Wall covering considerations for jacuzzi room

[Hounddog]

I'm lookin for ideas for an interior wall panel to cover the interior of my new Jacuzzi room.... Overall finish/look of the future wall to be a clean look... I was thinking a stucco finish hardie board but would like to limit my selection to a 1/2 thick panel as to not require to extend jambs on doors and windows. I veered away from the hardie because while there's two pre-existing (formerly exterior walls, OSB) that could take a panel as they are...my two new walls would need OSB then the hardie...that would probably have me at another 1/4 or 3/8 (additional wall depth). SOOoooo, is there a grade of something like T1-11 or similar that is of a "finer grade" ... I'm looking for a product to paint and without the typical 'voids' you can find in todays wood products. Dang lumber ***** these days.

decisions....decisions

Do you mean something like the Ply-Bead siding that Home Depot carries?
I used them for the interior walls of my garage and they painted up pretty nicely.

So total thickness ( I once knew a girl with this name) is 1/2" max? Mirrors baby! It is a Jacuzzi room!

Keep in mind you can also do a sheetrock edging for a few inches and frame out any additional material of your choice with some sort of molding.

These guys have some really nice stuff. Sequentia looks like a good product.

Not sure I'm following. Do you need OSB for structure/sheathing requirements? On an interior wall?

If so I'm pretty sure LP makes a T1-11 like cement board product that is structural sheathing at its thicker size. I don't know off hand if that thicker size is ~1/2" or not.

Likewise, there is Zip wall sheathing that can be coated directly with either traditional or polymer type stucco coatings. Maybe skim coated and painted as well. Again, not sure if it comes in 1/2" thicknesses.

There is also Kerdi board that is used as a tile backer in steam showers. I'm pretty sure it's a complete vapor barrier with just a skim coat of thin set.

But it's not structural if that's what you need. But it is 1/2".

Home Depot offers two that seem nice....smart side vs dura temp

Mirrors - and lots of them.

Just ask the T-man.

I mentioned the OSB because I'd opt to install the Hardie over OSB vs the hardie on it's own, and nailed to the studs...It could work fine. So brittle...I get tired of fussing with it. and I'd like a lap joint if I can..

FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) panels are about 1/8" thick. They are tough enough for Gas Station restrooms and commercial kitchens.

Funny you mention FRP...I just did a FRP top for a shower... Tough stuff....but don't believe that's the look were going for.
