What’s the Best Bathroom Flooring?

Our Answer

<p>Hey Karen, that’s a great question. There have been many changes in <a href="https://www.moneypit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">laminate flooring</a> over the last few years with one being that more and more laminate is now designed for wet locations like bathrooms.  That said, even water-resistant laminate is not capable of taking a prolonged soaking. The good news is that there are several other new and equally affordable options to consider.  </p>
<p><strong>Engineered Vinyl Plank:</strong> Waterproof, kid-proof, pet-proof! <a href="https://www.moneypit.com/lumber-liquidators-engineered-vinyl-plank-flooring-is-waterproof-and-worry-proof/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Engineered vinyl plank (EVP)</a> has a vinyl veneer with a rigid PVC core which makes it even easier to install. Plus the designs it is available in look as much like wood as the real thing.</p>
<p><strong>Click Ceramic Plank:</strong> Whether your master bathroom is ready for a remodel or your kitchen needs a makeover, NEW <a href="https://www.moneypit.com/lumber-liquidators-click-ceramic-plank-tile-flooring-durable-beautiful/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click Ceramic Plank (CCP)</a> is ideal for any room in your home! These quick-locking ceramic based planks are easy to install – no grout or mortar needed. CCP is great for DIYers and the easy maintenance is a bonus.</p>
<p>These new vinyl and ceramic products look so much like the real thing, I’d skip laminate for a bathroom space and consider them instead.</p>
