Bathroom wood floor

Wooden floors for bathrooms: at home as in a spa.

A wooden bathroom floor is the dream of those who love to get out of the shower imagining that they are in a real spa.

Cozy, warm, comfortable: wooden bathroom floors create a relaxing atmosphere, capable of making us forget the hectic pace of the world. A small refuge where you can take care of yourself to transform a service space into one of the most important rooms in the house.

But is parquet and bathroom coexistence possible? Yes, there are no contraindications to lay a parquet in the bathroom, just a few small tricks.

The main problem is certainly the humidity. Normal conditions for maintaining parquet in excellent condition include a temperature between 18 and 21 ° C and a humidity level between 50 and 60%. A hot shower or bath will certainly raise these parameters, but it will be sufficient to ventilate the rooms well to bring the values back to normal and not to damage the wood.

The same goes for stagnant water, another enemy of the bathroom wood floor. Also in this case, the timeliness of intervention to dry the floor will be sufficient to avoid causing any type of damage to the surface.

It will be essential to choose a wood essence suitable for wooden bathroom floors. Oak, Teak, Doussié or Iroko are the most suitable types of wood as they are more stable and resistant to temperature variations, humidity and foot traffic.

Pre-finished parquet is also recommended for the best response to stresses due to the natural movements of the wood and with a varnished finish because it is less delicate.

As for the installation, however, it is better to avoid a wooden floating floor for the bathroom and to prefer the one that is totally glued to prevent infiltrations between the floor and the screed. Relying on skilled labor will be essential to avoid nasty surprises with the passage of time: the laying of the bathroom wood floor must be done in a workmanlike manner.

Retro, classic, modern, minimal or classy: the right parquet in the bathroom will adapt to any style and will enhance your furnishings.

You can opt for different sizes and colors according to your taste or continue with the parquet laid throughout the house to give continuity to the rooms.
