There are plenty of reasons why it isn’t the best flooring for a bathroom and, as a result, is now usually avoided. Instead, you need something that can stand up to moisture. Whilst fully waterproof flooring is o...
  9. Is memory foam better than standard foam underlay? Think memory foam is only found in your mattress? Wrong – it’s actually used to make carpet underlay too.
