        "text": "The best materials for bathroom trim are water-resistant options like cellular PVC, polyurethane, or tile baseboards. While traditional wood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is common in living rooms, bathrooms have elevated moisture levels that can cause standard wood to swell, crack, or rot over time. PVC trim looks identical to painted wood once installed, but it is completely impervious to water and will not decay near wet floors or steamy showers. If you strongly prefer natural solid wood, choose a rot-resistant species like cedar, prime every cut end, and finish it with a water-resistant, semi-gloss or gloss enamel paint.",
