I'd like to line my shower with bamboo. Is this possible?

We have helped in designing and installing one custom bamboo-lined shower. That installation was made from 1.5" diameter half-rounds of Tonkin bamboo. It took the owner 13 months to get the building inspectors to approve the installation. Not being in the code, it spooks the
inspectors. There is the risk of losing a seal and having moisture and
mold getting behind the bamboo and into the hollow space behind. If you
want to do this I would recommend that you have us split the bamboo into
half rounds and fill it will closed cell architectural foam and trim the
foam flat. You may wish to do the ripping and foam injection yourself.
Then the half rounds can be installed against cement board (since
showers are a wet space) rather than drywall. The half rounds will have
to be installed with a latex rather than petroleum base adhesive. The
foam will be disolved by petroleum based adhesives. Latex industrial
adhesives are available in Home Depot and Lowes etc. The seams between
the half rounds should them be caulked with the finest quality and
smallest bead that the installer can manage. The bamboo has a natural
wax on the skin and will not take paint or varnishes. I recommend that
it be rewaxed with a good standard natural clear wax from time to time.
This should keep it free from mildew or at least easy to wipe clean.
This is a new application and we do not have much experience with it.
Proceed at your own risk.
