Vinyl Plank Flooring over existing ceramic tile in bathroom
Comments (1)We are doing master bath remodel and previous owners had vinyl plank flooring laid over the concrete foundation-- the people who did the work said that if the baseboard is high enough (ours is about 3" of wood--not tile.. they said the vinyl plank was run to the baseboards and cut to fit then silicone caulk was used along that joint... So far have noticed no issues anyplace in house this was done--not just in bathroom... we are taking out all LVT in master suite and replacing it with 1 type of flooring for unified look after master bath is redone--since we can't get the type of flooring in there now--not made anymore-- they won't need to add a quarter round on top of the LVT... so as long as you are happy with how the LVT would look butting up to the ceramic tile baseboard--maybe you can do the same... IS the ceramic baseboard in good shape? Still tight?...See Morevinyl planks for kids bathroom?
Comments (3)There are 2 main kinds of vinyl plank floors. The ones that you glue down, and the more recent ones that are floating, clickable systems. Both types of floors have top layers of vinyl, and are waterproof. The clickable systems have special-made locking seams that keep the water from getting to the subfloor. The glue down kind is used all the time in both kitchens and bathrooms, and the clickable ones have been more recently as well. Karndean makes a beautiful glue down material, and their website should show you where theres a dealer. If not, depending on where you're located, we can help you with that. COREtec makes a great floating vinyl plank, and you can also find a dealer on their website. If you're anywhere near the Northeast, give us a call if you need assistance sourcing the material. https://theflooringblog.com/installing-coretec/ https://theflooringblog.com/water-resistant-flooring/ The Couture Floor Company...See MoreVINYL PLANKING IN NEW BATHROOM
Comments (1)I'm following because we are thinking about doing this in our kids'/guest bathroom since we have a good amount of leftover vinyl plank flooring from our downstairs area. If we can put off the bathroom project long enough, I want to see how it wears downstairs. When we purchased the house, the bathrooms had "groutable vinyl" squares which is kind of the worst of everything. New master bath remodel has tile and it's beautiful but already a month into it, I've got some grout cleaning concerns with the floor and I definitely can tell that it's colder than the vinyl squares (but so much nicer, of course). Our vinyl planks are long and much better looking and they suit the layout of the hall bath and they feel nice underfoot and clean up wonderfully and will save us a good amount of $ on install (besides already having them sitting here) BUT my worry is that we are sort of committed then once everything is installed. Maybe not so much if we decide not to do a floating vanity. I'd say we are 70% yes and 30% no on the vinyl planks at this point of our pondering. The price point on our house/neighborhood does not merit "fancy" finishings and we already have vinyl downstairs so the bathroom is not going to be a deal breaker, assuming it wears well over time. Ha ha - maybe I just convinced myself to to 80/20. Tile is surely a safer bet, though....See MoreVinyl Plank wood-look flooring in bathroom
Comments (4)Click and float. If I had to glue it down, I would just do porcelain, since I'm pretty good at tile work (I just have soooo much more tile work to do) Why can't it go under cabinets? I would figure any expansion might be hindered, but could expand the other way (not a very large room, maybe 6' wide to the shower wall. The vanity is a RH furniture vanity, so the feed are on sliders anyway. Floor will take the weight, but with minimal contact area for any relative motion. Clawfoot tub is the same.
