bath room

[paul 1]

i am re-placing my carpet in my bathroom. do you think another carpet or some other form of flooring ie plastic?

I have got plastic tiles, black and white.
So it looks good and so far after 2 years, still in good shape.
No curling up or coming off the floor.
I also use a bathroom duck.

Definitely NOT carpet.....I've yet to meet a man who can aim straight down the loo 100% of the time. Think of all the accumulated drops of wee in the carpet, yuk!

Definitely don't put a carpet in a bathroom, its a breeding ground for germs.

I would say tiles or if you can't afford it, get lino

carpets in a bathroom are soooooooo unhygienic. when i bought my previous flat and re-did the bathroom i had the unpleasant task of ripping up the old carpet. OMG - that was one of the worst jobs i've ever done. the memory of the stench that came up off the floor, and the stains that were left behind have stayed with me 2 years after the fact!

i replaced the carpet with karndean vinyl flooring which is fab - easy to clean, and comes with a 10 year guarantee: http://www.karndean.com/gallery_previews.asp?m ain=residential&sub=bathroom&type=pvc

Depending as to where your bathroom is situated I would go for ceramic tiles , or a really good vinyl flooring , ceramic floors are so easy to keep clean , but things don't bounce on them !!
