[QUOTE="Gor, post: 887425, member: 49747"] Answer from Marmox: there are modern concrete finishes very popular abroad for wetrooms, these are suitable for Marmox board. Wedi has one smooth surface but I did not ask them about what paint is best. "I can understand why you don't want to tile that sloping ceiling but the Marmox board without any coating is generally not suitable as a finished surface, even if painted. Marmox boards have been installed and just painted (with masonry paint) before but only in areas where the appearance is unimportant such as in store rooms or workshops. Our board has a very deep texture so would look pretty unpleasant if just painted.....especially with waterproof sealant or tape between the joints. When not being tiled, our board is usually plastered with a light skim coating but plaster and showers are most definitely not compatible. One suggestion I would have is waterproof concrete. You would need to waterproof the board edges - not with waterproof tape but with our sealant, Marmox Multibond. Unlike silicone, Multibond does not shrink, crack and importantly, not stop things sticking to it, such as tile adhesive, plaster, paint or concrete. I mention concrete because instead of a plaster coating you could apply a concrete coating. In the UK, external waterproof concrete coatings or "renders" are popular but internal waterproof concrete coatings are not as common. In Asia, it is common to find wet rooms not tiled but finished with a smooth, polished waterproof concrete finish. Such materials: waterproof concrete, are available but you need to look a little harder to find one. We do not have any experience of these so I can't help you identify a suitable one. However, I can say that our Marmox board which has a concrete skin is an ideal base for a waterproof concrete finish." My other option is something like Altro Whiterock uPVC sheeting, but am not keen on having to glue this to Marmox boards. [/QUOTE]
