The Best Material Options For Commercial Bathroom Flooring
The floors of public and commercial bathrooms use materials with a specific set of properties. They should be naturally resistant to liquid penetration with little to no upkeep required. They should also be durable enough to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining a visually- pleasing appearance that complements the interior of these spaces.
Read on as we list the best material options for public or commercial bathrooms.
Concrete
Concrete is a low-cost flooring solution for commercial bathrooms that often comes with a subfloor underneath the surface. It’s relatively inexpensive to treat using a wide array of stains and polishes. However, it requires regular sealing to prolong its water-resistant capabilities.
Vinyl
Vinyl is also a low-cost flooring solution known for its resilience. Water- and stain-resistant, it’s easy to clean and maintain. Vinyl flooring is available in different colors and profiles, some of which even mimic the appearance of natural stone and hardwood. A notable drawback of this flooring material, however, is its propensity to fade over time.
Natural Stone
Slate and other natural stone products have a unique, dimensional texture that provides traction even in wet environments such as bathrooms. These materials can enhance the overall atmosphere of both the actual space and its immediate surroundings. While they’re strong and durable, they’re also porous, which means they’ll require regular sealing every year.
Polyaspartic Floor Coating
The bathroom floor materials mentioned have their benefits and drawbacks, but they’re not as effective at protecting against heavy wear and tear as polyaspartic floor coating systems, which are designed to not only enhance the visual appeal of your bathroom floor, but also to protect it from heavy foot traffic. They also offer superb long-term slip protection and water resistance that can help prevent slipping and mold growth.
