When it comes to the bathroom, choosing the right floor is important. Bathroom flooring should be flexible, tough and simple to maintain, but not all floor types can handle the moisture and heat. Upgrading to more resilient flooring can make your bathroom safer and easier to take care of.

Vinyl tiles can be used to create checkerboard and other patterns and seam-free installation is possible. Another option is ceramic and porcelain tile. Unglazed ceramic is skidproof, but it has to be sealed so the tile doesn’t absorb moisture. Glazed looks more polished, but for bathroom safety, it’s best to choose a matte or textured tile finish.

The last option is stone, which can give a bathroom a natural beauty. Honed marble, limestone and slate are less slippery, and slate actually has a natural “tooth,” which gives your feet some traction. To maintain stone, you have to apply a sealer when necessary.
