Tiles are undoubtedly a practical and functional material, but even they can become boring over time.
If you have decided to do the finishing of your bathroom and are thinking about what to replace the tiles on the floor with, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, because she has found several suitable options at once.
Linoleum
For the bathroom, a semi-commercial type of flooring that is resistant to household chemicals and abrasion is suitable. It is important that the linoleum has anti-slip properties. If you cannot find a suitable one, at least get rubber mats.
When installing the material, take care of high-quality sealing of the seams and perimeter so that water does not get under it. Glue or hot welding will help you with this.
Another important point: before laying linoleum, it is worth leveling the floors. The resulting bumps will lead to moisture or condensation accumulating under the covering.
Laminate
For the bathroom floor, you can use moisture-resistant laminate, which is made from HDF board with antibacterial additives, impregnated with wax, or waterproof laminate, which boasts water-repellent properties and a sufficient level of strength.
Vinyl tiles
This tile has the appearance of a ready-made sheet or roll and has such characteristics as strength, water resistance, ease of installation and ease of maintenance. By the way, this material is non-slip, so you will not need special mats.
