If you go with tiles, you can install heating under the tiles which would be a bonus in the cold winter months. If you go with wood, just make sure it’s sealed and waxed. There are tiles that look like wood as well. Good luck with everything 😍😘
You can get underfloor heating that works under floor boards as well. The main thing is to insulate under the sub floor so you don't lose heat that way.
Underfloor heating is a must in a bathroom!
That’s why you have KIDS they are perfect for opening up gates 😂 💕🇦🇺💕
Yes to tiles and underfloor heating. Perhaps you could get wood effect tiles and lay them in herringbone pattern or parquetry pattern with an outside border. Would look fabulous!
I also thought of the tiles looking like wooden floor, that's a great compromise if you want the look of wood but the practical aspects of tiles!
Love Phillips sense of humour. “There’s my wife and my dog, my wife is the one with the blonde hair” 😂
“If you were born before 2005…” 🤣
@@jeffgraham1389 that one made me LOL 😂
That made me chuckle!
I'm an interior designer, and specialise in bathrooms. Yes, you can heat both tiles and timber floors, even carpeted floors. It's easier to maintain a tiled floor in a bathroom, but if you seal the timber, you can also use it in the bathroom. It really just depends on if you are happy with more maintenance. Personally, I think because this is a ensuite for the main bedroom, I would look at natural stone, which would give it a feeling of opulence. A nice limestone or travertine in a light cream colour would really suit the chateau. It would require sealing, but it will last decades and never go out of fashion.
Wood, if you don't mind the occasional maintenance. If you do tile, take time when choosing, to consider how slippery it is when wet.
I voted Team Wood, but we have cream travertine in our master bath, and I agree it is gorgeous and feels luxurious.
@@marybethterhaar4200 natural stone in a honed or tumbled finish is non slip when wet.
ah gosh stone floor/stone tiling would be amazing.great shout
Thank You Anna! For once a KZheadr with the common sense to wear proper PPE!! Love it! You are an excellent model for ALL DIYers everywhere!
Team tiles! It's easy to clean and not get rotten. We have wood in the kitchen and I hate it. Most pieces have chipped edges.😩
Here also team Tiles, but with the addition of an electrical floor heating underneath, so your feet are warm in winter! (it is not the main heating, though)
Yep. When the toilet overflows you don't want the wood absorbing that! Even when you seal the wood there are always crevices on the edges that accumulate germs. Tiles, or real stone tiles you can clean... even marble hexagonal parquetry which I did in black and white in an old Craftsman-style bungalow in St. Paul, Mn.
In my opinion Anna should design tile for the bathroom. Everything she's designed has been very beautiful. ❤
That’s a superb idea!!
Definitely, seems like she liked to be in the studio painting tiles :)
Voted wood but alternatively Anna could design beautiful tiles.
Anything water-resistant for the bath. The larger the tile, the less grout to mess with. The smaller the tile, the more design options. Blessings!
I was just watching a home decorator show where the host recommended reserving larger tile or stone surfaces for walls rather than floors. He was saying grout is a good way to help prevent slipping on wet surfaces, and recommended smaller tiles on floors for that reason.
@@Epoxinator There are floor tiles which have some kind of (invisible) anti-slip texture.
It is mind-boggling to me how you make sense out of the plumbing and electrical work, Philipp, and how you persevere in the muscle aching, monotonous job of removing wallpaper and floor glue, Anna. Your work ethic is outstanding!
But removing floor glue is a job for day laborers or floor specialists ($$$).
Team tiles. I just installed tiles that look like wood. Long strips. I’d definitely install under heating if you can. It’s such a wonderful gift for the wife with the blond hair.
😂
yes on underfloor heating!
I like the under floor heating with tiles idea. Hopefully you can find someone to fix the gates, I think you’ll appreciate having that motor working especially in cold rainy weather.
Until the power goes out and you can't get out. I have them now for the first time in any house and you can flip a doohickey up top with a stick, but it's a pain... still it's nice to have them because I have no copilot.
