Hi, I'm not sure of your question, but if you're asking if wood can be used in lieu of tile in a wet location (like a shower or tub surround), I would say the answer is no. We used wood sparingly in this room simply as a backsplash in an oversized trough sink that's extra deep. This wood rarely gets wet given the design. I would not use wood in a "wet" location like a shower or tub surround. Good luck! Liz
