Bathroom Floor Options - Comparison Chart of Bathroom Flooring Materials

Stylish, durable, and resistant to moisture are the three considerations you should be most mindful of when selecting bathroom flooring. Although there are numerous choices for flooring such as concrete, stone, wood, or tile, etc., there are advantages and disadvantages to each type. Below is a simple chart outlining the main benefits and drawbacks of the most popular types of bathroom flooring options.

Floor Types	Benefits	Drawbacks
Concrete Flooring	Can be designed for any budget Is a prime option for incorporating the warmth of radiant heat Requires little maintenance Resists moisture and stains Reduces allergens	Requires occasional resealing
Ceramic Tile	Comes in a multitude of designs	Is limited by certain-sized squares with grout lines Grout lines can stain and must be sealed Tiles can break or chip
Hardwood Flooring	Has a charming old-world appeal	The need for refinishing increases in the moisture-ridden area of a bathroom
Laminate Flooring	Probably the cheapest option Offers the look of tile or wood at a lesser cost	Is not ideal for areas with a lot of moisture or where water damage could occur
Stone Flooring	Adds a dramatic, rich look to bathroom floors Are hard-wearing and durable	Likely the most expensive option Requires sealing Can be noisy under foot
Carpet	Adds comfort and warmth	Makes the least practical sense for bathroom flooring Can stain, mildew and need to be replaced in moist conditions where it's likely to endure spilled water or liquid hygiene products

Why Choose Concrete?

Becoming mainstream is the option of customizing concrete bathroom floors. With concrete already pre-existing in most homes, exposing it and applying effects such as coloring, engraving, staining, or dyeing makes concrete a viable option. Concrete provides a surface that is stylish, long-lasting, and can withstand the elements in a bathroom including moisture, spills, stains, etc. In price comparison, concrete can be customized within any budget. It is a cost-conscious, environmentally-friendly option that offers freedom in design and freedom from extreme maintenance.
