Can you put parquet in a bathroom?
Ordinary parquet isn’t ideal in a bathroom: wood is a natural material that moves with moisture and can swell or shrink with lots of steam and splashing. But there is parquet specially made for wet rooms, and that’s what you need if you want real wood in your bathroom. This parquet resists moisture better than a standard floor, which allows it to be laid in a bathroom, given correct installation and sufficient ventilation.
Bathroom-suitable parquet
The floors in this collection are marked by the manufacturer as suitable for wet rooms such as the bathroom. That makes them the right choice if you want the authentic warmth and grain of real wood rather than an imitation. Important during installation: finish the joints and the connections to walls and sanitary fittings carefully, ensure good ventilation and limit standing water. Feel free to ask us for the specific installation and maintenance instructions of the model you have in mind, so your floor stays beautiful for a long time.
Prefer maximum peace of mind? Choose a waterproof wood look
If you want the parquet look with the absolute waterproofing of a bathroom floor, there are two near-identical alternatives. A PVC wood look is 100% waterproof, warm and soft underfoot and installs yourself with a click system, also in herringbone. Wood-effect tiles (ceramic parquet) are extremely hard, waterproof and maintenance-free, with the look of wood and the properties of a tile. Both are a safe choice for heavily used or steamy bathrooms.
