Identifying Materials
I'm looking to mimic the bathroom in the image below. I would like to know if anyone can help identify the materials used for the wood and white marble walls? Is it simple paneling or tiling?
Thank you.

Seeing that the floor and walls are both integrated into the shower, I would be confident in saying that both are ceramic or porcelain tile. I wonder why they took the picture with a partially open door?

Wood looks like teak to me; fairly common in bathrooms and widely used in Scandinavian style.

Yeah, if you blow up the picture, it looks like the wall tiles were laid subway style.
I did a search for "large teak wall panels" and saw almost the exact panels in the picture, $25 per SF, veneer on 1/2" substrate. Of course shipping such a large item is another story, would have to go freight.

I'd bet money on it being 12x24 wood plank look ceramic/porcelain tiles. These larger format tiles are all the rage lately. They also require additional skill and a really stiff flat floor to install on.
As a shower floor, waterproofing is key, installing a real wood (teak) floor would require mechanical fasteners that would puncture any waterproofing membrane.

Teak Wood Wall Panels
I know nothing about this company, but the site checks good. They are offering samples (at cost)and the material appears to be high quality.
