The 5 Best Bathroom Flooring Options

The bathroom is one of the rooms in a house that gets the most amount of foot traffic. Add constant exposure to moisture to the mix and you’ll understand the importance of durable flooring in your bathroom.

If you’re confused by all the flooring options on the market, today bathroom remodel expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno discusses the five best bathroom flooring materials.

Tiles

Whether it’s the porcelain or ceramic variety, tiles get a good rep for being waterproof, stylish and affordable. Porcelain tile has an extremely low water absorption rate, making it the perfect choice for full bathrooms. Tiles are also easy to clean and available in a wide range of colors and designs. The only downside to tiles is that they can get quite cold in winter, but this can be remedied with radiant floor heating.

Natural Stone

Got a big bathroom remodeling budget set aside? Natural stone might be the right bathroom flooring option for you. Stone floors tend to get slippery and cold, so choose textured stones like slate to prevent slips and install radiant heating to warm up the stone.

Vinyl

When you choose vinyl flooring, water isn’t a worry because vinyl is 100% waterproof. It’s important that your installer looks out for gaps and bumps in the underlayment because these can ruin the smooth look of the vinyl surface.

Engineered Wood

This is the only acceptable option if you want the appearance of wood in the bathroom, since engineered wood has better moisture resistance than real wood.
