Bathroom Carpet & Carpet Tiles

[comfortably_numb]

Not everyone's cup of tea i know (but i have my reasons) but i want to lay a carpet or carpet tiles in my toilet & seperate bathroom. I understand that they are available specifically for these rooms.
Can anyone recommend where i can purchase either & would carpet or carpet tiles be better ??

Many Thanks

i just use normal carpet in our bathroom - on the basis that there are no kids using. i've not come across any specific type of carpet or carpet tiles for "wet" areas like bathrooms.

if you've not fitted carpet before then bathrooms/toilets are quite a challenge in getting the profile around the fittings right. there are several posts in the forum to help and you should be ok.

for any "family" (with kids) bathroom i recommend a tile effect laminate and use pva adhesive to seal it water tight. i take up the fittings except the bath to make it easy to lay the laminate (you can just cut to profile and put sealant in gap). i use flexible plumb fittings to reinstall and only fix to the walls to allow laminate to float. works a treat, not as warm on the feet as carpet but ok.
