tileboard

Plastic wall sheeting

Tileboard is a type of hardboard panel with a glossy, water-resistant surface designed to mimic ceramic tile.

It's commonly used as an inexpensive alternative for bathroom and kitchen walls: We installed tileboard behind the sink instead of real tile.

The material comes in sheets, often with a grid pattern printed to simulate grout lines.
