Reasons to consider stone tiles for your bathroom renovation
When it comes to renovating your bathroom, the flooring in which you will be choosing is a crucial part of your project! There are plenty of flooring options to choose from and we are well aware that it can sometimes become a little overwhelming when trying to decide on the perfect floor. There’s one thing we are sure of though - stone is a great option for any bathroom. Here are our top 5 reasons why you should consider stone for your bathroom.
- Durability
With bathrooms being an area of the home that experience more moisture, frequent foot fall and exposure to various cleaning products, it’s imperative to choose flooring which you know will withstand the impact of this. The durability and natural waterproof properties of stone make it a great option for any bathroom, WC or wet room that you may be thinking about renovating. When properly sealed and maintained, stone can withstand the rigors of daily use with ease, being sure to stay in place for many years to come.
- Timeless Elegance
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again! Stone is a beautiful, natural material that is timeless in not only its appearance but its feel too, bringing a type of elegance that is not found in many other flooring options. It is an option that is sure not to go out of fashion and can adapt easily to multiple interior settings no matter how modern or traditional. This makes it a great choice for someone who likes to switch up their interiors but doesn’t want the price tag of new flooring everytime!
- Low Maintenance
Stone flooring is relatively low maintenance when looked after correctly. If you are curious about how to clean your stone floor, you may be interested in reading our blog all about cleaning here. In order to maintain your flooring long term, you will also need to reseal your stone every 5-10 years depending on wear and tear. You can find out more about how to reseal your stone floor here.
- Appeal
Stone flooring is an investment and one that you will not regret! That being said, if you decide to move home and have to leave your flagstones behind, not all is lost! Stone flooring can be really appealing to potential buyers if you plan to sell your home, and could possibly add value to your home too.
- Design Options
Although every stone flooring is different and unique in its own way (no stone tile is ever the same!). We are firm believers that stone can be really adaptable to any home design, especially within a bathroom and we are sure that we have a stone that matches your interior vision. If you are looking for a rustic look, you may want to consider stones such as our Old Farmhouse Green or Old Cathedral, but if you have a more modern style, some great options could be Provence or Highland Grey.
