Azek In Wet Area Of Shower

wheeler

Anyone used Azek in the wet area of a shower? Any success? Talked with Azek at the IBC this year and they were just pushing product. Our concern is shrinkage and keeping the stuff clean.

I would have the same concerns,like mildew and mold.
What kind of application are you thinkin of in the shower area?

42" beadboard wainscot with 7-1/2 flat stock base and chair molding cap. Its a large master bathroom with this same detail terminating at what are designed as masonry borders to the shower. Owner wants to carry the wainscot detail through the shower.

Looking at a product called "Nantucket Beadboard" which comes in PVC panels with the 2-1/2" rounded bead. Don't have a detail for fastening in a wet area. Conventionally, were this say a porch or something that is exposed to elements, we could trim it out to account for shrinkage and no one would be the wiser.

In this case I can see building the system water tight short term but not with shrinkage, not for long hall. I'm happy to give these folks what they want but not if its going to be a problem in the future, even if its outside the warranty period.

We used Azek as jambs entering shower with shower door frame centered on jambs. That left 1/2 the Azek jamb in the shower. So far no customer complaints. Installed Jan 2008.

it would certainly mildew and be hard to clean in that enviroment

Never heard of using Azek in shower, What about wall tile, that would look similar to a beadboard look... Not sure it is possible, but i would think tile would be the best option

My parents have an outdoor shower at their beach house, and I did the inside of it with Azek, walls and trim.

My mom buys a lot of bleach

I agree with you, I never heard anyone using Azek in the shower, that thought would never even cross my mind.
