While some people disregard the bathrooms as being an important facet of the home, they are considered something of extremely high value in actuality.
Since these are the places one goes to get clean, it is important that this area is made with design and functionality in mind. Choosing the right materials, fixtures and appliances will be the final key to unlocking the perfect bathroom space. So how does one go about flooring in this regard?
Here at Andre Kitchen and Bath, we want to help people who are struggling with bathroom flooring and help find the perfect solution for their needs. To learn about flooring and how to make the right choice for your next bathroom renovation, check out the information our team has provided below.
Important Things To Look Out For
As we previously mentioned, while design is important, functionality is just as (if not more) important when it comes to a bathroom and its design. Some of the things to consider when choosing materials for proper bathroom functionality includes:
- Its resistance to water & humidity
- Its durability (how will it wear overtime?)
- Its need for maintenance
Some Design Aspects To Consider
Making sure there is an even balance of focus on both design and functionality can help you find the perfect flooring solution for your bathroom space. Some design aspects we suggest you keep in mind include:
- The colour of your flooring (do you want to keep it neutral or try something more bold and different?)
- The finish (how do you want your floors to look when they catch on the light?)
- The patterns (which pattern or shape best suits your bathroom design?)
Some Flooring Recommendations
Some of the main bathroom flooring solutions we recommend include:
- Ceramic/Porcelain Tile: The reason why we highly recommend this flooring over other options out there is because it is affordable, waterproof and easy to look after in terms of maintenance. The only downside is that it is susceptible to cracking if a heavy object hits this flooring too hard. It is scratch resistant, however.
- Natural Stone: Apart from natural stone being a beautiful addition in terms of design, it is also moisture resistant and highly durable. Keep in mind, however, that this tile can get quite slippery. It’s important that in this situation you have rugs/towels placed onto the floor if it gets wet.
- Cork: Although this may be a flooring option that you haven’t heard of before, cork is becoming an incredibly popular flooring option if you have sustainability in mind. Not only is it more environmentally friendly, it is also waterproof, comfortable to walk on and beautiful to look at. We recommend that you get this floor resealed every couple of years, however.
