Waterproof wooden floor?
Q
Comments (8)
Hi. Don't give up on oak yet. It's really hard and ages beautifully. Even with the bumps and knocks of everyday life it'll go on looking fantastic -- just with more character. Most materials look their best when they leave the factory then only go downhill after that. Good quality wood keeps looking good, even though it no longer looks new. I'm a furniture guy rather than a flooring guy but I do have an oak floor (and a dog!) and it's been fantastic. There's a German company called Osmo who make some great wood finishes, lots of them intended for flooring. I use one of their products for my furniture, although it's actually really intended for floors. It's called Poly X and is a "hard wax oil". That's a mix of oil (so it brushes on and into the wood) plus some really hard wax (that's dissolved in the product until it's applied). When the liquid dries and the solvent evaporates the wax goes rock hard and forms a barrier of protection. They make some pretty grand claims on their packaging which I was skeptical about. I'm not going to vouch for anything they claim but I do know this: I ran a test of my own where I poured boiling hot, super-strong black tea onto a test board of Ash which had been finished with two coats of Poly x. I left it overnight and was able to clean it off in the morning, and it left no trace whatsoever on the wood. Not sure how it would cope with your dogs' accidents but it's worth having a look into.

Also worth noting that the preparatory work required to enable a first class finish can be extensive. Essentially the walls need to be flat, true & square. This is in fact where most of the work comes in to it. Tilling requires far less prep work ordinarily. However, it all depends on the finish you hope to achieve and the complexity of the design. Top Tip! If your installer is able to butt & scribe a joint the full height of these panels you know you have a real professional at hand. This will open up design possibilities without having to use unsightly cover/jointing strips which is the whole idea behind Nuance panels as opposed to similar products from other wall panel manufacturers.

shower bath next to a window?
Q
Comments (11)
Our bath with over-bath shower is in the same position as you're proposing, i.e. under a window. The windowsill is tiled with a slight forward slope and we have a waterproof roller blind, inset within the window recess, both for privacy when showering and keeping water off the window. Like others have said, some form of window covering is needed to preserve modesty when showering when standing so relatively close to a window, even with 'privacy glass' in the window. All I do is give the blind a quick wipe over with a microfibre cloth to mop up any splashes before rolling it back up once I've donned my bathrobe robe! Our bathroom is approx. the same size as yours and having the bath/shower on the window wall does seem to be best layout.

tiled skirting in a bathroom - using wall or floor tiles?
Q
Comments (3)
On top of the skirting? No way! I think that would look awful. Far too bulky in a sleek designed room. We have an ensuite which has the wall tiles sitting on top of the floor tiles to give the impression of more of a wet room effect. We also have a main bathroom and in here have the floor tiles cut to the size of the skirting that was originally in there height wise and then placed on top of the floor tiles So one room has nothing and the other room has the floor tiles up the wall as a skirting.
