Hardwood floors in bathrooms

snipped a lot of interesting stuff Acrylic is not recommended for bathrooms, so were you to use wood, then a polyurethane would be needed. However, if you don't have small kids and you use a reasonably absorbent bath mat, I see no reason not to use a hardwood floor in a bathroom. There will be a certain amount of movement across the width of the boards with humidity change, so don't expect a tightly butted appearance all the time. I am looking at flooring for my bathroom too and in John Lewis at High Wycombe there's a nice selection of hardwoods, laminates, cheapy click stuff, Amtico and even old fashioned lino. The man there said he would not recommend any type of timber flooring in a bathroom and would not even quote for laying it. So I 'm looking at Amtico at present - I agree with you about the plasticky look :o( Peter |

Eventually decided on carpet so I don't have actual experience. Rod |
