I need help transforming spare room to a modern spacious bathroom
Comments (7)First and foremost - what are your plumbing facilities and where are they located. This may have a large effect on what you are able to do.... I have transformed a bedroom to a bathroom and some creative returns and plumbing were required. Also are you intending to add a toilet?...See Morebathroom floor ideas-help!
Comments (2)Tile is still the best thing for a walk-in shower to be waterproof. Neither the cork or hardwood will be. Think about installing a radiant floor under the tile like Sharon recommended. I like the NuHeat Radiant floor system the best....See MoreGlossy tiles for bathroom ensuite?
Comments (2)I would not recommend glossy tiles in a bathroom. We have 24" polished porcelain throughout our house, and... we also have a pool. Although I love our tiles, I have to be super careful coming inside. If I am at all damp, walking on the tiles is tricky. Yes, they are easy to keep clean, but so are most tiles. For my master bath, I went with tiles that had a high COF (Coefficient of Friction). I've had my fill of slippery bathroom floors, and wanted something that I didn't have to slide a towel around on. I love them! I can step out of the shower, and have as much grip on the floor, as if I had stepped onto a mat. :)...See MoreTiles or timber - bathroom floor
Comments (8)after watching my daughter and her husband agonize over the way their expensive timber floor has not held up well after 3 years, I would recommend tiles/wood look tiles with under heating. Their beautiful warm expensive floor looks like it always needs a clean and polish, not from neglect, they have cared for it well. One of the boards now has a slight and painful moan when it's stepped on :-( I grew up in a completely wood floor home and although it looked wonderful, my Mother hated it. ....and the mats ! Wood is a lot harder to maintain than tiles ,(no matter what the die hards say) the modern wood finishes are much better than they used to be.... But a piece of wood is rather arty no matter what it's used for and it does demand to be loved and cared for.....and if something goes wrong it's a lot more expensive to fix than sand and cement. Ultimately you have to be happy. BTW underheating tiles is warmer than timber :-)...See Morezaffa
