Whether you’re completely remodeling your bathroom or are just looking to update the floor, it’s very important that you choose the right waterproof material. The flooring you put in your bathroom is more important than your floor in any other room of the home. To help you make the right choice, the knowledgeable staff at Parker Floor Covering have shared some information about choosing a bathroom floor in Hamilton, OH.

What You Should Know About Bathroom Flooring

Why Waterproofing Matters

Even if you don’t have small children who will splash water all over the floor while they take their bath, your bathroom will still get wet. Just the steam of a hot shower can damage non-waterproof flooring, especially if that bathroom is used every day. A bathroom should be properly ventilated and water-resistant from floor to ceiling to ensure that it will last for years and won’t incur permanent water damage. Because the floor will gather most of the water, it should be completely waterproof.

Popular Materials to Consider

Many factors may impact your decision on a flooring material, such as budget, appearance, slip-resistance, and maintenance. Each popular material has its own benefits. Porcelain and ceramic tile are durable, attractive, and easy to clean. Vinyl and laminate flooring are affordable, easy to maintain, and can mimic the appearance of more expensive materials. They can come in textured styles, which offers some extra slip resistance when the floor gets wet. Rubber floor tile is popular among those with small children, as they are soft, slip-resistant, and very durable.
