Rubber flooring

We are about to buy a new (for us) house with carpet in the bathroom and laminate in the kitchen. SWMBO has decided that the bathroom carpet shall be replaced with a rubber floor, and is strongly inclined to do the same in the kitchen.



Recommendations, horror stories, fitting tips would all be welcomed.



The current plan is for a solid sheet (rather than tiles) in the bathroom, and I fear that fitting that is beyond my DIY skills. We might go for tiles in the kitchen, which I feel comfortable about laying. Any thoughts?

Very professional, very hygenic, and very expensive.

You probably don't mean real rubber either...likely a butyl rather than vinyl sheet.

Only if GWB can't keep his precision bombing up to snuff.

Actual butyl is not that expensive. Assuming it's thinnish, and glued down.

Is that a place in Spandinavia? :-)

No :)

1mm butyl is 4.50/m^2. Glob on lots of contact adhesive, and you're golden.