Mine are powered by solar so I don’t have to worry about power outages.
@@dawngresham8397Hmm... don't know if they have those in Mexico, but I'm going to check into it!
My grandmother’s ancient house had wood floors throughout, including the kitchen and bathroom. They held up just fine. When I built my house, I did the same thing. I prefer the feel and look of hardwood. Twenty-three years later, I still love my hardwood.
I find tiles cold to walk on so would go hardwood too.
@@catherinekilgour2563depends on the tile. If you've got a more matt/textured tile it doesn't get as cold as a shiny tile, which on the other hand can be easier to clean. They could also add a floorheating system. That way they'd have more options. :)
Here in the states new hardwood floors aren’t really hard. They’re crap that dent easily, warp easily and require sanding and refinishing every 10 years and they aren’t thick enough to take multiple sandings. I had a previous home in Virginia built in the 1980’s which had really hard hardwood floors. The ones I have now are beautiful crap.
You guys are hilarious ❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You need to buy solid wood flooring, not engineered hardwood. I live in the USA & bought genuine oak floors that should last a lifetime. They tell you if you buy engineered hardwoods that you can only sand them once or twice. They’re only 3/8 of an inch thick- just “pretty” wood on the surface. Solid hardwoods are “solid” and typically 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Totally different type of product with a totally different result.
100% wood. Americans aren't used to wood floors, but it's done all throughout Europe and it's completely fine (as I'm sure you know). It's warm and full of character. I regret not saving the wood floors in one of my last bath renovations.
Do you speak for all Americans?
@@kmarch6630 sorry wasn't trying to be rude. I'm an American, and have found that there's usually a bit of a knee jerk reaction to wood floors in bathrooms here, which has always baffled me.
Tile in the bathroom. Easier to clean. You can bring wood in with teak accents. Perhaps a teak stool in the shower. Congrats on the progression. I can't wait to see the finished suite.
Born before 2005… 😂😂😂😂 dying lol Oh… and wood. Feels more authentic, cozy yet gothic
Definitely tile! The Schluter system allows you to more-or-less make your entire bathroom into a tub as the strips are mortared about 100cm up the wall. Someday, with probability 1.0, you will have a leak of some sort in the bathroom and then you will wish you hadn't used wood flooring.
With Phillip installing the plumbing, you might want to choose which floor will be easier to repair🤣. Seriously, I love my heated tile floor during colder months and the coolness of the tiles during the heat of summer. Bring samples in of both and live with them to see which you prefer.
Team tile! They make lovely options that look like wood if you want that warmth.
I think Phillip should be the gate keeper. Thanks for the humour once again.
What are children for if not for tasks such as these?
Wood floor for the bathroom - so much nicer on bare feet. Both our bathrooms are wood floors and they are easy to mop and are in keeping with the rest of the flooring in our old bungalow.
Relation cinématique entre la gate qui ne marche pas et le floor qui ne se nettoie pas, l'oeuvre d'un véritable cinéaste + la blague sur ceux nés avant 2005 qui ne savent pas ce que c'est que la différence de genre = les deux évènements de cette vidéo qui me rappellent pourquoi je vous regarde. Fabuleux! J'ajouterai le regard amoureux d'Anna à la fin qui console et contient. Cette grille n'a pas besoin de "marcher" pour être belle!
How about 8 inch black and white marble squares, installed on the diagonal, surrounded by an 8 inch black marble border! It would be a classic look, to the rest of the house, and period architecture! Thomas!
Team tiles here. I love the look and the wear of tile.
WOOD!!! No question!! Yes, we have wood in ours and LOVE IT!!
Cork is the perfect floor; it's anti microbial, doesn't absorb water (why we use it to plug wine bottles) and has memory, which means it can't be damaged. It's renewable, meaning, it grows back, and it can be stained any colour. It's also warm on the feet, and it absorbs sound. I'd do cork floor in bath and kitchen. It's a bit pricey, but you cry only once. And in time, if you tire of it, it's super easy to remove. Cork can be had as a 'floating floor' too.
