IS STONE THE BEST CHOICE FOR YOUR BATHROOM FLOOR?

As you are deep in the planning for your bathroom renovation you will eventually need to choose a material for the floor. Natural stone tends to go perfectly with beautiful, modern, one-piece toilets as we have seen countless times over the years, but have you ever considered using stone for your floors?

CHOOSE STONE FLOORS AS THE PERFECT COMPANION TO YOUR ONE PIECE TOILET

In our opinion you have spent a lot of time choosing your accessories, eco-friendly toilets, and more, so why not spend a little more time finding the right flooring? Stone is a material that is meant to be walked on, and it only makes sense to turn to the most durable, and most beautiful product you can find for what could be considered the most important room in your home.

THE BENEFITS OF STONE FLOORS

You know that you want to bring a natural feel to your bathroom, but there are many other outstanding benefits to using stone. The first, of course, is that it looks great. Stone floor manufacturers have been able to develop ceramic tiles that look just like stone, for example, and they sell quite nicely with good reason. While this is a decent choice, consider that tile cannot re-create the look and feel of stone, along with the natural imperfections. By choosing real stone you get that authentic feeling and you will even raise the resale value of your home.

ISSUES YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

There are certain issues with using stone as a bathroom floor material and the first is moisture. This is a major issue with materials like fieldstone as they tend to absorb moisture easily, especially in an environment like your bathroom where moisture is at an all-time high. Stone in tubs or bathtub surrounds will be especially at risk and it needs to be properly sealed on a regular basis.
Along with the moisture issue, it is strongly recommended that you do not lay natural stone on shower pans due to the friction issue. While it looks beautiful, the moment it becomes wet, it becomes a nearly frictionless surface – especially if you are using honed natural stone for your bathroom.

COMPLICATED BUT WORTHWHILE

Ultimately, the installation of stone in your bathroom is going to be more complicated than any other item, including that beautiful Eago toilet you’ve picked out but when done properly, it’s well worth it.
