It's bath time. The first thing a child will want to do is splash in the bath water as if it were a paddling pool. Therefore, in a family bathroom used by young children, the flooring will need to be able to withstand lots of water whilst providing slip resistance. For the elderly, the bathroom will need to be accessible with a good level of slip resistance, and a floor which is soft underfoot in the event of falls. We suggest Pergo Vinyl flooring (mentioned above) as it offers all of these qualities and has an attractive appearance.
Choosing bathroom flooring can prove to be a difficult task. There are various factors from finish to design that you will need to take into consideration. The best flooring examples will be able to tolerate water spills and humidity whilst looking great. In today's article, we will be discussing the different types of flooring available and helping you to decide what will work for your bathroom.
There are many benefits that porcelain tiles offer. One of the biggest draws towards porcelain tiles has to be their appearance. Porcelain has an elegant appeal that is desirable across the home. It is also very durable, resistant to wear, and breakage. Porcelain is known for working exceptionally well in bathrooms as it is impervious to water and easy to clean. You can team porcelain tiles with underfloor heating so you never step foot onto a cold tile during those harsh winter months.

Stone flooring is a sure-fire way to add a touch of modern luxury to your bathroom. However, real stone flooring needs to be treated and handle properly before it is used as bathroom flooring. This is because natural stone can be porous. However, most stone tiles are treated with a protective sealant before the stone is fitted. Stone may require more care than flooring options such as porcelain and will need to be resealed every couple of years.
Vinyl is perfect for the bathroom as it is designed for high traffic areas. You don’t have use your bathroom in fear that you’ll scratch your floor or something split
will not be able to be removed. Vinyl also looks great and comes in a wide choice of patterns and colours, a great choice for those wanting to print pattern or colour to their floors.

We recommend installing flooring across the entire floor rather than cut around sanitaryware. This is to ensure you do not have to replace your flooring if you need to switch out your bathroom fixtures in the future. If you cut around existing furnishings, you’re risking leaving gaps in your flooring.
