rubberised flooring
I am looking to source some rubberised flooring suitable for a bathroom.
The stuff that i have in mind has a 'dimple' in it about every 3 inches on centre. I have spotted some like this in a few places but it seems to be very expensive. Does anyone have any idea of where i could get some at a reasonable cost? Oh, it has to be cream-ish in colour! Thanks Gerry |

Thanks Gerry I came very close to putting a lot of this in last year in a shower room and even though it was not in the shower cubicle the manufacturers would not recommend it as it became very slippery when walked on if it got wet. Sort of defeats the object if you ask me! |

That is an industrial flooring and there is no such thing as industrial flooring at reasonable cost, unless you are comparing it to other industrial flooring. ISTR it usually comes in black grey red and blue, possibly green too. However, my experience of the tile version of this flooring is that it becomes slippery when wet, so it may not be a good choice for a bathroom. Colin Bignell |

I thought this would be good to fit in my last kitchen but the company that I was trying to buy it from talked me out of it. They said that it would always look crap cos it is designed for use in places where there is someone on a sit-on washer/vacuum machine going round cleaning it the whole time. In a kitchen, crud would settle between the dimples and be a PITA to keep clean Anna ~~ Anna Kettle, Suffolk, England |""""| ~ Lime plaster repairs / ^^ \ // Freehand modelling in lime: overmantels, pargeting etc |____| www.kettlenet.co.uk 01359 230642 |

ISTR it usually comes in black grey red and blue, possibly green too. However, my experience of the tile version of this flooring is that it becomes slippery when wet, so it may not be a good choice for a bathroom. It's excellent for a kitchen, though. We saw it in a kitchen on the Continent and decided to give it a try. More than 15 years later, ours has survived everything from routine trodden-in grit to a kamikaze can of white emulsion. It easily washes clean, and buffs up nicely when we occasionally get around to it. A bonus is that dropped glasses and crockery stand a fair chance of surviving. Contrary to what Anna was told, the surface definitely doesn't trap dirt - much less than the grouted gaps between tiles do. The tile edges are meant to be laid hard up against each other so the joins are self-sealing and practically invisible (for example, there weren't any gaps for that white emulsion to get into). We don't routinely walk around the wet kitchen floor in bare feet, but we haven't noticed that it's especially slippery when wet - again, no more than wet hard tiling would be. From our experience, we'd definitely use it again for a kitchen. -- Ian White Abingdon, England |
