Many homeowners in Texas ask us what we think about installing hardwood flooring in a bathroom? The answer we give is it depends. As a Galveston flooring contractor we tell our customers to consider the following.

1)      Will the hardwood be installed in a bathroom that doesn’t have a tub or shower?

2)      Are you installing the flooring in a main bathroom that will be used frequently?

3)      Would it be an inconvenience to repair a portion of your flooring as a result of leak from a toilet, tub, shower or sink?

4)      Will the hardwood flooring be in a bathroom that requires regular or occasional mopping?

The benefits of hardwood is the low maintenance, they are easy to keep clean and their timeless beauty. No scrubbing of grout lines with harsh chemical products required. There are several options to keep your floors looking their best. Sweeping with a nylon broom, vacuuming, using a dust mop and for more stubborn stains or spills a damp mop will do the trick.

By taking the time to ask yourself these questions will help you decide if hardwood flooring in your bathroom is the right choice for you.
