Bathroom renovation is a big deal no matter what the budget is. Be sure that you are not just choosing materials that look lovely and are convenient to use, but that will also be durable especially when it comes to flooring. So it’s important to see your options.
Top Flooring Options for Your Bathroom Renovation in Sydney
1. Tiles
Ceramic, porcelain and stone tiles are very good options for bathrooms if your budget is enough for high priced materials. They are available in different designs, colours tile can even be used for accent pieces like mosaics or special designs. Tile flooring is essentially a permanent solution, so an expert installation is really recommended.
However the downside is, tile can be super slippery when it’s wet and very cold in the winter. It can also make an inconsistent surface due to differences in the floor. As mentioned, budget is a major consideration when choosing tile floors because they can be very costly. If you select a flooring material that you end up not satisfied with, it’s another major process to remove and replace it. You will also be on the lookout on maintaining the grout lines most of the time. But generally, tile is one of the best choices for a home where you plan to stay for a long time. Just make sure you choose a neutral pattern or the one you simply will not regret in the end.
2. Laminated Flooring
Laminated flooring has been a top pick for bathroom renovation in Sydney and homeowners for a long time. It’s easy to install and has a wide range of designs, each that look very nice and are the real deal. This material can be very durable, just make sure to choose a laminate floor material that’s also good for wet spaces.
But certain types of laminated floors can be delicate if there is someone in your home who is disabled or uses accessibility like walkers. The material is actually very smooth, with minimal or no texture which can lead to falls and slips. And if you choose a laminate floor that’s not made for wet spaces, your floor will crumple the seams and fail in no time. It’s worth double and triple checking the rating and feedback of the floor you're planning to choose.
Laminated flooring is an affordable option if you are not looking for something that will be permanent. If you think that you will be updating your bathroom semi-regularly, the price range and lifespan will definitely be good.
3. Concrete
This is less commonly being used in homes in general. Concrete is a high ranking product for bathrooms that are on a first level of the house built on a slab foundation or in the basement. Concrete flooring nowadays can be stained with almost any colour you prefer and buffed to a different type of finish and resistant to a huge range of bathroom issues. If you know your floor will be concrete, you can plan for a floor drain that will allow you to hose off the floor now and then.
But it’s really important to take note that when concrete is the foundation of your home, it most likely has a “rough” finish, not a polished or “smooth” finish like you may want in a bathroom. Despite its versatile and durable nature, some chemicals can affect concrete which creates another big repair process. Concrete can have cracks as a home stand, which will require another work to be fixed which is kinda messy. In a home that’s already settled or one where you do not mind having someone come back in to work on the floor, concrete is an excellent choice for a low maintenance option that will last in the long run. You will need to polish some finishes to keep them looking their best, but it’s a smooth and even surface that’s a good option for ageing in place.
4. Sheet Vinyl
It’s a traditional option that might even feel a little bit off trend with regards to a bathroom but you can get a lot of miles out of sheet vinyl flooring without spending a lot of money. For smaller bathrooms or minimalist small homes, this could be a good choice which will provide years of service with the right care. Sheet vinyl comes in different qualities and designs, you can pick something a bit tougher than contractor’s grade if you are upgrading the same material.
But on the downside, sheet vinyl can tear easily if you have sharp objects in your bathroom like chairs without rubber feet. If not installed correctly, water can get under the floor and create a lot of problems. Although it seems like an easy bathroom DIY project, sheet vinyl needs an experienced installer.
Do not be confused regarding peel-and-stick vinyl tiles with continuous sheet vinyl flooring as the two are different even if they are actually made from the same stuff. Peel-and-stick vinyl tiles seldom last long even with good installation and are made to be a temporary solution for your bathroom renovation in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
5. Vinyl Plank Flooring
This is a new flooring choice that’s getting a lot of attention these days. It’s made from either a combination of vinyl flooring and other synthetic materials or entirely of vinyl which is just like sheet vinyl flooring. Like laminated, it’s really easy to install and pretty good for a DIY.
It has few disadvantages though in bathroom settings compared to more permanent options like tile. But you can expect this flooring to last only about 10 years in high activity areas like bathrooms. This is so resistant to water damage, if there is a leak somewhere hidden and water got under the floor, you may not even know it for a long period of time.
As for the budget, vinyl plank is one of the best choices for bathrooms. It’s actually durable even in the most activity-heavy houses, looks great right out of the box and requires very little special treatment to stay in good shape.
