10 beautiful designs for underfoot |

Non-slip bathroom flooring ideas deserve special attention. The material of course must be durable, able to withstand frequent splashes of water, anti-slip underfoot and preferably easy to clean. 

But practicality doesn’t mean boring bathroom ideas, since there are so many solutions that combine style with functionality. High-quality bathroom fixtures and fittings add a luxurious effect, but it is the flooring, especially if non-slip, that really underpins the feel of the space and allows experimentation with color, texture and pattern. 

 

Non-slip bathroom flooring ideas

It makes sense to consider all your bathroom flooring ideas, and especially the non-slip bathroom flooring, as part of a plan at the outset of the project as the best way to create a cohesive scheme.

1. Invest in a virtually indestructible floor

'Large-format porcelain tiles are virtually indestructible, stain resistant and can be used in a wide variety of settings including busy bathrooms,' says Jo Oliver, director at The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse . 'Many of our porcelain slabs come in different finishes, meaning you could have a polished marble effect tile on bathroom walls and a more textured marble effect tile on the floor, for an anti-slip flooring solution.'

2. Pack a stylish punch with a monochromatic color scheme

Black and white can completely alter the feel of a room but getting the balance right is key, especially in a modern bathroom. While monochrome decorating can be tricky to get right, a considered approach will be rewarded by a simple but impactful scheme. Decorating with black and white is a statement in its own right. Monochrome in the bathroom is surprisingly serene as well as stylish. 

'The timeless geometric design of Fired Earth’s monochrome Sorrento tiles will be completely at home in any style of bathroom,' says Colin Roby-Welford, creative director at Fired Earth . 'Made from low-maintenance porcelain, this versatile collection is slip-resistant, so it's a perfect, eye-catching choice for busy family bathrooms and wet rooms. '

3. Opt for on-trend wood-effect flooring

Wood-effect flooring ideas – made from porcelain – are now the material of choice for its natural beauty and warmth; it conjures the quiet luxury of a spa. 

'Porcelain tile options have broadened greatly due to technological advances, anti-slip finishes can now be applied to porcelain as seen in our Kayman range, which has a beautiful wood-effect grain texture that often gets confused for real wood,' informs Jo Oliver, director at The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse . 'The perfect choice for those wanting a low maintenance and safe surface, whilst still creating a beautiful natural wood effect.'

4. Go for a durable stone

As beautiful as they are durable, the right stone floor types will be a valuable addition to your interior scheme. With a reputation for being naturally hardwearing, all stone flooring types are most commonly seen as bathroom floor tile ideas or kitchen flooring ideas. However, stone flooring can work in most rooms of the home.

'With any bathroom project it is worth considering the slip resistance of tiles – a balance of beauty and practicality should be met,' says Isabel Fernandez, director at Quorn Stone . 'In most instances a natural finish is sufficient for bathrooms, however in wet rooms we would always recommend using a porcelain tile in a ‘grip or R11 finish’, this finish is designed to offer more traction in wet room conditions.'

5. Choose a non-slip porcelain option

Technical advances in porcelain and ceramic production have revolutionized the variety of tiles on offer. Faux stone and wood porcelain tiles are now so advanced it’s hard to tell them from the real thing. They are water, stain and scratch resistant, don’t require sealing and come complete with realistic color and graining variations, too.

'Our Galicia porcelain replica-slate tiles offer the beautifully restful qualities of natural slate, complete with rich colour variation and a tactile finish,' says Colin Roby-Welford, creative director at Fired Earth . 'These slip-tested, large format tiles are a cost-effective option for spacious bathrooms and wet rooms.'

6. Lay down large-format tiles – made from concrete

If you're looking for shower tile ideas, large format concrete bathroom flooring will mean fewer grout lines and a cleaner, more seamless look, ideal as spa bathroom ideas with minimal visual clutter.

