Bathroom flooring may be the place to start your bathroom remodeling project. Flooring in any room makes a great impact just because of the amount of space it occupies, and since bathrooms are usually smaller the impact of a new floor can be greater.
Special consideration needs to be given to bathroom flooring for a couple of reasons. If your bathroom is not a large room, choosing lighter colors and designs with larger elements will expand the room. Another consideration is that a bathroom receives a lot of moisture both in the form of water on the floor, and the steam from showers and running water.
Many flooring choices are available today in a variety of different looks and price ranges. Natural stone such as granite or marble, laminates that mimic a wood look and are easier to keep up, tile or vinyl flooring are some of the many options available. Another long standing product, linoleum flooring, is making a comeback with more choices in pattern and color.
On the following pages you'll find information on a number of bathroom flooring choices and their characteristics and care requirements.
