When choosing new flooring for bathrooms, you will want to consider what types of materials are going to be the most waterproof, because let’s face it, that floor will get wet. Especially if you have children, bathroom floors need to be able to handle water.
Waterproof Bathroom Flooring Materials
• Ceramic and porcelain tiles- are the most popular. They are beautiful for flooring materials and are naturally waterproof. Porcelain is especially lush but may have less variety than ceramic tile options.
• Natural Stone- is a very elegant and durable yet pricey choice. The downside is that sometimes they can be a little slippery when wet.
• Luxury Vinyl Tiles- will be a softer and warmer option that is waterproof and typically come in long planks.
One thing to remember with the first two options is that they can be hard and cold under foot, without the floor being heated, so be sure to keep that in mind. However, these three options are all great at resisting moisture in bathrooms and will look great.
Why Choose Granite Flooring?
Stone flooring is an excellent choice that give a timeless look to your home. One very popular type of stone flooring, is granite. Granite is a very dense and strong igneous rock that makes it ideal for high-traffic areas. The durability and versatility of granite makes it quite popular in kitchens and bathrooms as it can also be coated with an anti-slip grit that will help prevent slips and falls, when wet. The main draw back for some, could be cost, the fact that granite is quite a heavy material and the maintenance could be tedious.
The beauty and long-lasting appeal of granite is undeniable as it comes in several colours and sometimes crystals can be added to the surface to add a bit of shimmer to it. It is a fantastic choice for any home, especially in kitchens and bathrooms due to its resistance to spills and stains. Not to mention, it also is a great way to add property value.
