Armstrong Flooring for the Bathroom

Choosing top quality Armstrong floors for the bathroom is a significant part of any remodeling project. Moisture resistant tile is a priority because of high humidity, spilled water and heavy traffic. Bathroom floor coverings must stand up in a damp environment and be trouble-free to clean as well as beautiful.

Laying ceramic floor tiles, mosaic squares or natural stone tile will significantly impact the overall design of your room. A matte finish gives extra traction on slippery floors for safety in front of the shower or bath. Durable marble or slate add value to a contemporary home - and cleaning is simple. Note: tiles tend to be cold on bare feet.

Armstrong sheet vinyl bathroom flooring is popular because it is soft underfoot and will not rip, tear or gouge. Other advantages include resistance to dampness and stains, straightforward installation and easy maintenance.

Resilient linoleum tiles for bathroom floors is regaining popularity - a natural choice, lino is comfortable and quiet and is available in many colors. Caulking and sealing are important steps to keep drips from reaching the subfloor. Install squares with a specially formulated low toxic adhesive.

Neither hardwoods or laminates are suitable for use in bathrooms - hardwood will become marked and stained from water and laminate floors have an MDF layer which can be destroyed if any wetness penetrates.