I have cork in my kitchen (rented) and they don't look so good after maybe two decades. They bleach a lot, so I have ca. 5 different shades on the floor depending on the furniture that stood there. And the top coat is pretty damaged in several places.
Oh Anna, that is a job for Sisyphus ! I admire the dedication. It's going to look amazing. I'd do wood or a stone, maybe even terracotta. Not ceramic tile, it's too cold.
Wood! We have dark wood floors in our bathroom (22 yrs) and not a problem. Of course we place a bath mat outside the door when showering and by the tub when bathing in the tub. Hang to dry on towel rack when not in use. Wood is so much warmer. Love your posts!
It may sound strange, but wood grained tiles really work well in a bathroom. The visual appearance is less cold and you get the all the benefits of tiles.
You both look like you could use a break away from everything…just for a short while. You are working way too hard! What you have done so far is absolutely amazing….proud of you both. Thank you for putting yourselves out there for our viewing….not an easy task sometimes! 👍🥰❤️
You could always go with a wood look tile. I'm a bit fussy with bathrooms as there are so many areas for germs so think tiles are better for cleaning, water, damp, etc.
Definitely team tiles! Great vlog. Made me laugh a lot!
I agree that the antique tiles would be beautiful! That floor is a horrible task to clean up! Take care! It will be worth it when finished I believe! The gates are beautiful!
Team wood! Love y’all’s humor and wit! ❤️from Texas
A wood bathroom would be very nice. A perfect warm and cozy feeling
Anna for the Master BR use either Porcelain tile that looks like Carrera or Carrera Gold marble or just use the marble . Today unless you are a professional its very hard to tell the difference between the two once installed. But with the Marble you must seal it at least once a year which is not hard to do. If you use either of those your Master Bathroom will be outstanding and experiment with the cuts of either one for walls and flooring and inside the Shower walls and floor . For the floor you will generally need smaller tiles and often something with some texture to prevent slipping.Hardwood floors do not do well in Bathrooms and if you use them be prepared to seal the finish well to prevent water damage. Basically they are not practical for Bathrooms but do fine in Kitchens but again must be sealed well with the proper varnish or laquer..Also painted wood floors give interest to Kitchens..You could also use Travetine but it must be very well sealed as its more porous than Marble..
Philip you aced that toilet drain! Well done! Yes. With the new engineered wood flooring you can do wood in your bathroom! Great effort on the floor Anna.
Team wood! Because of the love for sailing boats Philip, you should consider a teakdeck as a bathroomfloor. Lay it just like the deck of a boat complete with black rubberkit in between the teakslats.
Team tiles. I like the cleaner look that tiles give. Love the heating underneath idea.
My instinct is tiles but that’s because I’ve always lived in modern homes and never a chateau. I think it would depend on the tile….but wood could be a definite option as it’s the master bath so it wouldn’t have the wear and tear of a common bathroom.
100% Tile with a heated floor. I'm a contractor, and every client that I convince to do a heated floor has LOVED it. Once you have one, you'll never go back. Plus, Having torn out countless bathrooms, you want a water resistant floor. Use Tile.
I think if you can seal the wood to be water resistant and tight use wood!!! I love the look of wood.
I’ve had both wood and tile. I like the wood personally in the bath
I understand your floor dilemma. FYI my husband and I built a house overlooking the water on Mt Desert Island in Maine in 1993 and, looking for the same feeling of warmth that you expressed, we put down hardwood floors in all the bathrooms. They are still beautiful. Admittedly, they were treated wood planks, made to be used everywhere, even in the kitchen. And we were careful of them, wiping water spills when they happened. After 27 years there were a few places in the kitchen that needed a little care, but not in the bathrooms - and we loved those floors. Good Luck!
Team wood, have had it for 20yrs and still looks new.😁
I have wood in the kitchen for more than 10 years. It’s painted white. I love it.
Y'all crack me up! You motivate me but mostly crack me up. Renovation is not for sissies!
