1. Select the Best Bathroom Tile Floor Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With so many options for man-made tile (including luxury vinyl flooring) and natural stone\u2014selecting the right material often depends on your desired look, your overall project budget, and your preferred level of maintenance. Here are some of the benefits of our most popular bathroom floor materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man-Made:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Man-made materials include clay, vinyl, cement, glass and any other material that is not naturally occurring. In this section, we’ll discuss our most popular man-made materials for bathroom floors: porcelain, ceramic and luxury vinyl flooring<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain & Ceramic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain and ceramic tiles<\/a> are made of clay that has been glazed and fired in a kiln. While porcelain tile<\/a>, made from a stronger clay and fired at a higher temperature, is slightly more durable, both porcelain and ceramic floor tiles are robust enough to withstand typical bathroom traffic. In addition to being waterproof, these tiles are scratch- and stain-resistant, making them an excellent choice for bathroom floors. Available in a wide variety of shapes, patterns and finishes you can find porcelain and ceramic tiles to complement virtually any design. These tiles can even mimic the appearance of other materials; wood-look<\/a> or marble-look tiles<\/a> offer natural beauty with superior durability and easy maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
