Porcelain Tile
When it comes to tile flooring in Charlotte (as well as across the United States) porcelain tile is one of the most popular ones that you’ll see homeowners choose. It comes in a lot of different styles and colors and is not porous, meaning that it doesn’t take in water as easily as the tile that’s mostly compared to it, ceramic.
This would probably make porcelain a better choice for your bathroom tile flooring, because of the fact that it’s so durable. Porcelain tile has been around for a very long time, and if you choose to use it for your tile flooring in Charlotte NC during your bathroom remodel, you’d be making a very wise choice as far as picking a tile that has great longevity.
Most homeowners want to know what options they have when it comes to porcelain tile as far as style and price go. When you contact our bathroom contractors at Charlotte Bathroom Remodeling, they’ll be happy to go through what the realistic cost of a bathroom remodel in Charlotte is, based on the design and layout you ultimately want, as well as how large or small your bathroom remodel will be.
Ceramic Tile
If you have your mind on a ceramic tile installation in Charlotte NC, you may want to truly think it through before using it for your bathroom flooring, being that ceramic tile itself is actually quite porous. And, being that it takes in water much easier than porcelain, our bathroom remodeling contractors sometimes suggest to homeowners that they do not use ceramic tile for their tile flooring.
This is not to say that you cannot use it in the bathroom area, because you always have the option of lining walls with it. But, if your bathroom has a lot of traffic, you have to realize that there’s a chance that over time the tile can potentially take in moisture that could eventually damage it, crack it, and have you replacing it, which in the end is more money out of your pocket.
Depending on the finish of your ceramic tile flooring, you’ll see more footprints and such in your bathroom, and at times maybe even more stains. That being said, if your bathroom does not have a lot of people using it then ceramic tile flooring may do you just fine. The good news is that ceramic tile is very easy to maintain (just as easy as porcelain), and how easily the tile attracts stains all really depends on the type of finish that it has.
Subway Tile
Just because subway tile originated in the early 20th century in Manhattan subways (when the originators of that mode of public transportation needed an effective way to keep the stations clean), it doesn’t mean that our ceramic tile contractors in Charlotte NC don’t get requests for it from southern homeowners! In fact, it is one of the most frequently considered types of tile by Charlotte locals for the same reason that those early subway engineers wanted it… because it only takes a few minutes to get rid of stains on smoothly finished subway tile.
When you envision subway tile, you probably think of the sort of brick-looking tile of all different colors. But, when many southern homeowners decide to use it for their bathroom tile flooring in Charlotte NC, they’ll usually choose an alternate style such as different color hexagon shapes on the floor, coordinating those colors with the rest of their bathroom layout.
It’s also stunning for the floor tiling to go halfway up the wall behind bathroom vanities, or to run the same color subway tile flooring directly into the shower, which will definitely turn heads of your visitors for a very unique bathroom renovation look.
Natural Stone
Natural stone tile flooring in Charlotte NC is one of the most requested by southern homeowners. The natural look of it conveys the outdoors, and many folks decide to use this theme for their entire bathroom renovation. There are many types of natural stone floor tiling, and two of the most popular ones are marble tiles and granite tiles. But, people also sometimes want to use limestone or travertine tiles for their bathroom flooring, and there are several different tones, shades and styles of these types of natural stone.
Natural stone has been used as flooring for centuries, and its rustic look and durability is why many homeowners gravitate to it for the flooring in their bathrooms. One of the most popular styles that gets requested from our bathroom remodeling contractors at Charlotte Bathroom Remodeling are the pebble-style bathroom floors. This is a popular one that actually looks like pebbles across the floor, and are set in specific patterns and variations to coordinate with your entire bathroom renovation layout.
Vinyl
Vinyl tile bathroom flooring sometimes gets a bad rap, being that in many cases some homeowners feel that it is not of high quality. But, the truth is there are several different types of luxury vinyl tile that are of great durability, and will also cost you a lot less if you’re trying to save money on your bathroom renovation.
Vinyl tile for the bathroom will benefit someone who doesn’t want to, say, step out on a cold floor fresh out of the shower, being that vinyl stays temperate most of the year. This would be especially true in a warm place, such if you were getting your bath remodel in Charlotte, NC, and even in the winter months the vinyl tile flooring would reflect the temperature of your house as you heat it.
Vinyl tile is also durable in that when compared to ceramic tile it’s less easily damaged. For example, if you drop something heavy on ceramic tile flooring, then you’re stuck with the crack to fix, whereas with vinyl you wouldn’t have to worry about any cracking.
If you are having trouble trying to decide what style of vinyl tile you want, or if you are trying to figure out whether you want to utilize it at all in your home bathroom remodel, our experienced bathroom contractors at Charlotte Bathroom Remodeling will gladly give you suggestions that would benefit your renovation project, so don’t hesitate to ask!
