Rubber flooring
We are about to buy a new (for us) house with carpet in the bathroom
and laminate in the kitchen. SWMBO has decided that the bathroom carpet shall be replaced with a rubber floor, and is strongly inclined to do the same in the kitchen. Recommendations, horror stories, fitting tips would all be welcomed. The current plan is for a solid sheet (rather than tiles) in the bathroom, and I fear that fitting that is beyond my DIY skills. We might go for tiles in the kitchen, which I feel comfortable about laying. Any thoughts? |

You probably don't mean real rubber either...likely a butyl rather than vinyl sheet. |