'Available in huge formats, these super-sized Grande Grey tiles mean there are fewer grout lines to contend with, creating a more flawless finish,' explains Jo Oliver, director at The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse . 'Being made from porcelain these tiles won’t stain, scratch, wear, or crack, as can be the case with real concrete floors. They have an anti-slip finish making them ideal for kitchens and bathrooms and are suitable for use outdoors too.'

7. Factor in a low-maintenance floor

This luxury look comes with a high price tag – consider using marble to add wow-factor to your master bathroom ideas, elevating the look even further by continuing the marble on the walls for a spa-like look that will exude elegance.

‘Due to advances in porcelain technologies, practical tiles don’t have to be boring,' says Louisa Morgan, marketing manager at Mandarin Stone . 'Bright colors, geometric patterns & faux marbles can all be produced with high grip, low-maintenance finishes.’

8. Paint your bathroom flooring

Painting your bathroom floor is not only an excellent way to seal and protect wooden floorboards, it’s a simple and effective way to add colour and personality to a space. Much like ceilings, flooring is often forgotten when planning a scheme, but using a coordinating color on the floor can create a really harmonious finish.

'Bathrooms are a busy area of any home, needing to withstand constant use, so it’s vital you choose a durable and hard-wearing finish such as our ‘Intelligent Floor Paint’, which is available in our full color palette,' says Ruth Mottershead, creative director at Little Greene . 'You can also make your bathroom floor slip-proof; simply add an anti-slip aggregate to your floor paint before painting.

9. Include a luxury vinyl floor in a small bathroom or wet room

Vinyl doesn’t always get the best rep, but the material has myriad benefits, many of which make it a great choice for a bathroom or shower room. This material is improving in quality with new technologies and also offers a wide range of design opportunities that will suit a variety of modern and family bathroom ideas and styles.

'Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) are easy to clean, waterproof, warm and suitable for use with underfloor heating, explains Lucy Tunstall, creative director at Harvey Maria . 'The tiles butt up tightly together and the adhesive creates a watertight bond. They are completely waterproof and slip resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms.'

10. Go for a gorgeous encaustic tile

'When choosing non-slip floor tiles for the bathroom, we recommend our encaustic tiles, which have a matt finish making them naturally slip resistant,' says Lee Thornley, founder of Bert & May . 'Our encaustic range is available in a wide variety of patterns and colours and is incredibly hardwearing and yet has a soft feel underfoot. Encaustic tiles are generally suitable for use in wet rooms and showers, both on the walls and the floors, and are 100% waterproof once sealed.'

‘As well as adding status and color, encaustic tiles were also remarkably practical; in fact, most domestic interior tiled floors have survived 100 years of family wear and tear,' says Andy Triplow, owner of The Vintage Floor Tile Company . 'With a little care, they will probably be good for another 100 years.’

Why choose non-slip bathroom flooring?

The finish on the floor is not only a key area in the finished decorating scheme but also needs to be non-slip underfoot. Be careful of highly polished surfaces, particularly if you are looking at bathroom floor tile ideas and it is a bathroom that will be used by small children, as the floor will become slippery when wet. 

What kind of tile is not slippery when wet?

Technological advances in porcelain and ceramic have revolutionized the variety of non-slip bathroom flooring on offer – and, for the most part, these high-quality materials are not slippery when wet.  

Any bathroom floor covering you choose will have to be waterproof and anti-slip, as splashes are inevitable. Follow the manufacturers’ advice around cleaning and care, especially for natural stone, and invest in the laying of tiles with the correct prep and substrate as well as tanking where necessary. 

What to do if the floor is slippery

Every owner of a tiled floor, whether in a house or office, has a problem with a slippery floor. This is not surprising, since a smooth and even floor, not covered with any carpet and not treated with a special anti-slip solution, readily accepts all inattentive pedestrians in its arms. But, even despite the hospitality of the flooring, falling and being on the floor is a very dubious prospect, fraught with injury from a fall. And here the main question arises - what to do if the floor is slippery?

