Are you looking to remodel a bathroom? Adding new bathroom flooring is a great way to make an immediate and noticeable difference. But which flooring choice is right for your home? We can help you decide.
Tile
Advantages: Tile is a popular choice in bathrooms everywhere for a variety of reasons. It is one of the most waterproof flooring options on the market and can be incredibly durable. Tile can also increase the value of your home and add character. There are many sizes and options of tile on the market today.
Drawbacks: It can be more expensive than other flooring choices. If you’re on a budget, you may not be able to install the top designer styles in your home. It can also be a little more difficult to keep clean than other options.
Hardwood
Advantages: Hardwood flooring can be a great choice for your bathroom if you have hardwood throughout your home and want continuity. It can make your home feel put together.
Drawbacks: Hardwood can be pricey and isn’t right for everyone’s budget. While many hardwoods can be made water-resistant, it is important to keep in mind that hardwood floor doesn’t do as well with water as other flooring options.
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank)
Advantages: LVP is a low-cost, high performance hard surface flooring option. It is also waterproof, which makes it a great choice for bathrooms, mudrooms, or basements that can get moisture. This flooring style is manufactured to look authentic and high-end, even more so than some engineered hardwoods.
Drawbacks: The plank textures repeat, so in large spaces you may be able to see some duplication. This is not a concern when using wood planks, which are natural and therefore completely unique.
Laminate
Advantages: Laminate flooring is easy to clean and it can be less expensive than tile or hardwood. Laminate can also come in a variety of looks, including laminate that looks like wood or tile.
Drawbacks: Unfortunately, laminate isn’t as durable as other options. It can warp with too much moisture, so it may not be a great choice if you constantly have water on the floor in your bathroom.
Sheet Vinyl
Advantages: Vinyl flooring is a great choice if you’re looking for durable, cheaper flooring. A well-installed vinyl floor can be waterproof and stand the test of time in a bathroom.
Drawbacks: Vinyl flooring may fade over time. It is also not the trendiest flooring on the market, so you may want to keep that in mind if you are looking to add value to your home or sell it in the near future.