I have a 200 year old house with marble Portuguese Cement tiles in the bathroom. It is authentic for the period. But wood sounds also great!
We live a 105 year old home and we love our wood floors. We have in all three bathrooms and they are beautiful. We put down a bath mat (rug). When stepping out of the tub or shower. I agree titles tend to have a clinical feel.
Team wood. I think it would look amazing to try and make it as original as possible. Plus, I love beautiful wood with warm colors, coated with thick waterproof coating.
A combination of wood and tiles would be practical and look lovely too! Philips jokes especially funny today......😄even if his electrical expertise was missing in action.
A combination of the two on a floor would expand and contract differently creating poor results over time.
Team Tile! The under floor heating mentioned by others above would make for a cozy bath even in the winter. Good luck and loving the new renovation work!!
We have heated floors in our house bathrooms. It's wonderful in winter. The tile is warm and summer it's cool. So happy we did that!
Speaking as someone who currently has hardwood in our bath and in our kitchen and has had both for almost six years now, it is great. We love it, we keep a towel next to the shower and the tub and still we have no complaints whatsoever. And you are right, it is warm in look and in feel. I would say go for it if that is what appeals to you. It is clearly a chocolate vs vanilla thing! PS I love my candle😊.
The gate is absolutely amazing! It reminds me of the gate of our old house (although that one was only half as high).
I am team wood. You guys are so much fun!
I love the idea of a heated tile floor in the bathroom! So much less backbreaking work for you.
Removing that glue looks like a uniquely torturous task relative to virtually everything else you have done that you've shared with us. 😵💫
Most definitely tiles, it doesn't matter how wet they get!
I am Team Tile. I love me some black and white tiles.
Wow. This video was absolute evidence that the renovation life is WORK! The tedious hours Anna spent on the floor...... ugh.... my legs and arms were aching for her!! And the unglamorous job of the piping that Phillip did....... all i can say is wow. It is so much work but you guys always make it look so nice! I like to watch you guys because i wouldn't have the vision y'all have. I would just feel so overwhelmed!
We have always had a wood floor in the bathroom and it is wonderful. Think gym floor. Warm, soft, easy to clean, beautiful.
Philip you are so funny! Your dry sense of humor always makes me laugh 😂
Tieam tiles for sure! I understand Anna's concerns but if you avoid white or grey hues, for example, tiles can look just as warm and cozy as wood and much easier to keep clean. The shape of your tiles as well as the manner they are laid can also make a huge difference.
team wood!! love a bathroom that feels more like a room than a bathroom
Ive gained a whole new respect for you two as we're renovating and i'm filming it for my channel, but that's soo hard! maybe cos our house is so small and builders are doing most of the work, but there's just no space to set up a timelapse! It's making me think of you often haha, amazing job on the videography!
We have wood flooring in our powder room, but tile in our bathrooms. I do agree with Anna that wood flooring looks warmer. But since this is a bathroom, you may want the ease of a tile floor, for cleaning purposes. ❤️😊
I have travertine with black Diamond insets and underfloor heating in my bathroom. I get many compliments on it. I’m sure either option you choose will be very tastefully done. You both exude class and your decorating skills are amazing. Watching from PA, USA.
Whatever you decide to do will be beautiful, I am sure. You both are so good at renovating your Chateau!
Love a wood option, warm and inviting...even if it's a wood looking tile. ☺ My husband, mom, and I so enjoy watching your videos! Amazing progress on a beautiful home. Can you just imagine it all complete and relaxing, thinking back on the journey. Love all of the people in your adventure as well, what a great team!
I vote for tiles with radiant heating underneath. Lots of tile options are very cool and many kinds that mimic wood incredibly well.
Because of water spots on wood, do tile. It will last forever. Also, if you have an overflow from the commode, you won’t have to redo the floor. We had a slow commode leak (a plumber didn’t tightened pipes like he should have done) and it rotted out the wood subfloor. A costly mistake.
