Summer is the perfect time to take care of a bathroom remodel. And one of the best things you can do for your bathroom and your home in general is to replace the floors with beautiful and durable materials. One of the best options for homeowners in the greater Denver area is luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. While this flooring can be used anywhere in your home, it’s especially useful in the bathroom. Here’s why you should consider using LVT in your home’s bathrooms.
It’s Water-Resistant
No matter how careful you are, water will get on your bathroom floors. Whether it’s from splashes around your sink or drips as you get out of the shower, that water can turn into a major hazard with some flooring types. With LVT, normal amounts of splashing and drips won’t be an issue. The material is highly water-resistant and won’t absorb the excess moisture. That means your bathroom will be less likely to experience mold, mildew, and water damage that could be costly to fix.
It Won’t Warp
Bathrooms can be the warmest and most humid rooms in your home. This combination of heat and humidity could cause some flooring materials, like old hardwood floors, to warp and become damaged. Luxury vinyl tile can stand up to high levels of humidity and heat without warping or suffering damage. That means your floors will look like new for longer and you’ll be able to avoid warping in the floor which can create tripping hazards that could be dangerous for your loved ones.
It’s Easy to Clean
Luxury vinyl tile is easy to clean and maintain. All you’ll need to do is sweep or vacuum your floors weekly and mop them with a gentle detergent as needed. This will keep the buildup of dirt, grime, and soap scum to a minimum. Even better, you can safely use a steam mop to blast away bacteria and germs without having to use potentially caustic cleaners.
It’s Warmer Than Tile
Luxury vinyl tile can be much warmer underfoot than natural stone tile or ceramic tile. This means your bathroom will be more comfortable throughout the day, especially during the colder months. Your feet will be more comfortable, and you won’t have to deal with the unpleasant sensation of shocking your bare feet on ice-cold tile. Even better, you’ll be able to get rid of those often-annoying bathroom rugs that always seem to be a magnet for dirt, grime, and hair.
It’s Affordable
LVT can be an affordable flooring option. It often costs less than natural stone tile or hardwood plank flooring, so you’ll save money on your renovation. And the more money you save, the easier it will be to pay for any other renovations you have planned. Keep in mind that the amount you’ll pay will largely depend on how much flooring you need and the quality of the vinyl tile you’re buying. Higher quality tile can cost more, but it’s well worth the investment.
