Wood or LVT in bathroom
We are currently renovating our bathroom and we currently have wooden plans that match the rest of the floor. As we are now installing a shower I’m worried that we might cause water damage by having wood. We are considering using lvt flooring but was wondering what looks better aesthetically. Would lvt cheapen the look?
This is our floor now

Comments (7)Love the look of your new bathroom! The wallpaper certainly makes a statement and adds interest to the room. It looks like the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of a long day....See MoreNeed bathroom inspirations for compact bathroom
Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See Morewhat can I use to waterproof a wooden bathroom vanity?
Comments (1)Yacht varnish. I wanted a wooden sink unit but even with just adults in the house, I couldn’t rely on my husband to mop up any pools of water so ended up with half wood and a tiled top. Ha ha. Much less stressful ;0)...See MoreWood or stone effect tiles in my new bathroom ? - please help !
Comments (10)LVT is generally fine up to 27 degrees with UFH but you’d need to check the relevant make etc. A warm stone effect could work particularly if you have the room to add accessories to bring in more warmth? I don’t think a chevron wood effect would give a nautical feel and the pattern gives the effect of texture. I think any wood would work though, just avoid accessorising with anything nautical if that’s not the look you want! Do you also want to avoid pattern in the shape of the tile as opposed to a print on the tile?...See More

As per other comments, the current floor is nice so you may want to keep what you have in place if it's serviceable. Whilst you can use engineered wood in bathrooms generally it's not recommended.
At Woodfloors4u we specialise in flooring, our Stone Plastic Composite Vinyl click ranges (LVT) would be a more suitable product for a bathroom.
We stock SPC in plank or herringbone with various sizes available.
Our Vinyl SPC click plank and herringbone range is a versatile and resistant product that can be used anywhere within the home or commercial environment. SPC is waterproof with built-in underlay, easy to install and clean, and saves labour costs as you don't need to use expensive adhesives or underlay.
SPC also has good resistance to changes in temperature and humidity making it a great choice for any region.
So you have an idea of what the product looks like I have inserted a couple of images.
