Home Building - Bathroom Flooring

When choosing the material for the floor of your bathroom, you should put safety before aesthetics. Here is a bit about some of the more commonly used floor surfaces in bathrooms:

Vinyl flooring is easy to maintain and will last at least 20 years.

Marble on the floor is also easy to maintain and will last a lifetime.

Tile, if installed properly, will also last a lifetime and is easy to clean.

Laminate flooring will last at least a decade and requires only a bit more maintenance than vinyl.

Hardwood (oak or pine) floors are beautiful, warm underfoot, and will last a lifetime in any room, including the bath, if and that’s a big if -you’re willing to invest the time in its regular upkeep - especially around the base of the toilet.

Carpet lasts about a decade and though you may like the way it feels on your toes - water and carpet don’t mix. A better idea is to get some fluffy throw rugs to accent your floor.
