A few years ago we remodeled a bathroom and used wainscoting on the lower part of the walls, including below a hand-towel rail.
Now I see that that portion of the wainscoting is deteriorating, the result, I assume, of water dripping from wet hands and soaking through the finish into the underlying layer.
We'll replace that section of wainscoting, but is there any way of waterproofing it, or would it be best to relocate the towel rail, e.g., to the back of the door.?
