Before you choose a floor for your bathroom, check with the manufacturer to find out more about the material. 

Assess Your Budget

Determine how much you want to spend on a new floor, and then measure the square footage in your bathroom to find out how much flooring you will need. There are all kinds of affordable options available, so you will be able to find the perfect fit for your style and budget. 

Consider the Bathroom's Features

It’s important to take your bathroom’s fixtures into consideration when choosing a flooring material. If you are working with a main bathroom with a shower and bathtub, you’ll want to choose a floor that can stand up to a lot of use and moisture. But, if you are adding a new floor to a smaller bathroom or powder room, without a shower, the ability to stand up to moisture may not be as important.

Match Your Home's Style

Choose a floor that matches the style in the rest of your home. This approach will help you create a smooth transition between your bathroom and the rest of your home and help you achieve the overall style you want in your home.

Keep function and style in mind when you shop for a bathroom floor so it will look great for years to come. Find out more about bathroom floors on the Pat Dolan Plumbing website.
