Hi All. I'm in the process of installing a glass quadrant shower enclosure and a question just popped into my head.
I'm planning to use an anaglypta paper and emulsion paint on the rest of the bathroom ceiling but I don't know if this is suitable for the area above the enclosure, or if there are any special products available. There will be about an 8" gap between the top of the glass panels and the ceiling.
Any advice would be much appreciated. |

| Not sure its a good idea papering above the shower unit, think you could create a few few future problems there with steam, think if customer asked myself I would advice against it, this is just my personal opinion maybe someone can give better advice |

So long as the papering is done right, and you use an eggshell paint rather than the emulsion, there should dont be any problems.
You might have experianced trouble with emulsion, as its quite permiable to water, hence the use of eggshell, there are plenty of water based ones out there.
