No it is some type of synthetic from the '70s. Like plastic-ish adjacent, all the old people knew exactly what it was when I got this place I can't remember.

Interesting, I know plastic tiles were fairly popular from the 50s-70s, but I’ve never heard of that being bad in the shower other than just cracking off like it does everywhere else too. I wonder what yours is?

Manufactured homes from the '70s is all I know

How have these survived on the wall for 50 years?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

We've wiped them down almost every time. I forgot once or twice for a number of hours. The main side wall was pockmarked when I moved in from being wet too much already though, but not to the point the water getting through yet.

But the humidity alone would destroy a non-waterproof material in a shower.

This doesn't make sense.

It will literally reach 100% humidity inside of your bathroom. That material doesn't need full contact to absorb water out of the air

Wiping it down after use retains it's composure.

If they've survived 50 years, I think it's time to thank them for their service and send them on their way.
