaust fan in that bath room? If you are you still will need to seal the bamboo with a clear  coat of varnish. To make it water-proof. That ought to take care of it.

Sound very pretty

Answer 2

Would you consider a wallpaper with a bamboo photo finish?

Answer 3

I'd be a little worried about mold developing between the bamboo and the wall.It's proven that fecal chloroform which is the bacterium in bathrooms spreads rapidly through the air and there really is no way to properly kill it behind the bamboo
