Is There Waterproof Wallpaper? Everything You Need to Know | Adawall
When renovating your kitchen or bathroom, one question keeps coming up: Is waterproof wallpaper a real thing? And more importantly — is it actually effective in wet spaces?
The answer is yes — and at Adawall, we specialize in combining cutting-edge design with high-performance materials that stand up to moisture, splashes, and everyday use.
In this guide, we’ll explore what waterproof wallpaper really is, where you can use it, and why Adawall’s premium collections are the go-to choice for long-lasting style in high-humidity areas.
What Is Waterproof Wallpaper?
Waterproof wallpaper is a type of wall covering that resists water, humidity, and steam — typically made with vinyl or vinyl-coated materials. It’s often used in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and entryways where moisture is a concern.
Unlike traditional wallpaper, it won’t peel or bubble when exposed to dampness. Adawall’s advanced wallpapers are also scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and mold-resistant — ideal for any busy household or commercial space.
Best Types of Waterproof Wallpaper
Not all wallpapers are created equal. Here are the top materials used in waterproof wall coverings:
| Type | Moisture Resistance | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Wallpaper | Excellent | Bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms |
| Vinyl-Coated Paper | Good | Laundry areas, basements |
| Fiberglass Wallpaper | Excellent | Industrial or medical environments |
| Peel and Stick Vinyl | Moderate to High | DIY projects, renters, accent walls |
Adawall offers a wide variety of vinyl and vinyl-coated wallpapers, combining elegance with long-term performance in humid conditions.
Where Can You Use Waterproof Wallpaper?
With Adawall’s waterproof wallpaper, you can safely decorate areas previously avoided due to moisture.
1. Bathrooms
From powder rooms to full wet bathrooms, waterproof wallpaper is a smart solution. Adawall’s moisture-resistant collections are engineered to withstand steam and splashes — even near showers and sinks.
2. Kitchens
Perfect for backsplashes or around countertops, vinyl wallpaper resists grease, water, and stains. You can easily wipe it clean — no grout to scrub!
3. Laundry Rooms & Mudrooms
These high-humidity areas can benefit from waterproof wallpaper’s durability and washable finish.
4. Basements & Entryways
Basements are prone to moisture. Adawall wallpaper acts as a protective layer while transforming dull walls into vibrant focal points.
