Alternative to tile in shower

10 years ago

I'm look for alternative to tile in shower and possibly kitchen back splash.
I like to look of tile in the shower, but the grout is impossible to keep clean.
I like to the looks of Sentrel wall boards, I can't find any reviews on it on the
internet. Does anyone have any experience with it? or any other alternative
to tile?

We considered alternatives because of the grout issues but I really wanted tile. We are assured by everyone that there are newer grouts that will not get dirty or moldy. I think the one our tile guy uses is called flex color? Someone else can probably give you more info. But talk to your tile store and/or installer before giving up on grout.

I've had great success with Tilex. Really keeps the mold/mildew at bay if you use it once a week.