There are many reasons why floors become slippery and dangerous to people:

It is impossible to predict the appearance and formation of a danger, since, apart from the bathroom, few people expect water to accumulate on the floor in another place in the house. The same applies to melted snow and dirt, the appearance of which is most expected at the entrance to the room, but not in the middle.

Soap and greasy residue is a little trickier, as it always shows up in the wrong place, making it much more likely to get injured from a fall. In fact, it is impossible to determine in advance where the soap solution will not be completely washed off.

In order to avoid unexpected situations while walking, people have come up with many different ways to deal with slippery floors.

What if the floor is slippery?

Currently, there are at least three ways to solve the problem of slippery floors, suitable for all means and possibilities:

In addition, there is a specially designed anti-slip tile, which is recommended to be installed in places with a high probability of water intrusion.

Floor mats

Floor mats and rubber floor mats are the easiest solution to the problem and at the same time the most difficult to maintain. To make the floor less slippery with a rug, simply lay it in the place where water is most likely to accumulate. However, the issue of carpet care is more ambiguous.

Depending on the type of rug and where it is placed, you may need to clean and dry it regularly. This is an unpleasant business, so many try to avoid rugs, because of the large amount of unnecessary fuss. However, this method of dealing with slippery floors has the right to exist, especially in places with little traffic.

The best representatives of this type of rugs are:

By laying mats on slippery floors, you will ensure safety and a pleasant visual appearance of the room.

Vinyl anti-slip tapes

Anti-slip tapes can be called a more universal means of making the floor not slippery. These tapes can be used in many ways, it all depends on the task and the place of its application. Vinyl tapes can be applied both in the bathroom and on the steps of the stairs, so the versatility of their use is a significant plus.

The best anti-slip vinyl tapes for slippery floors are:

All anti-slip tapes have a self-adhesive backing, so that they are quickly and securely attached to the surface. The negative point is their fragility, but you can always replace the worn tape with a new one without any problems.

Liquid anti-slip

Liquid anti-slip is by far the best way to make the floor non-slip. They are applied directly to the floor surface itself, due to which the anti-slip composition penetrates the structure of the material and gives the coating an anti-slip effect. It is customary to treat all floors that are prone to slipping with such means, due to which the likelihood of falling is significantly reduced.

The most effective and popular liquid anti-slippery products include:

The use of anti-slip agents does not harm the surface of the material and does not affect the appearance in any way.

Any of the proposed methods can solve the problem of slippery floors, thereby increasing the safety of pedestrians. Leaving such a problem without a solution is fraught with serious consequences, up to injury from a careless fall, so you should be more careful.

Floor coverings: types, types, differences

Today, the flooring market pleases with a wide range - you can find
floor options for every taste and budget. But how can the buyer not get confused in everything
variety and choose a truly worthy option? In this material we are
consider the main types of flooring, guided by important
performance criteria for price, quality, moisture resistance, environmental friendliness,
strength, wear resistance, noise absorption, the presence of anti-slip
properties, chemical sensitivity, maintainability and
installation complexity.

Laminate

One of the most famous types of flooring won the love of customers
low price, variety of decors and the possibility of self-laying. But with
what features of the laminate do its owners live? This floor is not
moisture resistant and swells when exposed to large amounts of water. Plus, he's
is fragile - the thin surface of the laminate is easily deformed by heels,
animal claws, office chair wheels and so on. By the way, about the composition:
cellulose and wood material are poured with hot resin, which at
curing holds the layers together and gives strength. These components are not
environmentally friendly because the resin contains formaldehyde and other substances harmful to the environment
substance health. After deformation, this type of flooring needs
completely disassemble and reassemble - unfortunately, replace one die is not
succeed. In addition, the laminate has an average score on the
scale. shock noise suppression - when an object falls on it, the sound is clearly audible even
in the next room. This type of floor is also cool to the touch and
it is uncomfortable to walk barefoot, and being wet, it becomes slippery. Laminate
sensitive to chemicals and will fade in the sun.

