OK the brand I was thinking of for FPR Panels was Marlite (www.marlite.com)

BUt again, would be a little more expensive than other items. It also depends on how big the room is too. You could also look at puck baord (also pretty pricey)

another thing that would be good... thousands of design and colors to chose from.. high pressure lamanant, or arborite.

I could maybe be convinced to transport them . . . for frags.

(It would have to be the 8' ones, though).

How would one install the high pressure laminate on walls? I can't find the installation guide.

Went with the FRP, perfect for the job and pretty easy to work with. Not too expensive either, around $350 all said and done to cover walls and ceiling in a room approximately 5' x 5'.

Big thanks to Shelley for her help!

I'll post pictures in my build thread once I finish up all the new plumbing and electrical.

No. Thank you! It was very nice to meet you and your lovely wife, I got to go for a nice little drive outside the city (my little guy even napped in the truck on the way home!), and I was generously rewardeded with frags and fuel funds.

Next time you would like assistance with something there should be a stampede to your door.

I do look forward to seeing photos when the room is done. It is interesting product that you picked up and I'd like to see how it turns out.
