Looking for the perfect bathroom floor? Let's talk about what actually matters.
Sure, you want your living room to look amazing, but your bathroom? That's where practicality needs to take the front seat. You need flooring that can handle splashes, spills, and all that moisture without falling apart. Let's break down your best options.
Vinyl Flooring
Here's why vinyl is such a bathroom favourite: it's waterproof, won't break the bank, and you can actually install it yourself if you're handy. Plus, these days vinyl comes in pretty much any style you can imagine—classic tile patterns, modern wood looks, you name it.
The best part? Modern vinyl planks look and feel surprisingly realistic. You get the gorgeous appearance of natural timber or tile without the maintenance headaches. It laughs in the face of moisture, mold, and mildew, and when it needs cleaning, a quick wipe-down does the trick. Easy wins all around.
Laminate Flooring
Now, laminate can work beautifully in bathrooms, but here's the catch - installation has to be spot-on. You absolutely need to go with water-resistant or fully waterproof laminate to keep moisture at bay.
Think of laminate as a sandwich with four layers: a tough transparent wear layer on top, a design layer that mimics wood or stone, an inner core made from medium or high-density fibreboard, and finally a backing layer that keeps everything stable and moisture-resistant.
When it's installed correctly, laminate stands up to busy family life and high-splash zones brilliantly. But cut corners on installation or maintenance, and moisture can sneak into that core layer and cause warping. You've been warned!
Hybrid Flooring
Want flooring that's both tough and beautiful? Hybrid might be your answer. This stuff combines exceptional durability with a look that'll make you do a double-take.
It's completely waterproof, handles temperature changes like a champ, and comes in everything from natural stone to wood-grain finishes. Scratches? Not a problem. Warping? Not happening. This flooring keeps its good looks year after year, which is exactly what you want in a bathroom.
