Sheet Vinyl for Small Bathroom

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

I am remodeling a small (roughly 8' X 10') bathroom and I will probably use a vinyl product on the floor since the home is pier and beam. The bathroom was never finished and I just removed some piecemeal plywood from the floor and have a fairly firm plan for placement of the toilet, shower, and vanity. I am single and retired so my bathroom space needs aren't great and I don't have plans to sell the house so I am doing this according to my tastes.

One challenge I have is the currentl floor isn't free of nail heads and plywood seams so I will be doing some additional surface prep before sheet vinyl can be installed. I know any subfloor imperfections will show through after a little wear. The following Perfection vinyl tile would probably cover all of the imperfections in the subfloor but might leak a little at some point.

Lowes sells some 20"X20" vinyl tile (Perfection) I like. It's supposed to be water-resistant but might seep a little water if I had a leaky shower door. I really like the cork pattern

I think I would prefer to go with a sheet vinyl for its water proofness but the patterns are so retro...and I just don't want it to look like the old time linoleum. Since the room is small, I think wood plank patterns and most of the tile patterns for sheet vinyl will be too busy.

This is a style I do like. It's Stainmaster Grove Park Marble

I like a few patterns that didn't have "grout" lines and just looked like continuous stone.

like this one by Armstrong

Are there some manufacturers out there someone is aware of who have some more natural patterns available?

Thanks!
