Whether you’re building a new home, remodeling your entire bathroom, or simply replacing the bathroom floor, choosing the right flooring option is important for practical as well as design purposes. This guide can help you know what the best bathroom flooring options are.
Natural Stone
Natural stone is a durable, water-resistant flooring option that offers a classic, timeless look. The beauty of natural stone is one reason it’s always included in design trends year after year. It may be one of the more expensive options, but it can last decades, making the investment worth it. One thing to consider is that some types of natural stone can become slippery when wet, so you may want to consider a finish that mitigates that.
Porcelain and Ceramic Tile
Porcelain and ceramic tile is a popular option for bathrooms because it can be manufactured to look like natural stone or hardwood. It’s more affordable than stone and better suited to bathrooms than hardwood because it won’t warp or sustain damage from water. There are numerous styles, colors, and sizes to choose from, so design options are limitless. Porcelain tile can even mimic the look of weathered, hand-scraped, and other finishes of hardwood, making it a popular design choice.
Vinyl
A popular vinyl flooring material today is luxury vinyl tile (LVT). These individual tiles are nearly waterproof, flexible, and resilient. They have an ultra-realistic design layer that makes the tile look like hardwood or other natural materials. LVT is an affordable, beautiful, and durable choice for bathroom floors. There are also different installation methods available, which makes it easier to install over irregular or uneven areas. LVT is a great option for creating an elegant, upscale look at a lower cost.
