Advice on bathroom flooring - tiles/quickstep?

[frazzeled]

We are about to redo our family bathroom - and am having a flooring dilemma! I though we would tile - but really like the look of the wood quickstep, that says they now do one suitable for bathrooms.

We can't afford underfloor heating - will tiles be cold? Is quickstep actually waterproof? Best looking/lasting? Any advice gratefully received!

Thank you

Don't do tiles; we did and hate em now. Slippy and cold.

I have proper floor tiles in our ensuite bathroom from Porcelanosa. Could be slippery if wet but I use a bath mat!!! Or a small towel if need be on the floor. Quickstep will be slippery if wet too. I have walnut engineered wood and engineered oak in 2 bathrooms and limestone tiles in 2 more. None of these have underfloor heating but the Porcelanosa tiled bathroom does. There is a difference in that one has a warm floor and the others don't but they don't feel cold and are still lovely bathrooms. Whatever you do, make sure you heat the bathroom properly and don't cover up your radiator with towels. Use a big bathmat and then the floor won't feel cold and take care about splashing excessive water. If you go for tiles, go for large format with minimal grout. Much nicer finish in my view.

I'm obviously not as posh as you, MMM! Or as intelligent as I wouldn't have thought of putting a bath mat down on a cold slippery floor.

OF COURSE MY TILES ARE'PROPER'!

Thank you both!!

Lettuce - sloppy was my concern with tiles - even with a bath mat small people tend to get water everywhere and then slip.

Milly - Has the wood fared ok in bathrooms? Are they ones that are used heavily or occasional use? We only have the one bathroom so it's going to get a hammering from allot of small children.
