Why choose luxury vinyl flooring for your bathroom

According to T.S. Eliot’s famous poem, “April is the cruellest month”. And while he wasn’t exactly referring to the weather, there’s no denying that April can be mighty dispiriting for those of us desperate for some sun after a cold, wet winter! However, despite the dreaded April showers, spring is the perfect time to start planning and prepping interior renovations. And your bathroom is the ideal room to prioritise.

And, for many different reasons, luxury vinyl flooring is an exceptionally suitable choice for the bathroom in particular.

Luxury vinyl flooring comes in two main formats: luxury vinyl tiles – also known as LVT – and luxury vinyl planks (LVP). It’s a synthetic flooring material that comprises multiple layers. These might include fibreglass, plastic or PVC, and it’s the thickness of these layers that affects its durability, stability and feel. Each layer has a different function. For example, there’s usually a foundation/base layer; a core vinyl layer, a printed design layer; and a top protective wear layer.

Luxury vinyl flooring really comes into its own where heavy traffic areas, such as bathrooms, are concerned. That’s because, in addition to looking fantastic with a choice of various styles available, it resists scratches, it tends to be non-slip and it's water-resistant too. Wood warps when wet, and certain types of tiles can be super slippery when splashed. But luxury vinyl flooring is a practical choice as it's naturally resistant to water and humidity. So you can bathe and shower in confidence, knowing your bathroom vinyl floor won’t get damaged or deteriorate on contact with water. Luxury bathroom vinyl flooring is also compatible with underfloor heating and its one of those less expensive flooring options.

And while this sort of vinyl is very hard-wearing for a floor, it’s also very easy to keep clean.
