Considering a bathroom renovation? While flooring might not be the first thing on your list, it's just as crucial as fixtures and built-ins. Your bathroom floor should be durable as well as attractive and comfortable underfoot. Installing the right type of flooring for your bathroom is an important decision. A great option offered by Luxury Bath by Innovative Restorations is laminate flooring.
Laminate flooring provides an attractive and cost-effective solution for your bathroom. Laminate flooring, a popular wood-look option, features a resilient, water-resistant top layer and is available in various wood finishes. Let us provide the best laminate flooring installation for your bathroom remodeling project within our Tennessee service area.
Why Will You Love Laminate Floors?
Natural Look
Modern laminate flooring styles now boast realistic visuals and textures, closely mimicking the appearance of hardwood. The texture aligns with the grain in the print film, providing a water-resistant alternative that is generally more budget-friendly.
Protective Layer
Laminate flooring offers a durable top layer, resisting daily wear and tear for easy maintenance. It is not necessary to apply any coats or finishes, just sweep or mop the floor. Plus, it protects against accidental flat iron drops.
Waterproof Surface
The waterproof surface of laminate flooring ensures resilience against moisture, making it an ideal choice for your bathrooms. This feature provides added protection, safeguarding the flooring against water-related damage and extending its longevity.
Bathroom Laminate Flooring: 4 Things to Consider
Install in Smaller Bathrooms
Laminate flooring works great in small bathrooms, like a downstairs half bath or a cozy master suite bathroom. Half baths, with just a sink and toilet, don't have the same worries about spills or humidity as bigger bathrooms.
Plus, smaller bathrooms connected to master bedrooms usually get more regular care and attention, making laminate flooring a smart choice for these warm spaces.
Minimize Humidity
Bathrooms experience increased humidity, particularly with steam from showers. Since laminate flooring is sensitive to moisture and may warp, it's crucial to take preventive measures to minimize exposure. Make it a habit to run the exhaust fan during showers and, if possible, open windows to enhance ventilation and reduce moisture accumulation in the room.
Prevent Standing Water
In bathrooms, humidity is normal, but you must avoid standing water. The key is to quickly wipe or mop up any water that's just hanging around. Letting a puddle stick around will soon make it a bigger problem.
Water can sneak between the seams of laminate flooring, potentially causing mold. Dealing with mold is a bigger issue, and it might end up costing you for repairs or even a whole subfloor replacement. So, keeping things dry is a smart move.
Lay Down Rugs
Adding rugs and carpets to your bathroom not only makes it feel cozy but also protects your laminate flooring. By strategically placing rugs, you can prevent standing water and create a safer, slip-resistant surface, especially when stepping out of the shower or bathtub.
Laminate floors can get slippery when wet, but many manufacturers have improved the texture to enhance grip, ensuring a safer and more comfortable bathroom experience. So placing a rug in your bathroom can minimize the danger of accidents.
