Bathroom Flooring Options
Shower Floors: there are many options for flooring in the bathroom that is waterproof and can handle the most heavy foot traffic — tile, vinyl, wood; high-end stones also give your house some luxury look and appeal.
Waterproof and infinitely flexible in design from white marble to ocean blue tiles. But tile is hot under your shoes and you need radiant heat to enjoy it.
Vitrified Tiles
Vitrified tiles are a very appealing option and are the perfect choice for any damp areas since the vitrification process makes them waterproof and stain-resistant.
Anti-corrosive and easy to keep clean by steam or hot water, kitchens, bathrooms and loos can be done with these tiles. Available in many different colours, patterns and textures to match any room.
Available in vitrified tiles, double charge styles and soluble salt tiles, according to your need. Online searches give you a picture of what’s on the shelves, but in person in a showroom you get to feel and hold real things.
The collection of vitrified floor tiles available at Simpolo Tiles & Bathware is large to enable you to choose the right ones for your house. Visit today and get browsing – our team can’t wait to assist you in making the right choice!
Granite
Stone bathroom sinks are the timeless luxurious look. All granite blocks are distinct from each other, with different styles and appearances. Stone doesn’t shrink and bow when wet, and it is resistant to bacteria and antimicrobial in nature – though regular sealing will keep its porous surface from staining or water damage.
Patterns on the floor of geometric tiles are intoxicating, which makes any bathroom a visual masterpiece. From old-school herringbone and chevron designs to the newer hexagons, geometric patterns give homeowners who are into design many options for a stunning bathroom.
Gray porcelain tiles in this calm master bath from HGTV Smart Home 2020 add a pleasant pop of colour and traditional style to this serene master bathroom. This easy to maintain material won’t stain or get stained by water for easy-going spa effect – a great choice for bathrooms where heat is a problem such as in showers, where the evaporation of steam can leave water stains or other floors.
Vinyl
Vinyl floors are stylish and economical flooring for bathrooms. Vinyl is both water repellent and durable vinyl, but you won’t miss out on the look of vinyl. Comes in different colors and designs to look like wood or stone. Vinyl is also warmer underfoot which is great for areas where you need to stand at sink or toilet for a long time. And there are textured ones too that keep you from sliding when it gets wet.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVT) or vinyl tile planks, are waterproof floors that have the look of wood or stone and are much more accessible than tile as they are click-lock edges for installation. There is no grout required to install LVT either, and you should seal the edges, edges of corners, wall-to-wall transition or shower-to-wall transition with special PU seals from professional sealants.
Textured and Non-Slip Floors
We have fallen, and this is one of the top accidents in the home, especially in bathrooms. Textured flooring and shower base products offer safety and stability, and are available in multiple textures and colors to coordinate with any décor.
Non slip vinyl comes in sheets or tiles that can also be textured to look like more expensive materials such as stone and wood. This has a textured upper that provides grip while also being comfortable in the foot and is a budget friendly, multipurpose option.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are also available in rough glaze or texture, if you need better slip resistance, although it is more expensive than vinyl and cold underfoot.
Natural stone is the ultimate luxury, but it needs to be maintained on a regular basis to keep it durable. Cork and linoleum are eco-friendly options, but eventually they get dull from too much sunlight.
