Mounting for Bathroom

My wife likes my images, and wants one for her new bathroom design. Anyone know how to mount an image for very high humidity and wildly varying temperature and light levels?

Take the picture when the water is not running, simple as that.
As to humidity, a bathroom is not 'humid' just wet, this what those noisy exhaust fans are for.

Laminate it. I've had a photo in my bathroom in a frame under regular glass for a couple of years with no problem.

What about printing your image on metal?

I have four framed photos in my bathroom, they have been there for years. No special treatment at all, the photos are dry mounted to foam core and framed with white matt board. They have not suffered from the humidity.

Have it dry mounted - either with a heat press or self-adhesive gatorboard, and stick it in a frame with a backing. This should minimize the temperature and humidity swings. Yes, the RH can reach saturation point - especially if you have poor ventilation and like long hot showers.

Unless it's a public bathhouse, it shouldn't be a problem.

Alas, yes, we love long hot showers, and the ventilation is moderate, so that drips on the mirrors are routine, and drips on the walls are not unheard of.

Sublimated aluminum print, for the very best. Acrylic works too.
