Choose the right bathroom flooring based on your priorities — cost, kids, safety, and eco-friendliness.
Low Cost But Tough
Vinyl flooring comes in an array of colors and patterns at a relatively modest cost. Although the price can be as low as just under $1 per square foot, you’ll find fewer style choices among the least expensive varieties.
The Designer’s Choice
Ceramic tile bathroom flooring is the preferred choice of 64% of respondents, according to a survey by Floor Covering Weekly. With good reason: Ceramics come in a huge array of sizes and shapes, and can be mixed to create endless custom patterns. It’s the ultimate designer’s medium.
Best for Kids
Water, water everywhere! That pretty much sums up bath time at households with young children. In addition, kids have a knack for dropping the shampoo bottle and conducting bathroom experiments. If protection from water and stains is a high priority, sheet vinyl is the choice for you.
Best for Durability
Quarry tiles are stronger and more wear-resistant than glazed tile and are made with a slightly rough surface texture that makes them slip-resistant.
