Keeping The Bathroom Clean With Tiles

Hygiene is an increasingly important aspect of our lives; with nasty new viruses

cropping up every day and the chemicals in our food constantly weakening our immune systems, it's a priority that we cut down on potential spots where bugs and moulds can grow.

The bathroom is one of the most common places for this to happen; water can be the home to many of these bugs and microbes and if they are given the chance, they will grow, turning our bathrooms into a greenhouse for all kinds of nasty moulds and spores, which in turn can make people sick, not to mention looking unpleasant. Carpeting the bathroom is one of the easiest ways for this to happen, but it can easily be prevented by using tiles instead.

Where a carpet will absorb spilled water, allowing it to breed harmful microbes - especially with the warmth we all love so much in this room -tiles will not, making them a much more hygienic option. As well as the advantages from a health standpoint, using floor tiles instead of carpet also means that your flooring will last much longer. Water damage is one of the fastest ways to ruin a carpet, and carpeting is expensive, whereas a tiled floor will stand the test of time, will be easier to clean and won't breed harmful germs.

Tiling your floor also provides a large number of aesthetic advantages; many sellers offer tiles in a wide range of styles, designs and colour schemes, making it possible to find a floor which will fit your bathroom's design, whatever style you've gone for. Carpeting your bathroom is a recipe for ill health and a short-lived floor and many of the other options such as parquet look cheap, making tiling the floor the best option from a wide range of perspectives.

Often available for less than you may be expecting, tiles are the perfect alternative to the more easily damaged and potentially health-threatening options of carpet, parquet and laminate flooring. In the current economic climate, not to mention the increasing levels of disease throughout the world, it makes sense to save money and eliminate places where germs can breed. As well as this, a tiled floor will look better for longer, be easier to clean and also increases the likelihood that you will be able to find a design or colour scheme which fits your bathroom's aesthetics. Ultimately, the advantages offered by tiling the bathroom floor far outweigh those of many other flooring options for this room, making them the perfect choice.
