I'm up on the 2nd floor of an apartment building, old wooden planks on floor with small spaces in between. Presently has cork tiles which are disintegrating.
I want something watertight that will last a considerable time - wary of vinyl after seeing cork tiles wear out in 10 years. Wondering about stuff like:
- bamboo strip flooring, tongue and groove (is it OK for bathrooms?)
- stone or mineral or whatever kind of rigid tiles
- mosaic flooring (bit interested in this)
- aluminium (but how to join the sheets... maybe a wacky idea, may oxidise)
- something else?
Have to make a decision soon and I have no working knowledge of bathroom floors at all, though OK with DIY. I'd probably get the floor fitted. It's a small bathroom. I might use the same solution in the small kitchen next to it.
Over to you guys for some help!
