Installing Bathroom Flooring

By Gary Wells

Are you ready for a new bathroom floor? All you need are a few simple guidelines and quality floor tile or linoleum.

Tile works especially well, because any of the pieces that become rotted, mildewed, or damaged are easy to replace without taking up the entire floor. Linoleum may be cheaper, and some people find it a smoother application and fit than tile. Next, buy your supplies at the hardware or flooring supply store. Ask the sales associate for suggestions or help when you go shopping for bathroom flooring needs. Read the directions on the adhesive container as well as guidelines that come with the tile or linoleum. If you haven’t already, check out tips for removing the old flooring, and repair or replace the sub-floor.

Open the windows or run the whole-house fan to provide adequate air circulation to offset fumes from the adhesive and flooring product. Remove any debris from the exposed sub-floor. Keep everyone off the new flooring until the adhesive has set.

After installation, follow manufacturers’ guidelines for cleaning and maintaining your new bathroom floor.

Make the Right Bathroom Flooring Choice

By Richard Chase

There is no one right choice for bathroom flooring. Every situation is going to be different depending on how busy your household is, the ages of the members of your household and your own personal preferences. Money, and how much you want to spend will also factor in to your choice.
