Bathroom Direct Ask the Question "To Tile or Not to Tile a Bathroom Floor?

There is a huge difference between the type of flooring you use for the living areas of your home and the bathroom and once you get past looks, durability, cost and other commonalities, you need to consider one factor that no other area of your house has - water. As the bathroom will always have water, choosing the wrong flooring can quickly ruin it. If you are considering undertaking bathroom remodeling, make sure that you choose the right contractor to advise you about the best flooring options for your bathroom.

 

Your bathroom floor must deal with the elements of your everyday life. You walk back and forth on it getting ready in the morning then you splash water getting out of the tub or brushing your teeth at the end of the night. Foot traffic, water, spills and slips; your bathroom floor sees it all, which is why selecting the flooring in your bathroom is as important as the whole rest of the bathroom.

 

While Bathroom Direct ponder the question, “To tile or not to tile”, let’s look at a few popular options, and some aspects to think about when choosing your bathroom flooring. Easily one of the most popular choices in bathrooms, tile is durable, waterproof, easy to maintain and stain resistant. With all of those advantages, the popularity is easy to understand. In addition, you can have your tile cut and shaped into all types of presentations, and the colours and finishes leave plenty of leeway for you to get creative. Checkered, textured, or bright and vibrant, tile has the options you need. The cool, hard underfoot - especially in the winter - and its susceptibility to slipping are perhaps the only true negatives in terms of functionality. However, you can install underfloor heating to negate the coldness.

 

Getting a good quality tileable shower tray, which will withstand the rigours of daily use and house movement without causing heartache in the years to come has been hard to find. Bathroom Direct have combined their considerable experience with acrylic shower trays to develop a one-piece tileable shower tray with built-in fall and a low step. The Tray also reduces the time to install a tiled shower tray and does not require waterproofing on the bathroom floor. Another advantage is this design enables you to place this on an existing polished wooden floor or a second floor of an existing house without the normal concerns of house movement causing leaking.
