One major aspect of bathroom remodeling is choosing the flooring. While you want to select an option that fits your style and budget, you also need to keep the bathroom’s unique needs in mind. Here is a breakdown of three of the most popular bathroom flooring options to help you decide.

3 Flooring Options for Your Bathroom Remodel

1. Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring comes in sheets, tiles, or planks. Sheet vinyl can be installed in large sections for fewer seams in the floor, which helps avoid water seeping underneath. Tile and plank vinyl can both be interlocked together. Some come with adhesive already on them for convenient installation.

The material itself is water-resistant and can mimic the look of stone, ceramic, or wood. While vinyl is easy to install and maintain, it likely won’t increase the value of your property.

2. Ceramic & Porcelain Tile

Waterproof ceramic and porcelain tiles are commonly used in the bathroom. These inexpensive tiles can come in styles that imitate marble, stone, and even wood.

Ceramic and porcelain can be cleaned with an all-purpose cleaner and don’t require regular sealing.

Tile is often time-consuming to professionally install and requires a special saw to make proper cuts.

3. Natural Stone

Natural stone is a beautiful and durable option for bathroom remodeling. Options include marble, granite, slate, and limestone. As a luxurious material, natural stone can help boost your home’s resale price if you decide to sell.

Stone often requires regular sealing to avoid water damage, depending on the type you choose. It can also be slippery when wet, which may be a concern if you have young children or elderly in the home.
