So, you have decided to revamp your bathroom, have chosen the bathroom fittings and fixtures and now need to decide on the flooring to make your bathroom makeover complete. There are a few options for flooring but do consider underfloor heating initially as whether an electric heating mat is used or run as part of your home gas heating system it will make the bathroom warm and comfortable in the cooler months of the year.
Some people choose to have carpet in their bathroom but even though it may be warmer on the feet it is not practical and it is hard to keep clean especially if you have a young family.
A popular and practical choice for bathrooms is flooring tiles. There are a wide selection of tile designs and patterns on offer either online or in local DIY stores. Different effects can be achieved by using contrasting coloured grout or grout that is the same colour as the tiles. The way the tiles are laid whether straight or diagonal can also vary the overall effect.
More recently laminate flooring has become a good alternative to tiles and can give a similar effect. As long as the laminate is glued and sealed it can be used successfully in many bathrooms.
