Smart Tips for Choosing Bathroom Flooring

Choose the right bathroom flooring based on your priorities — cost, kids, safety, and eco-friendliness.

Mimics Wood but Is Durable

Luxury vinyl plank flooring comes in many styles and feels and looks like hardwood flooring. The planks are usually thicker and more durable that standard vinyl planks, which means they’ll stand up to wear and tear from kids and pets.

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.
