Your bathroom is one of the busiest rooms in your home. You are ready to upgrade the look of your outdated bathroom and want to choose products that can withstand the moisture and temperature fluctuations that occur in the bathroom. Vinyl plank or tile flooring is a great option for your bathroom for several reasons. Here are a few.

Porcelain tile, travertine, or even marble are some traditional choices for bathroom flooring. Unfortunately, these options are also very expensive and if you are updating multiple bathrooms, you won't have much left in your remodeling budget. Vinyl flooring is a far less expensive option that will allow you to create an amazing bathroom without breaking the bank.

Additionally, if you want to install heated or radiant flooring in your bathroom, vinyl is a great option that will withstand the higher temperatures without warping or becoming damaged.

One of the best reasons to choose vinyl flooring is that the product is so easy to maintain and clean. Your bathroom floor can get very dirty, and, in most cases, you can use a broom and an all-purpose mopping solution to get rid of any stains, dirt, and other debris that can land on your bathroom flooring. With the right care and cleaning routine, the vinyl flooring in your bathroom can last decades.
