When dealing with bathroom flooring it comes down to two main choices: carpet and laminate. But which to go for? In many instances it will boil down to personal preference, but one may lean more towards a much more waterproof option. And with a wide selection of vinyl floor tiles available making a choice is becoming easier all the time.
The reason as to why you should consider laminate/vinyl floor tiles is because of the many advantages that it carries. Whether you go for Aqua Step or Dumafloor you’ll get 100% waterproofing, which makes for a much easier clean up after a hot soak or after an accidental spillage.
Laminate is also a generally tougher substance with materials ranging from wood (the Dumafloor range comes in different types of wood including walnut, oak, pine, beech etc.), slate, granite, marble amongst others for that extra piece of mind.
And not only is laminate water resistant and durable, you also don’t need to call in a DIY expert for some of them. The Aqua Step range, for example, utilises Uniclick’s click system for a quick and easy install that anybody can do.
But perhaps you may see a downside to laminate flooring. A slippery floor soon becomes a dangerous floor. And with bathroom flooring being a prime place for water to be found it’s understandable why this would be a concern. However, this can easily be rectified with a bathroom mat for some additional protection.
