Our builder has suggested a range called POLYFLOR  POLYSAFE HYDRO - Which is heavily embossed plastic - but when I google "POLYFLOR" - The user reviews are truly awful
What does the forum think ?

    We had it fitted in our kitchen 4 years ago, with underfloor heating, it looks as good as new. I am genuinely surprised at those reviews as we've been really pleased with the look and durability.

    Does anything on trustpilot have decent reviews?

    People who are content tend not to review.

    I did wonder whether they were genuine reviews or people with a grudge !

  • What about wall panels ?
    I understand that the builders plan to use FIBO https://fibo.co.uk/everything-you-need-to-know-about-fibo/
    Are they any good ?

    I haven't come across FIBO, but everyone I know who has that sort of wall panel thing in their bathroom is pleased with it and wouldn't go back to tile.

    I'm having Splashwall put in my en-suite next week to try the change for myself.

    I'm not a fan of the corrugated plastic cheap-end ones, but the plywood-based ones all seem good to me.

    The joints on those FIBO ones look pretty good to my untrained eye.
