If you choose porcelain tile flooring for your Salem, Oregon bathroom remodel, you’ll be making a decision that you will be happy about for years to come. It’s great for bathrooms, being that it’s water resistant. And, when it comes to cleanliness and maintenance, it’s one of the best types of bathroom tile flooring you could get.
You also should know that if your porcelain tiles are not efficiently glazed, then the chances of them getting scratches increases. This glazed wear layer is normally in the color that you choose the tile to be, which comes in a huge range of choices.
Ceramic Tile
One of the reasons that many folks want us to do a ceramic tile installation in Salem is because of the wonderful qualities of this type of tile flooring. For one thing, people love it because of the fact that ceramic tile itself will stay cooler during the hottest months of the year, and as you heat your residence during the winter months it’ll retain heat and stay warm.
It resists consistent moisture very effectively, and if you decide to use it for your Salem Bathroom Remodeling, it’ll be an investment that’s long-lasting, being that ceramic tile is very durable.
Subway Tile
Subway tile is one of the loveliest and most versatile types, and as ceramic tile contractors in Salem we get lots of requests for it. People love incorporating it into their bathroom design plans because of the fact that subway tile reflects the lighting that you choose for your bathroom like no other tile out there.
It got its name from the developers of the early 1900s Manhattan subway system, and they chose this type of tile because it was really easy to clean. It’s the same reason that a lot of folks looking for tile flooring in Salem Oregon choose subway tile for their bathroom remodels, but also because of the hundreds of variations of style and design options that they have available to them.
Natural Stone
Natural stone tile flooring will bring that outdoors feel to your bathroom that many people in the state of Oregon love. Salem, Oregon is a place where people really appreciate nature, and natural stone tile flooring in their bathroom renovations is just something that many folks from the area just are drawn to.
For a sense of elegance that stands the test of time, this is the perfect choice. The variations on each piece of this type of tile was developed by the elements of Mother Earth, which makes natural stone tile bathroom flooring automatically unique within itself.
Vinyl
When it comes to luxury vinyl tile flooring in Salem, Oregon, it happens to be very popular in the area because it is probably one of the most affordable types of bathroom flooring that you can acquire on a budget. Still, vinyl itself when compared to other types of bathroom flooring sometimes gets a bad rap because it has sort of a reputation of being of low quality.
As experienced bathroom remodeling contractors, we can tell you that that couldn’t be more untrue, because vinyl tile flooring is absolutely wonderful to use in your large or small bathroom remodel.
The two types of vinyl tile flooring that we use the most are Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) and Wood Plastic Composite (WPC). The rigid core SPC tile flooring as well as the WPC tile are both outstanding waterproof bathroom vinyl flooring options, and local folks who are planning a home remodeling in Salem, Oregon ask us all the time what the difference is between the two.
Is there a reason that you should choose the rigid core SPC over the WPC vinyl tile flooring? Well, it just depends on the amount of traffic that you are going to have in your bathroom.
With Wood Plastic Composite, the center of the tile is made of a very strong foaming agent, which makes the tile buoyant and very comfortable to walk on. WPC is super durable, and it’s great for any bathroom renovation, being that the mix of lightness and strength also comes with literally hundreds of different shades and designs of the tile for you to choose from.
Stone Plastic Composite steps it up a notch when it comes down to toughness and longevity in any bathroom setting. The layer in the middle of this tile is actually quite thinner than in Wood Plastic Composite, but instead of the foam it has a stone core. The only downside of SPC is the fact that it doesn’t have any foam at all to make it as comfortable under your feet as WPC. So, it won’t be as comfortable to walk on, but it’s actually used more in busy commercial businesses such as restaurants or offices, which means it’s made to be simply durable and long-lasting.
That being said, if you have a high traffic bathroom that’ll be used all the time by lots of family members, then incorporating Stone Plastic Composite tile flooring into your bathroom remodeling would be a wonderful idea.
For both Stone Plastic Composite and Wood Plastic Composite tile flooring in Salem, Oregon, how many scratches the tile takes is going to be dependent upon how resilient it’s wear layer is. The wear layer is the surface of the bathroom tile itself, and they range from 8 mil to 20 mil. “Mil” of course stands for 1/1000th of an inch, so as the homeowner you would have to simply decide how thick you need the wear layer on your bathroom tile flooring to be.
It’s a decision that you’ll be living with for years, and will determine whether or not after several years you’ll have to end up replacing that tile because of it acquiring so many scratches and such.
So, all that being said, during your free estimate session with our bathroom contractors, we’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have as you tell us about how much use the bathroom will actually be getting (from approximately how many people regularly), and help you decide which one of these vinyl tile flooring options would be best for you.
