Right, me again. Which one of you ponces has a RUBBER FLOOR?

[SpringHeeledJack]

...you all came up good on poncetastic slate worktops

can you do the same for rubber floors?

am thinking they're a bit ethical and a bit nice. Am worried about dogs' toenails and overpowering smell, though. Would be for dining room and teeny tiny kitchen

can anyone help?

if I don't get back to you instanter it's because I'm packing my house and avoiding dead mice so back later

tia

I don't, but I think they are nice. Dont get nobbly rubber, all the nobbles get grimey around their bases. Top tip.

I do like the looky of the nobbly ones, but remember trying to drag metal chairs over them in Redcar library as a nipper

it was hard work

thanks for tip- have Noted It

Are you moving to Ponge?

no, a Quiet Bit of Lewisham

squeeeeeeee!

we will be walking to Blackheath fireworks on Saturday it will take fucking HOURS. I can barely contain self!

Me old stomping ground...

We used to have one in old flat - we only had it in (teeny tiny) bathroom and it didn't smell at all that I ever noticed. We had nobbles and they did, indeed, get grubby.

We don't have a rubber floor as such, but have rubber stairs (or, more accurately, rubber floorcovering on the stairs, although rubber stairs would be good) and it doesn't smell at all (the textured bits do get grubby and have to be enthusiastically scrubbed, though).

Had woven recycled rubber tyres, as flooring in both bathrooms. Looked like hessian, was available in a few different colours.

Loved it because it was warm under foot, could be hoovered, mopped, totally wet through, but the water didn't get to the floorboards.

Would love it in now, in our new house, bathrooms all have carpet.

Think it was about £60 sq m, 7 years ago, from the Unnatural Flooring Company.

Is that the kind of poncetastic answer you were after?

Just looked at their ^ website, says they have provided flooring for Le Manoir Aux Quatre Saisons.

Oh, and SAGA cruise ships.

Got a rubber floor with knobs on in kitchen. It's grey and looks filthy a couple of hours after mopping

hth

Fancy pants rubber flooring

Rubber floors make me think of bathrooms and schools (sorry) but am sure will be nice in a small space.

thanks all

that's the fancy pants stuff I've been looking at, Witch. Yes, with nobbles

tho it now looks like I'll have to get flat stuff as we're not the cleanest family in south London but am worried will look hospitally

will check your tyres out, Eggy- it sounds great

and bibbity it rhymes with Babybel. A bit.

[well cryptic innit]

Ah, tis lovely there! If we had had two dds instead of dd then ds we would have moved there for the school. You have a near neighbour on this very forum you know, with a user name based on her/your manor. Seems a good egg.

I am having my kitchen done atm. Tis bamboozling to have to make so many decisions all the time isn't it?

ooh, of course! I can't quite remember her name- apart from the obv bit. I shall no doubt remember later and stalk her 'cross the boards

and speak not of kitchens, Bib. We have a tiny empty room in new place. And a mini cooker from Argos

still. Good practice for Old Age.

I bought my aubergine knobbly rubber flooring from the rubber flooring company for my holiday let bathroom. As my house keeper says you can swing a cow in this bathroom and we needed easy to lay bright coloured flooring that was no slip so this was the cheapest answer. I love it I got a fab aubergine blind, have pearlised mermaid board instead of tills, with magnolia walls and white suite all looks really stylish, but economical and easy to clean. The Visit Britain man gave my Bathroom 4 Stars.

yes, but how do you stop the nobbly bits from getting grubby?

maybe it's better for bathrooms than kitchens

hmmm

I have an aubergine sample, came in the post today. I am half in love with it already

The fancy pants link 1st box, last option is smooth.

hmmm

I did see that, Woo, but am not convinced it won't make kitchen look like a horspital

specially if I got a blue one

gah

I loves the nobbles, I does

We've got nobbly rubber flooring (dark grey). The nobbly bits dont get grimy around the edges - I find I get a better clean if I get on my hands and knees and use a cloth. Much better than using a mop.

I think ours is from the rubber flooring company.

And it is bloody slippery if there's water on it (eg 2 year old DS splashes everywhere).

ooh Boiledegg can you imagine what goes on on Saga cruise ships that warrents easy clean rubber flooring?

What goes on on the Saga cruise ............stays on the saga cruise

The nobbly bobbly stuff looks fab, but I bet it would be a bugger to clean!

I would love to get rubber flooring to replace the laminate (oh why did we listen to FIL?) but my eyes nearly popped out at the cost on behalf of DH who is a skinflint careful with the money.

Actually, I want a whole new kitchen. Well cupboards/doors and worktops at least. No chance of that unless the whole place goes up in flames.....

Try Dalsoupe or Nora rubber flooring (I don't know if they sell directly to domestic customers but you should be able to get a supplier contact from their websites) huge ranges of colours and styles

I have the fancy pants with knobs in the kitchen and smooth in the bathroom.

Nightmare to keep both looking good to be honest but knobs def harder. I gave up on the polish that came with it and use klear from pledge to keep them shiny. As annoying as they are I love it and would def get again.
