Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Sep 13, 2006 6:33 pm We have restumped and put in new timber floor on our laundry and toilet room. Now, we are in the midst of deciding what to go on top that is durable and easy to maintain. We are trying not to use tiles, vinyl, cork or cork rubber. No wood as well.
Is coated cement floor on the new timber suitable and what are the problem using cement flooring? What do you think of this product? Is it something I can use for my laundry and toilet? http://alternativesurfaces.com.au/products.html Re: Any ideas for alternative flooring for laundry and toilet? 2Sep 13, 2006 7:41 pm What sought of timber floor is it? Whatever you decide you will have to cover it first with fibre cement underlay sheeting Re: Any ideas for alternative flooring for laundry and toilet? 4Sep 15, 2006 9:10 pm Do you mean radiata pine? You would be better off removing the timber floor and putting down compressed fibre cement sheeting which you can then lay a screed over the top of.
Timber is a natural product subject to weather etc. so will move and crack cement if laid directly over. Re: Any ideas for alternative flooring for laundry and toilet? 5Sep 17, 2006 3:41 pm I agree with Dukekamaya.
Stay away from any type of timber flooring in wet areas, the problem which can occur if you end up with water damage in these rooms could end up quite costly for you to fix. You need a stable surface to lay any flooring. Cement flooring is OK but very cold and dull in appearance. In my opinion tiles are the best for these rooms. Hi Dukekamaya. I'm from Nowra!
