There is no rule or law that dictates what kind of flooring that a homeowner can have in their bathrooms. Yet even though this is the case, it should be known to homeowners that some types of flooring are a much better option than others. For example, when it comes to bathroom flooring, Pine Island residents should be made aware that carpet flooring is not a good idea, considering all the humidity that comes from a shower that can get caught in the carpet fibers. Here are some better options to consider if you are wanting to upgrade the flooring in your bathroom.
Ceramic Tiles
One of the most popular types of flooring for a bathroom of a home is ceramic flooring, more specifically tiles. Ceramic material is very strong and durable, and can handle many substances, such as water. When it comes to using ceramic tiles as a bathroom flooring, Pine Island residents should know that if they are taken care of properly, they will last for many years to come. It is not uncommon for a homeowner to get fifteen to twenty years out of their ceramic tiles, maybe longer if they are taken care of properly.
Vinyl Flooring
If you are a homeowner who is on a budget but still trying to get new bathroom flooring, Pine Island residents may want to look into different vinyl flooring options. Vinyl flooring a come in sheets, planks, or tiles, depending on the preference of the homeowner, all of which are good options. Vinyl flooring is one of the most cost-effective materials to consider, as they can last for many years as bathroom flooring without any issues. One of the negative aspects of vinyl flooring though is developing bumps or gaps on the subfloor of the bathroom. But being that vinyl flooring is on the cheaper side of flooring materials, it may still be worth it for homeowners to get it. Make sure that you are regularly cleaning your vinyl flooring to avoid gaps and bumps.