Wood floors- yes every time! We have wood floors in 2 baths and the kitchen and it is charming, easy to clean and beautiful.
We had a historic home from 1869 we put hardwood in all the baths and it was fine! Had a nice warm look
I knew it was worth it waiting for this
Love wood floors in the bathroom, warm and cozy... 💚💚💚
Team tiles all the way. Anna can do her design magic
It's so much more fun watching you guys tackle the problems of chateau renovation than it would be to do it myself. To me, it seems like tiles in a bathroom are more secure against inevitable leaks and splashes than wood is and they somehow feel more sanitary, too. But wood is definitely more inviting to walk on and has a lovely feel to it.
Tiles! There are so many pretty choices. Perhaps Anna could do another custom look. ❤
My brother put tiles that look like wood throughout their whole house and it's really beautiful. That way you get the best of both worlds.
These projects are so labor intensive. You're doing a wonderful job.
I would go for the same flooring throughout the entire suite! Wood would be great!
I would need a whole day at a spa after peeling all that stuff from the floor!! Good bless you! Edit: Oh my God! 😆 You mentioned it in the sponsor section!
You could install wood and then paint and seal it. Gives the physical warmth of wood and the practicality of tile
I love the idea of the timber flooring for the bathroom
I have wood floors in my bathroom, and I like the warmth that they provide.
I'd go wood. Refinished original pine floors in my bathroom. Looks great. Adds warmth to the room.
I’m just an observer, but I appreciate what you’ve done so much. Incredible.
Tiles, plus floor heating is what I suggest. Previously had a subfloor in 2 out of 3 bathrooms. They were small bathroom and the contractor did a great job. Had to make room near the door for the electrical floor box terminal. Was a blessing during winters in Colorado, USA. Good luck. Enjoy the videos over the last 2 years. Peace
Tile with under floor heating, so you get style plus comfort.
The stairwell looks so amazing!
Im definitely team tiles! One of the things I love in our bathroom (apart from underfloor heating), is the fact that our shower doesnt have a door or curtain - we have a wet room, so no need for a seperate shower tray, and the lack of barrier means that once you've finished showering there's little temperature difference between the shower cubicle and the rest of the bathroom. Obviously, if you tend to splash a lot, this isn't so practical.
For the Master Suite bath, go with large tiles or better yet marble on the angle with an outside border pattern to make it look like an area rug. Use the coordinating tiles in the shower. .You can purchase tiles that have wood grain appearance. Anna glad you are wearing protective gear. Philip, call the company President back. Tell them what happened with the Customer Service guy instructing you to do the wrong thing. Make them correct their problem with the motor by giving you a new one and having a professional company come out and remove and install the old one. Best to get a warranty on the mechanicals through a certified dealer - that way the onerous is on them and their pocketbook.
Definitely tiles in the bathroom. There’s some amazing product out there that actually replicates wood, but is ceramic and it looks great. Check it out!
Tiles for sure
You look fabulous in red Philip. I strongly suggest a new subfloor in the new bath & in-floor heating. Whatever you decide will look amazing.
WOOD! I've had wood floors in my old house for decades (in the bathrooms) with no issues. It will give you that scandi look I think you like Anna. When you asked about the colour of your entryway you trusted your instincts about the light colour...trust your instincts here too.
I lived in an old home and had wooden floors in my bathrooms and kitchen. They held up extremely well. Like you Anna I too believe they add real warmth.
I’m so out numbered but I love the look and the feel of wood…tile is so cold,sterile, and loud ….just my opinion…you always (both) make the best choices that way if something happens, it will be easier your taste and aesthetic are always right on❤😮😮😮😮
I needed some floor-scraping, electric-frying, waste-pipe-installing energy in my life today. Thanks for the giggles! I'm team wood floors btw. My mom has them in her house and they're doing just great 10 years on!
How about both tile and wood? Tile that looks like wood is amazing and would hold up for years and years without the constant worry of water damage. Love your content. You are both absolute gems!
Tile. Sanitary and easy to clean
