Why We Recommend Tile for Bathroom Floors
Bathrooms deal with plenty of moisture, which is one of the main reasons we recommend tile for bathroom floors. When it’s installed properly, tile handles water well, doesn’t warp like some wood-based flooring can, and can last for many years with the right care.
Saskatoon’s weather makes moisture even more of a concern. During the colder months, hot showers, condensation, and melting snow from boots can all add extra moisture to your bathroom.
The style of home also plays a role in the type of tile our customers choose. In older homes around Broadway and Nutana, we often see homeowners looking for tile that works with the character of the house while still offering the durability they need. In newer areas like Stonebridge, Rosewood, and Willowgrove, large-format tile and clean, modern designs are popular.
No matter the style of your home, tile is a practical choice for a bathroom floor and can hold up well to everyday use.
Water damage can happen even with a well-maintained bathroom. A small leak under a vanity or a problem with a shower pan can turn into a much bigger issue if it goes unnoticed.
If you ever need to replace flooring after water damage, our team can also help with insurance claims for flooring replacement and guide you through the process.
Choosing Bathroom Tile? Start With These Four Things
A tile may look great in a photo, but that doesn’t always mean it’s the best choice for your bathroom. Before you settle on a color or pattern, think about how the tile will handle moisture, how it will feel underfoot, and how well it will work with the size of your space.
Here are four things we recommend considering:
1. Slip Resistance
A wet bathroom floor can get slippery quickly, so the finish matters. We usually recommend a matte or textured tile instead of a high-gloss finish, especially around the tub and shower.
Smaller tiles, such as penny rounds and hexagons, can also be a good option. The extra grout lines provide more areas for your feet to grip.
2. Water and Moisture Resistance
Bathrooms see a lot of water, so choosing a tile that can handle moisture is important. Porcelain is a popular option because it has very low water absorption and doesn’t require the regular sealing that some natural stone does.
Proper installation matters, too. When tile is installed over the right waterproofing system, it can handle the moisture and everyday use that comes with a busy bathroom.
3. Room Size and Tile Format
The size of your bathroom can help determine which tile format will work best. In a smaller bathroom, large-format tile can create a more open look because there are fewer grout lines. In a larger bathroom, mosaics and penny rounds can add some texture and visual interest.
There’s no single tile size that works for every bathroom. Our team can help you look at different options and see what makes sense for your space.
4. Comfort Underfoot
Tile can feel cold, especially on a January morning in Saskatoon. If you want warmer floors, consider adding in-floor heating during your bathroom renovation.
Ceramic and porcelain tile work well with radiant heating systems. The heat underneath the tile can make a noticeable difference when you’re walking around the bathroom during the colder months.
