What's a good alternative to Tile in a Bathroom Floor?

During the summer months just add a little water and the bathroom will stay nice and cool. By microwaving your dirt and sand you will keep bacteria to a minimum. And of course the cost is minimal compared to other surfaces...

Now that's what I like, some creativity.

When we were browsing on the 'net looking at places out there, we noticed alot of homes have carpet. EEeeewwww....

You could go with a linoleum product. They've come a long way since the garbage of the late seventies and early eighties.

You probably already have this planned, but in the full bath/baths, put in a heat lamp just outside the shower/tub so when you're drying off you have that nice warm heat bathing you. That should help if you have to use tile.

I'd use tile with multiple rugs.

Didn't you get my email about the flooring guy? Just call him and ask. He may have some really cool ideas for a bathroom floor.

Prefinished hardwood.

NO laminate. It won't hold up in the humidity of a bathroom.

There are some really good "peel and stick" slate looking tiles out now that are NOT laminants (printed pattern with a clear gloss laminate top) - they are made by solid melted stock and are tough as nails. They stay room tempreture and are easy to "fix" in the event you have a water problem. Most people can not tell that it is fake until you tell them. They even have grout lines and everything.

They are a nice, affordable easy to maintain floor.
