install a dehumidifier to remove the humidity<\/a> from the room constantly. This is a tactic used in basements (I have one), and it can be set to a specific humidity level before it turns on automatically.<\/p>\nCost<\/h2>\n Okay, so this one is minor compared to the problems mentioned above, but cost should be a consideration. Yes, wainscoting can make a room look brighter and refreshing, but is it worth the cost? For the materials only, you’re looking between $7-$40 a square foot.<\/p>\n
Wainscoting, as mentioned before, was originally used to protect the walls. There is nothing in the bathroom that can damage a wall for the wainscot to be a proper protective barrier. In fact, it can be the cause of damage to the wall. Tile costs between $1-$20 (on average) per square foot, and will be much better in the humid environment.<\/p>\n

On top of that, is the cost of the mildew-resistant paint. Also, if damage is done to the wall, you’ll have additional costs to repair and replace it. Sometimes, removing the wainscot is not enough. Sometimes, the mold has penetrated the drywall or the wood framing beneath, which racks up costs very quickly.<\/p>\n
