Vinyl on top of concrete floor

[teabaseddiet]

We need new flooring for our bathroom. It's downstairs, concrete floor & currently has really thin, cheap flooring.

I thought about thick vinyl or vinyl tiles - would things be warmer under foot? Is there anything else that may be better?

I have vinly on my downstairs toilet floor which is concrete underneath. I find it warm enough

Thanks! It's quite a cold room (no radiator) so I'm trying to make it as warm as possible

I have acoustic underlay under my vinyl floor. My flat has concrete floors. Perhaps there is an insulating underlay available?

I used to have vinyl on my kitchen floor - concrete underneath. It was warm underfoot and the main reason I didn't get a tiled floor when I replaced it. I was used to warm feet!

We have vinyl from the roll in our kitchen-it looks convincingly like polished concrete, is bombproof, and is warm enough under foot. Floor is a mix of floorboard and concrete with a layer of ply fixed over the top to level it-the ply helps to insulate, too. We were advised not to use anything like underlay as the cushioning makes the vinyl more likely to pick up pressure marks, and makes it feel cheaper-as is it’s pleasingly solid

Yes you can but you will need to make sure the the concrete is very flat and clean as possible first. Planks or tiles will work better than a sheet as the sheets tend to be much thinner

What's the name of your flooring please? It sounds exactly like what I'm looking for, for my kitchen.

Polyflor do a lot of good flooring.
