Anyway, trying to decide whether to put down tiles or laminate boards in
bathroom.
Bathroom suite is about a year old but we couldn't afford to have the floor
done as well.
Up to now we have lino which is quite tatty.

The subfloor is chipboard (pre new regs). For laminate flooring presumably I
need the
"vapour barrier" sheet. I see that all the stores offer laminate suitable
for bathrooms, slightly
more expensive. It's a small floor area, about 1.5 sqm so cutting around the
fittings will take
a bit of extra work. Anything else I need to think of?

Tiling the floor isn't a popular option (wife & kids .....).

Thanks for hints and advice.

Thanks,
Klaus

Standard laminate boards are a total no-no. The edges of the laminate
will lift up in no time from water.
There is a laminate which looks like tiles once laid and claims to be
ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. I don't know how good this stuff is
and I suspect upon close inspection of the instructions it's more
likely splash-proof and you need to wipe up any spills ASAP. Probably
your best bet if you really want to avoid proper tiles.
