Update.
I put down a layer of 1mm compressed underlay. It probably gives a bit more give to the vinyl plank, probably adds a little warmth...not that you’d probably notice but it was cheap enough for a roll at the local trade shed.
Bathroom 1 job finished.
Plan A was to refurb both the 21yo main bathroom and adjacent en-suite identically....White suite, black gloss under sink cabinet, half tiled rather than the previous fully tiled, with pale grey wall tiles and click vinyl UK Flooring Direct Spectra pale grey Boulder Oak plank. The only contentious bit being the pumpkin coloured ( literally) paintwork...I was persuaded to use that colour by a girl I know who is rather good at interior design. I love the contrast but it’s easily changed in future.
Now I’ve lived with it a few months, I’m thinking of Plan A/2. Just different flooring. Possibly 18mm dark Oak 3 Strip lacquered solid wood. Obviously I’d have to seal it, but it does look good against a black cabinet. Maybe change the current pale grey metro tile (7.5cm x 30cm) colour as well .....
Question is, even with good extraction, is a decent hardwood floor advisable in a lightly used en-suite or stick with 4.5mm click vinyl ?
Hopefully someone may have used solid wood flooring in a bathroom so can advise of any pitfalls. TIA.
