The Benefits of Having Drop Click Flooring in the Bathroom

Need an elegant but practical solution for your bathroom floor? Drop click luxury vinyl tiles are a stylish, low-maintenance option, perfect for busy modern homes. Learn about the benefits here!

If you’re looking to upgrade your bathroom floor, then drop click vinyl tiles could be exactly what you need. They come in a range of designs that can fit so many different aesthetics, from the warm look of wood to high-end marble finishes, and they’re ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. We’ll go through everything that makes them one of the best choices for your bathroom’s new floor!

1. Easy To Install

You may be wondering what exactly ‘drop click’ refers to. It’s the method of installation that these vinyl tiles use, and it makes installing them a fairly simple DIY project. Instead of using adhesives or grout, you place them down and press firmly until you hear the ‘click’ of them connecting into place. They’re also quite easy to cut to the right length so you can fit them perfectly into your space.

2. Affordable Luxury

Loving the elegant look of wood floors but not sure about the cost? Drop click vinyl flooring is a more affordable option that still looks just as sophisticated and elegant as real wood. Alternatively, you can also get luxury vinyl tiles with marble finishes and other natural stone looks. It can often work out cheaper than ceramic or porcelain tiles too, and being able to install them yourself means you can save on labour costs.

3. Durable & Waterproof

More than anywhere else in your home, having a waterproof floor really matters in your bathroom. You need something that can withstand splashes and spills from bathtime and getting out the shower, so luxury vinyl tiles are an ideal choice since they’re made from non-porous material and won’t absorb water.

They can also withstand daily wear and tear, so they’re suitable for family bathrooms that will experience a lot of foot traffic throughout the day. The top layers of each tile generally include a UV coating, which protects the colour and look of the vinyl, and a wear layer, which resists stains and scratches.

4. Simple Maintenance

Luxury vinyl tiles don’t need harsh cleaning chemicals or a lot of work to keep them looking spotless. Most of the time, they can be maintained by regular hoovering and quickly wiping up any spills. For a deeper clean, you can use a damp mop - just don’t use excessive water, or a steam cleaner, as this can damage the tiles’ layers over time.

5. Comfy Feel

As well as being a practical choice, luxury vinyl tiles often feel a lot comfier underfoot than other flooring options. Since they’re made from several layers of material, they have more of a cushioned feel and they’re a bit softer than regular tiles. This is particularly important for your bathroom - you’re more likely to be barefoot in there than any other room in your home!

6. Soundproofing

Something to consider if you have downstairs neighbours (or you’re upgrading the floors on the upper levels of your home) is soundproofing. While luxury vinyl tiles won’t completely eliminate sound, they do reduce or dampen it quite effectively due to their built-in underlay.
