Bathroom Duckboards

Although it might seem small, a duckboard is one of those finishing touches that makes a house a home! If bath mats don’t suit the vision you have for your bathroom, duckboards are a great alternative.

Should I go for a bathroom duckboard or a bath mat?

Duckboards possess a few advantages over bath mats, one of them being that they are much easier to clean and much quicker to dry. Bath mats often stay wet after usage, which when left over time can result in dampness or even mould. However, due to their design duckboards dry much quicker, minimising any lingering dampness. It’s also worth considering that because duckboards are easier to maintain, they have a greater longevity in comparison to bath mats, too.

Duckboards also can help to prevent accidents when stepping out of the bath or shower. Their anti-slip surface aims to lower the risk of people slipping on the bathroom floor.

What are duckboards made of?

Typically duckboards are made of wood, bamboo being the most popular choice due to its resistance to water, mildew and stains. However, high grade plastic duckboards are becoming quite popular due to the anti slip qualities applied to the surface of the plastic.
