So you've decided to give your bathroom a makeover and looking for flooring that will best complement the rest of your decor? Let's take a look at some of the best options you should shop for on the market.
For starters, bathroom flooring should be waterproof and durable while complementing the rest of its decor.
The most popular options
Ceramic
When choosing to floor for your bathroom, you want something that is both stylish and practical. Ceramic tile is a great option for bathroom flooring as it comes in a wide range of colors and designs. It is also easy to clean and maintain. When installing ceramic tile flooring, you can create a unique look by using different colored tiles or laying the tiles in a pattern.
Porcelain
Flooring is one of the most important elements in a bathroom. It needs to be durable and easy to clean, as well as stylish. Porcelain flooring ticks all of those boxes and more.
Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile that is made from fine, dust-like particles of clay. It is fired at extremely high temperatures, which makes it much harder and denser than regular ceramic tile.
As a result, porcelain tile is very strong and resistant to wear and tear. It's also waterproof, making it the perfect choice for flooring in a room that gets a lot of moisture. And because porcelain tiles are glazed, they are also easy to keep clean.
Laminate
Laminate flooring is a good option if you like the look of hardwood because it is more cost-effective and generally easy to install if you want a DIY project.
Natural Stone
Natural stone tiles are also known to create a luxury look, along with the cost. Options range from granite, marble, travertine, and limestone. The natural look creates a spa-like look in your bathroom. It is one of the most expensive options, so if you're not worried about your budget and want the best look, this would be a good route to go.
Vinyl Flooring
If you are worried about your budget, then you'll be happy to know that vinyl is a cost-efficient alternative to more natural options. Vinyl flooring is good-looking and practical and has been a popular choice for bathrooms for years. Most vinyl flooring installation can be a DIY job, and there are thousands of styles and colors to choose from.
You can even choose from different types of vinyl flooring, such as LVT (luxury vinyl tile), LVP (luxury vinyl plank), and sheet vinyl.
With LVT you can mimic the look of natural materials, but have material that can withstand whatever you throw at it. Additionally, LVT is easy to maintain and is resistant to stains, scuffs, and scratches.
LVP is an excellent alternative to natural wood flooring. It mimics the quality look and feel of real wood and is 100% waterproof.
While LVP and LVT come in small tiles, sheet vinyl is produced in large sheets.
Ceramic and porcelain are the two most popular types of flooring for bathrooms, but there are others available, which is why it's important to explore all your options. Hopefully, this gives you a better idea of what flooring will best fit your bathroom remodel and expand your search!
