New bathroom flooring

bargainaddict

Hi, we are deciding what is the best flooring for our new bathroom. We have put in a new suite and re-tiled and not sure what to do with the floor. Are thinking of lino, is it reasonably priced and easy to lay. OH thinks there is lots of preparation to do for lino. we have 3 teenagers so the floor will get quite wet! It's even worse when the dog has his bath :eek: Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

Lino is a good option I`d think . We`ve put down kharndean flooring which is similar and only preperation I had to do was lay 6mm plywood on floor to form level base as my wooden floor was slightly uneven - then I glued down the flooring - simple .
No more worries about water splashing onto floor as you simply mop it up , if you can be bothered !

Agree with thehairbuilder - just would recommend you screw down the plywood base. One screw very 20 cm is what was recommended by the shop I bought my lino from. They advised against glewing since it can become loose on heavy use.

Use one of the electrical screw drivers and the job will be done in no time. You'll never have to worry about any unevenness then, it's a rock-solid base.
