Modern bathroom hardwood and laminate flooring materials can make a bathroom look sophisticated, trendy, and very expensive. Many people love wooden floors in their home. They often end up renovating older homes that have carpet and old lino floors, where they rip up the old carpets, remove the old lino floors, exposing what is often a beautiful timber floor beneath, and then sanding the floors to a consistent finish, and then polyurethaning the wooden floor to a glossy, or semi glossy finish that radiates like golden honey.

Lots of other home owners aren’t that lucky to be blessed with a hidden goldmine of timber flooring already, and so they have to choose from some of the modern choices for a timber look. Usually, the end choice is dictated by budget levels, and this can either mean an expensive solid wooden floor is laid, that comes with numerous long term benefits, or alternatives like a laminated ‘look-a-like’ timber floor is chosen.
