Bathroom Flooring
Water, steam and splashes — the bathroom is the one room where waterproof isn't a nice-to-have, it's essential.
The best floors for your bathroom
Bathrooms demand floors that take water and steam in their stride. That rules out solid and engineered wood — but porcelain tiles and water-resistant LVT let you create anything from a cool, spa-like retreat to a warm, wood-look sanctuary.
Porcelain Tiles
Made for splashes and steam, effortlessly hygienic and available in beautiful marble, stone and concrete looks — the classic spa-bathroom floor.
Luxury Vinyl
Warm underfoot, slip-resistant and untroubled by the splashes a bathroom brings, with realistic wood and stone designs — comfort and safety in one.

What to consider in a bathroom
Waterproof is essential
Standing water and steam damage real wood. Choose porcelain tiles or a rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, seal the edges at the bath and the tray to the fitting instructions, and still wipe up pooling water rather than letting it sit.
Slip resistance
Wet feet on a smooth floor are a hazard — look for textured or anti-slip finishes near the bath and shower.
Warmth underfoot
Tiles feel cold on bare feet — pair them with underfloor heating, or choose warmer LVT.
Hygienic cleaning
Sealed, non-porous surfaces resist mould and wipe clean — important in a humid, frequently-used room.
How to style your bathroom
Warm it up with LVT
Want the look of wood in a bathroom? A wood-effect rigid vinyl, listed as waterproof, gives the warmth of timber; the edges at the bath and the tray still need sealing to the fitting instructions.
Go large for a spa feel
Large-format tiles with minimal grout lines create a calm, seamless, hotel-bathroom look.
Don't skip anti-slip
A textured or matt finish keeps things safe underfoot when the floor is wet — especially with children or older users.
Add underfloor heating
Warm tiles transform a bathroom — no more cold shock underfoot, plus it helps the room dry quickly.
