Bathroom flooring has to suit a wet, frequently used room. The best choice depends on where the water goes, the condition of the subfloor, the household's needs, and how the floor meets the shower and adjacent rooms.
Think beyond the sample
Look at the finish when wet, how its texture feels underfoot, the amount of grout and cleaning it requires, and its compatibility with the planned installation. A shower floor has different demands from the dry portion of the room; slope, drainage, and wet-area construction must be addressed as a system.
Plan the transitions
Floor height at the doorway, toilet flange, vanity, and shower entry affects both appearance and everyday use. If easier access matters, discuss threshold and slip-resistance goals while the layout is being planned. A beautiful material does not compensate for an unsuitable substrate or rushed preparation.
