• While we are on the subject of floors - what do I go for in the utility corridor between the new bathroom and the landing? Vinyl? Rubber?

  • what do I go for in the utility corridor

    No one ever likes this suggestion but I'll give it anyway...

    ... imo you want the commercial stuff they put in restaurant and hotel kitchens with the integrated skirting boards and an integrated drain in the floor. It's hard wearing, grippy when wet, easy to clean, not too hard, the list goes on.

    If you're into the honesty of materials, there is nothing honester.

    It doesn't have to be burnt orange either. It also comes in grey:

  • With a toddler and two cats, I would happily line my entire house in this.

  • I reckon finding an installer that can fit commercial stuff properly because they use it all the time and can be bothered to do a single bathroom rather than hospital ward might be tricky.

  • I've spent too many years in hospitality and too much time in hospitals to be comfortable with that.

    Good shout for anyone else though.

  • Your photo isn't showing for me.

    When I was a kid a couple of the shops we went to had this grubby industrial flooring, I guess a kind of vinyl with integrated skirting, but it had a non-slip surface that sparkled like it had little bits of mica in it. I was fascinated by it and thought it was really glamorous. I don't remember what colour it was now maybe a dark red.
