Current trends in bathroom flooring?
What do you guys use for a bathroom floor nowadays? I'm tempted to remain
with the sanded wooden floors, and using oil-based polyurethane to seal it, making sure that I fill in the cracks etc. Thanks for any replies |

Ceramic or stone tiles are another. Basically almost anything apart from carpet. |

Good quality non-slip vinyls are also good, but not cheap. |

All the other options are too cold for me (unless you have UFH). |

Indeed, my carpets have been subject to a lot of diced-carrot related activities in recent weeks[1] I rent, otherwise I'd have junked the lot years ago in favour of some nice cushioned vinyl...

I'm tempted to remain with the sanded wooden floors, and using oil-based polyurethane to seal it, making sure that I fill in the cracks etc. Thanks for any replies There's no regulation which says you have to be trendy. Stay with what you like. We have cork tiles because it was easier than sanding and coating the floor but I'd have preferred the boards, we have them in the dining room and loft and it's lovely. Cork is warm and durable, surprisingly it stands up to stiletto heels better than the wooden floorboards. I don't wear stiletto heels anywhere but some visitors do ... Mary |

Indeed, my carpets have been subject to a lot of diced-carrot related activities in recent weeks[1] I've never understood this phenomenon. There seems to be diced carrot whether you've eaten any or not. ... and tomato skins. |
