Vinyl bathroom flooring is sometimes overlooked today because our society has moved on to more natural products in our homes. I am going to make the case here for the usability of a vinyl bathroom floor covering.
First let me say that it has been used extensively in public buildings and in offices for years, it has therefore a good track record for longevity and durability, as well as easy maintenance. Today we see vinyl used for home applications more frequently.
A vinyl floor covering is sold in large sheets or as tiles, both available in a wide variety of styles and colors.Regardless of your bathroom design you will find a vinyl bathroom flooring option available to complement it.
Some of the advantages of vinyl floor coverings are found in the maintenance that is super easy. They repel dust and dirt, they are anti bacterial, they soften the blow to falling objects, they are stable, do not smell, and they are inexpensive.
Care of your vinyl bathroom floor covering could not be easier. It is sufficient to wash it with warm water with a little soap. (Avoid petroleum and linseed oil based detergents.)
Now I would like to offer you another innovative idea for a truly spectacular bathroom floor.
Wallpaper!
No I have not flipped my lid and a vinyl wallpaper can easily become a bathroom flooring vinyl. The major advantage is the incomparable number of design options and choices. First you have to choose a vinyl paper. Once installed as your bathroom floor it is covered with a PVC layer which will make it very resistant and waterproof. It is washable, you can even use a brush to wash it (but who would want to.) Important if you choose this option, make sure that the glue you use is specially designed for vinyl. Ensure that your surface is well prepared, and that all cracks are filled. Advantages are :
- Easy to find and install
- Easy to clean
- Cost relatively low
- Longevity may not be as long as true vinyl bathroom flooring
