bathroom flooring - alternatives to tiles??

Hi Everyone,

We're renovating a bathroom and would prefer not to tile it. What we'd really like is terrazzo, but our floor level is not suitable (we'd have to grind it down too much).

Can anyone suggest some other stylish and functional flooring material for a bathroom?

thanks,
Carlin

If you hunt around, you should be able to get terazzo in a 10 mm thick tile, still laid in the traditional way with a grind & polish to finish.

Polished concrete?

Thanks for those suggestions. With the terrazzo tiles, does the grind and polish mean there are no grout lines identifying them as tiles, and instead it looks like one flat terrazzo surface?

If so, then that sounds like the go.

That is generally the case nowadays. Terazzo used to be laid insitu however with the cost of labour over the last 30 years, changes in style/decor it had fallen out of favour. Have a look at the floors in your local Westfield, these will most likely be terazzo tile (although they use a 30 mm thick tile).

There is very little insitu work done now unless you are after something ultra unique.