Linoleum


This floor can be found in old Soviet apartments, however, due to the low
cost, it is often chosen as a floor covering and in modern
houses. Linoleum is a moisture resistant material with good heat and
soundproof, it is easy to lay it yourself. Among the shortcomings -
non-ecological composition with a large number of chemicals, sensitive to
chemicals, low wear resistance, strength and
maintainability - linoleum is easy to damage, however, not easy to fix,
because the patches are visible on the floor surface.

Ceramic tiles

moisture resistance, wear resistance, low sensitivity to chemical
substances, a variety of decors and the ability to realize any design
solutions to life.
Its main disadvantages are the impossibility of self-laying (it is complex and
time-consuming process requiring knowledge and availability of special equipment),
fragility and low sound absorption due to falling objects. In addition, it is cold and uncomfortable to walk barefoot on ceramic tiles, and after it is wet
cleaning is also dangerous - the flooring becomes incredibly slippery.

Parquet

Expensive, beautiful, but very capricious floor that requires careful maintenance
relationship. Parquet does not differ in moisture resistance, wear resistance, resistance
to chemicals and sunlight, difficult to install, noisy.
Carpet and carpet tiles
The difference between these types of floor coverings is only in their size - carpet
presented in the form of a roll, tiles - in the form of squares.
Very pleasant to the touch inexpensive material that can be laid
on one's own. Unlike carpet tiles, carpet is less maintainable -
if the damaged tiles can be replaced, then the carpet must be re-paved, otherwise
the payoff will be significant. Carpeting is excellent at absorbing impact noise,
non-slip. However, this coating also has its drawbacks - low
wear resistance (easy to wipe), susceptibility to sunlight, and,
of course, the complexity of cleaning - carpet and carpet tiles easily accumulate dirt and with
hard to part with it. Therefore, this type of sex is contraindicated for people with
allergies.

Cork floor

Cork is a natural material that is made from oak bark using its
method crushing, heating and pressing. Such a floor is pleasant to the touch, absorbs well
impact noise, has good sound insulation, has a wide range of
decorations at a very low cost. In addition, cork flooring can be laid
independently and repair in case of damage by replacing the plate. To number
disadvantages include low wear resistance and moisture resistance, which this
material is no different.

Screed

polymer mixtures. Performed in advance
prepared concrete base or screed. Initially the material was
designed for floors with heavy load - for industrial, commercial,
warehouse and other facilities. Now they are actively advertised as "liquid
linoleum "- a convenient and durable coating for houses and apartments. Special
of interest is the effect of a three-dimensional image, noticeable only from one
point, but no less beautiful. On a leveled base spreads
non-woven synthetic fabric coated with method
high-precision printing pattern, filled with a transparent polymer mixture.
This is what is called a 3D self-leveling floor.
Such a floor has many advantages - an unlimited number of designs,
wear resistance, moisture resistance, maintainability
Self-leveling floors are cold to the touch, have a non-environmental, harmful to
health, composition, expensive and installation can only be done by
professionals.

Quartz-vinyl floors

No longer a novelty, but, nevertheless, little known to many type of floor
coatings. It also has several names - quartz-vinyl, PVC tile. Have
environmentally friendly composition - quartz sand and polyvinyl chloride, which
used to make medical devices, food containers and
other items. Due to its composition, PVC tiles have a high
strength and wear resistance, 100% moisture resistance and, at the same time,
anti-slip properties. It does not fade in the sun, withstands
exposure to many chemicals, easy to clean. PVC tile extinguishes
impact noise up to 19 dB, so objects falling on the floor will occur
quiet enough. Quartz-vinyl is pleasant to the touch, not cold. It can be
lay it yourself, turning your design ideas into reality
(the material is easily bent), and resort to the help of specialists. Except
In addition, in case of damage, PVC tiles can be easily dismantled and replaced with
whole plate.
