Cork flooring in a bathroom? Any "real living" experiences?

10 years ago

We have found a lovely cork flooring option we would like to use in our bathroom remodel (Wicander - Flock Moonlight). I have read all the pros and cons and understand that cork can be used in bathrooms if the edges are sealed properly with silicone. We have no children or pets at home anymore. Any input is welcome

We used cork in our bathroom and have one very sloppy teenage daughter who showers a lot and gets water on it regularly. It holds up surprisingly well and is beautiful! I put it down about four years ago and it has been wet a lot. It is extremely durable. I suspect yours will not be subject to the same level of abuse. The only down side to cork that I can see is the cost. It is pricier than other options. The product I used had sealed edges, and came in panels that clicked together. You can find it at most flooring places as well as the big box building supply stores.

Since the lot you describe is smaller than my open living area, I would suggest looking at some of the "shotgun" house plans around New Orleans,LA. I think you can build up and back and get an interesting home with a loft for space. It can be done, A porch with an entry to a narrow hall at the back might work best for you. Will you plan a courtyard (closed)? or what? What part of the country are you in? What are your local codes?

I have the same kind of bathroom and saw the same video. I used an angle grinder to remove one of the walls. You have to have hearing, breathing, and eye protection. I don't think there is any way to avoid the dust. I'm going to direct a fan to an open window in the bathroom. My sinks are top mount so there was no problem removing it. I replaced the faucet only for now. I also changed out the drain and stopper. The old one was rusted to the sink. I had to bang on it with my loader from my tractor with the sink upside down to get it off, lol. I have put off removing the rest of the wall and the cabinet because it is such an ordeal. You might check with Daltile to see if they still make the tile. Maybe try cutting away the cabinet while keeping the counterop supported and then dropping it so that the joint gets more exposed? I'll be interested to know if you get to this before me but I'm doing an entire gut job.
