Bathroom Flooring in Reading

The bathroom of a Victorian Reading house sits on joists upstairs, and the deck is stiffened before porcelain goes on it, which is cheaper before the tiles than after the first cracked joint; the BML rigid vinyl tile is the lighter option that tolerates the small movement a timber floor keeps, and the tile itself is listed as waterproof. In a Kennet Island flat on a slab the porcelain from the tile range has the rigid base it needs.

The Berry Alloc panels are the wall answer for a small bathroom, interlocking boards with no grout to fail, and in a let they are also the surface that is wiped between tenancies rather than regrouted. The shower is tanked before either floor goes down, and a textured surface with the maker’s grip rating is chosen for the wet zone.

Flats are 33% of the homes in the Reading district, and a bathroom in a flat is the room a leak from matters most, because it is someone else's ceiling. The rigid-vinyl floor over the slab with the edges sealed to the instructions, and the panels on the shower walls without a grout line to fail, are the two choices that keep the water where it belongs.

Terraced houses are 28% of the homes in Reading, and a terraced bathroom in Reading is often a later addition, on the ground floor behind the kitchen or in a first-floor extension over it. A timber first floor under a bathroom is the case for the rigid vinyl, which floats and is light; a ground-floor slab takes either floor once the reading says it is dry.
