Choose moisture-resistant materials. Paper Gypsum Board, PVC panels, and cement boards are great options for combating mold and mildew growth in humid bathrooms.

1. Gypsum Board

Gypsum board is inexpensive, lightweight, and water-resistant, making it a suitable product to use on your bathroom ceiling. They come in long, thin sheets that are easy to cut and shape, making them the perfect antidote to uneven and cracked ceilings.

If you install a ceiling above a shower stall or bathtub, gypsum is a good option because it resists mold and mildew growth. It also retains heat well and provides excellent sound insulation.

2. Cement board

If you want a bathroom ceiling material that resists water damage, cement board is a better choice than drywall. It handles moisture well and keeps its shape, even when it makes contact with water.

If you install tiles, cement board is a good material because it stops mold from taking hold even if water gets through. Cement board is more expensive than drywall, but the increased cost is well worth it.

Cement board is also suitable for use above the dampest areas in the bathroom, like the shower stall and bathtub. However, keep in mind that water passes straight through the cement board, so it is advisable to lay a plastic membrane down before installing.

3. PVC PANEL

Acrylic is increasing in popularity because it is inexpensive and comes in several colors, finishes, textures, and thicknesses. It is lightweight, easy to install, and easy to keep clean.

Acrylic also repels moisture and restricts mold growth, and when you need to perform a repair, it comes down in panels, so you only need to replace the damaged acrylic strip. The other plus with acrylic is you can embellish it with LED lights to create mood lighting.
