Bathroom flooring

[weasle]

We are having our house renovated and need to choose floor for family bathroom. It is a big room so will be lots of sq metres. Budget running out as work on house runs on...

I don't know what to put on floor. Tiles I think too cold. Don't want carpet. Considering cork tiles as quite eco, hard wearing and warm, but are they too 1970s?

Opinions please!

i will be ordering a wood effect vinyl tomorrow

Just be careful that it's not slippy with wet feet.

weasle - i can dig out and send you my sample of the 'dots' if you like. i liked it coz its kind of reminiscen of the rubber flooring, but cheaper, and soft/warmer too - bonus!

yes, it does need an installer... i would think. has to be glued down and you want to make sure the floor underneath is ready - flat and clean etc.

if you get the supplier to install, is easier to get them to replace if they cock it up (there was a thread on here about someone whos amtico floor had a bump under it and they had to replace the lot i think).

having said that, get a quote from the flooring suppliers for fitting and then get a quote from your own (trusted)person too and compare.

yes, tiles can be so slippy too

you want a nice lino

pointy - dont you worry that you have turned into your granny, when you say things like " you need a nice lino" LOL

and a little crocheted dolly to cover the loo roll

and a fluffy mat around the loo to catch the drips

yes, I was imagining myself saying 'you need a nice lino' a la les dawson housewife

tiles without underfloor heating are a nightmare. unless you like frostbitten toes.

Not with a decent radiator and heated towel rail in there
