Bathroom floor tile

Choosing the right bathroom floor tile is crucial for creating a beautiful, durable, and functional space. As a dustless floor removal specialist in Austin, we have seen our fair share of bathroom floor tiles and understand the advantages and drawbacks of various options. The key factors to consider when selecting bathroom floor tile are water resistance, slip resistance, durability, style, and ease of maintenance.

Porcelain and Ceramic Tile

These are some of the most popular choices for bathroom floors due to their water resistance, durability, and variety of designs. Porcelain tiles, in particular, are denser and less porous than ceramic, making them more suitable for areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms. Both types come in a range of colors, sizes, and styles, including tiles that mimic natural materials like wood or stone. The versatility of porcelain and ceramic tiles makes them great for homeowners looking to create a customized look. Porcelain is also more resistant to chipping and cracking, which adds to its long-term durability. However, the finish is smoother than that of ceramic.  The finer grain of porcelain will be smooth to the touch so may not be the best for the floor.

Natural Stone Tile

Such as marble, slate, and travertine offer a luxurious and timeless look. Each piece of stone is unique, adding character to the bathroom floor. However, natural stone is porous and more prone to staining and water damage compared to other options, so it requires sealing and regular maintenance to keep it looking its best. Stone tiles can also be slippery when wet, so it is important to choose a finish that provides adequate traction. While natural stone can give your bathroom an elegant and upscale appearance, the added maintenance and cost may not be ideal for everyone. It’s important to consider the long-term upkeep if you choose this type of bathroom floor tile.

Vinyl Tile

Like LVT have improved significantly in quality and appearance over the years and are an affordable option for bathroom flooring. They are water-resistant, comfortable underfoot, and available in a wide variety of styles, including those that mimic the look of wood, stone, or ceramic tile. Vinyl is also relatively easy to install, making it a popular choice for DIY projects. However, vinyl tiles may not offer the same long-term durability as ceramic or porcelain tiles, and they can be more prone to scratches and dents. For homeowners who want a budget-friendly solution with a range of design choices, vinyl is still a practical option.

Glass Tile

These can be an eye-catching choice for a bathroom floor due to their glossy, reflective surfaces. They are typically used more for accenting or creating unique designs rather than covering the entire floor. Glass tiles are resistant to water and stains, making them suitable for bathrooms. However, they can be slippery and prone to cracking if heavy objects are dropped on them.

Mosaic Tile

They often come in small sizes and can be made from various materials such as glass, ceramic, or porcelain. Their small size and numerous grout lines make them a great option for slip resistance. Mosaic tiles can be used to create intricate designs or patterns that add character to the bathroom floor. They are also versatile enough to be used on both floors and walls, creating a cohesive look.

What’s Best for Your Bathroom Floor?

When choosing the best bathroom floor tile, consider your budget, style preferences, and how much maintenance you’re willing to perform. For homeowners with pets and children, durability and water resistance should be the top priorities. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are generally the most practical choices due to their balance of style, cost, and performance. If you prefer a more luxurious look, natural stone tiles are an excellent option but require more care.   If you ever need to remove your existing bathroom floor tile to upgrade to a different style, we at Austin Dustless LLC specialize in dust-free tile removal. Our dustless technology ensures that you won’t have to deal with the mess and health risks associated with traditional tile removal. Whether you’re switching to wood-look porcelain tile or opting for classic ceramic, we can help you achieve a smooth, clean surface for your new installation.

“We had an exceptional experience with Austin Dustless LLC. Our team included Peter, the supervisor, and his fantastic team: Isreal, Bryan, Emilio, and Victor. They showed up around 9:00am (we are 45min-1 hr outside Austin) and worked straight until 2:30pm, getting all of the tile removed neatly and completely dustless. It was 100% worth having them come prior to having our new hardwood flooring installed. Austin Dustless has such a wonderful reputation that even our installer and others recommended them to us. Our installers came the next day and were extremely happy with how clean the work area was for them. Having Austin Dustless was a healthy option for us as well since we are living in our home during our remodel. Our two high-anxiety-sensitive-prone cats got through the noise of the vacuum and hammering equipment much better than expected. We highly recommend this great company! Five stars!!”

You’ve just bought your home or you are closing on it soon. You want to add some personal touches to make it your own, like painting the interior walls and installing new flooring. Most people recommend these home renovations should be done after you move in. This is so you can live in the house, get a good feel for it and then make the decisions on what you really want to do with it. Not a bad idea but some things are not going to change if you wait and would be so much easier if done first.

Why not get started before you move in? An empty house means your furniture won’t be in danger of paint, dust or other damage. Also you or your contractors can take advantage of an open space which can save time and money. Most importantly, you and your family can limit exposure to renovation dust and odors that can be hazardous to your health.

Try tackling these home improvement projects before the moving into your new-to-you home.

1. Kitchen and or Bathroom Remodeling

   There are many simple ways of personalizing and updating, outdated looks in any home.

   • New appliances
   • Countertops and vanities
   • Changing out fixtures
   • Changing out hardware

   Classic hardware is a worthwhile upgrade or to give your bath a designer touch with matching accessories. New appliances that match will always make a difference and updating the countertops. Any one of these if needed will help subtly enhance the look and feel of the entire space. For cabinetry, look at stock or semi-custom options available from the big-box stores (such as KraftMaid at Lowe’s and Pegasus at Home Depot) or a kitchen-and-bath retailer. To snag a deal, ask about damaged or undelivered orders. Check Craigslist.org, too. If your cabinet is in good shape, you might want to replace just the top.

   Health tip:If you are going with refaced cabinets, the formaldehyde glues will off-gas in your home for a long time, so choose cabinets labeled NAUF, which means no added urea formaldehyde. Make health a priority and ventilate the house.

2. Flooring Installation & Refinishing

   What kind of floors are in the home now and what look are you going for? New flooring feels clean and looks nice too. This is an easy way to add your personal touch and feel right at home when the moving truck arrives.

   • Tile
   • Carpet
   • Wood
   • Veneer or Laminate

   In an older home, you might be lucky enough to find something salvageable underneath that old carpeting. Like wood that can be refinished!

   Health tip: For all the DIY people reading this take precautions when prepping, sanding and applying the new finish.  Go to Tree House and find out what the best product is that is safe to use in a home. Make health a priority and ventilate the house.

   If you chose to installing new carpet, be aware off-gassing again. Installing wool as opposed to synthetics may help but don’t forget to make health a priority. If the house already has carpet and you are going to keep it, be sure to get it professionally cleaned (you don’t even want to think of what is lurking within).

   Remove that old tile! If your new home has old tile you would like to replace, definitely get rid of it before you move in.  Living in a house while tile removal is going one is not fun for anyone.

   Health tip: The dust from tile removal is very unhealthy and is hard to get rid of. At Austin Dustless we help to help keep the dust from going airborne and getting into every part of your home including the ventilation system.

3. Painting Walls

   Changing the color is a simple project that can personalize your home for little cost.

   • Remove any unwanted color
   • Add color to a house with white everything
   • Add an accent wall to a room
   • Personalize an office or kids room

   There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to improve the look and feel of a room. Finding the perfect paint color can change the way you feel about any room. Paint can make a room brighter, bigger, feel cleaner or it can make it feel dark and small. Again this is better to do before the home is full of furniture and wall art.

   Consider these other tips to make your painting experience healthy for everyone in your home.

   Health tip: Use fans and keep your windows open when painting to help prevent your home from filling up with paint fumes. Choose water-based over oil-based paint whenever possible. Keep pregnant women and young children away from freshly painted rooms. Let it air out for at least 3 days.
