Wetroom floors

hi cat. I have wet floor room with non slip vinyl. its good stuff and not jaggy at all. its just more rubbery if that makes sense.
however, it tends to smell if you don’t mop the floor after a shower. ive also found that as well as regular mopping. I have to get on my hands and knees and scrub it clean. but this could be down to the type of vinyl I have.
have you thought about going into a carpet suppliers and scrounging some samples for comparison.

Be very specific with the flooring. I did not want the standard wet room non-slip flooring because …… I slipped on it (same with Lino, laminate & parke) so I wanted a bobbly one, they found two and ….. Yes, ‘they’ fitted the wrong one, which I slip on even when it s ever so lightly damp

My flat used to have Altro Wet room flooring (from a DFG grant). That came in many colours and comes in two type – one with little bumps that I would describe as ‘gritty’ feeling and another which is smooth (which feels like smooth rubber).

I like the smooth one which is often used in pucker accessible toilet/bathrooms. Not so grippy as I can’t pivot transfer – but I never slip.

Tiles are horrific – I slip all the time and have to cover with a mat – even the ones for wet floors.

Vinyl for wet floors can be found in carpet warehouses for sale – we bought some for our bathroom and when feeling it with hands it felt grippy but the moment we put it under foot – it was like ice both wet and dry. Seemed to hold dust and get extra slippy.

My favourite is altro smooth. All other surfaces I use a none slip mat. Altro does stain though if you use hair dye and some comes out of your hair into the shower area!!
