Installing Lino flooring

NSG666

I used Quick step livyn click vinyl (I think they have dropped the livyn name). I note the web site says it's water resistant but you could put it in a bucket of water and it would not be affected. As it clicks together I guess water could get through the joints if left long enough but we wipe up any water that drops off us or gets spilled on it. As my chipboard floor had been chopped about a bit I put ply over first but looking at your floor it could go straight onto it. There is an underlay available but I've never used it. There's also a glue down version that I've not used. Tile Giant used to have it on display. It's fairly rigid but can be cut with a knife.

Other brands offer similar products e.g. Karndene

I recently laid vinyl for DD in her bathroom and used 5mm underlay panels which made the floor feel warmer and much nicer to walk on and covered small cracks in the floor.

Get as much done as you can, bath, tiling etc before laying the flooring to minimise the chance of it getting damaged. But do put the w/c and basin on top as planned. There will be sufficient space to the bath legs for it to run under enough.

If you are confident it won't get damaged then ok to fit before the bath just not my choice.

I think that’s best. Taps are turning up today so the plumber can do the bath.
All has to be done in stages and takes time to know what to do first.
A lot of it will be painted so after bath then tiles for bath/shower area, it’s a case of laying floor, add other units, tile around them then paint.

The units need to be in to tile that area and the floor needs to be down first for them to sit on top. 
Means that painting will have to be last which isn’t ideal but I’ll just have to take care with the floor. Unless there’s some splash panels that go on top of paint.

I know you said about tiling or similar above the bath, is the other bit just a splash-back for the basin?

A dust sheet will protect the floor from paint and you could paint the skirting prior to fitting if your cutting in is a bit crap like mine. It's more about being careful with the heavy stuff like the w/c etc which is why I prefer to fit the bath first as it's one less thing to damage the flooring. I know you are fitting the bath first.

Yes, I think so.
Just doing as much tiling/panelling as necessary. I’ll put a shelf and mirror over the basin.
