Bathroom flooring ideas that will make your space better
Bathroom options include porcelain, other ceramic tile, stone, concrete and resilient products, subject to product suitability. A stone appearance differs from material composition, and care varies by finish.
Choose bathroom floors for wet exposure, slip, cleaning and compatibility with substrate, waterproofing and drains. Vinyl or engineered timber names do not suit every product to bathrooms, and tile does not replace a waterproofing system.
Test samples with lighting and fittings, checking joints, edges, cleaning and repair. No texture or colour alone proves that a floor cannot slip or suffer wet-use damage.
