What to put on the bathroom floor instead of tiles
The bathroom floor is quite a challenge. It needs to be waterproof, durable, and easy to clean. When considering what to put on the bathroom floor instead of tiles, can we find a solution just as practical? It turns out that we can. The hottest option is vinyl panels. Classic floor panels are also often chosen, as well as wooden floors, but wood must be professionally and properly sealed.
If you dream of wood in the bathroom, you have to opt for exceptionally durable and water-resistant species, such as cedar, and also be prepared for a higher budget. For financial reasons, it's more advantageous to choose vinyl panels, which often allow you to achieve an equally attractive effect as wood, and importantly, the possibility and freedom to change the look every few years.
Advantages of vinyl panels
Vinyl panels are gaining more and more popularity. They impress not only with their uniqueness, allowing you to create exceptional spaces, but also with their warmth, which ceramic tiles lack. It's worth knowing that choosing vinyl panels does not exclude the installation of underfloor heating. Today, vinyl panels are available in many different patterns and sizes, which makes it possible to design bathrooms in any chosen style.
A great example is the Ideal collection, where you’ll find waterproof vinyl panels. The W1/L1, W14/L14, or W18/L18 patterns pair well with Scandinavian or rustic styles. They are also a perfect solution for those following the latest trends, among which the popularity of natural materials remains strong. It's a compromise between savings and comfort, and your dream look. These panels will surely appeal to fans of wooden floors.
Also worth mentioning is the W21/L21 pattern imitating marble – a touch of classic elegance that fits well with glamour or art deco style.
For trend seekers, we also recommend vinyl panels imitating concrete. The W3/L3 pattern is a choice that will give your bathroom an industrial character.
