Whether you are designing a new bathroom or planning a bathroom renovation, it’s important to think about all the different design and practical aspects. Apart from things like your toilet, basin, and shower or bath tub, you should also plan your worktops and floors.
Natural stone worktops are incredibly popular in bathrooms. It should go without saying that this material is also popular as flooring option. When considering stone floors for your bathroom, there are a number of great benefits to keep in mind.
Firstly, stone tiles are wonderfully practical. They are durable and can withstand a lot of traffic. They are also easy to clean and they will add great value to any room and home. When you invest in quality natural stone, you are not only investing in the appearance of the room, but also the overall value of your home.
Secondly, if you want to invest in an underfloor heating system, you will enjoy the greatest benefits when you fit natural stone tiles over this system. The stone will heat up wonderfully and retain the heat for maximum comfort in your bathroom. It’s also a great idea when you want to dry your floors quickly. Since stone conducts heat so well, you don’t have to worry about your energy bill skyrocketing due to underfloor heating.
Finally, don’t forget that stone tiles do tend to cost slightly more than other flooring options. However, in the long run, they will earn their keep. Cheaper floors need to be replaced more often which means that you will end up spending more and you’ll have to endure the inconvenience of ripping up and replacing the floor more often.
