The right flooring can add a big boost of style to your bathroom; our expert tips and bathroom flooring ideas will help you select the best surface for your space.
Steve Watson from HGTV's Don't Sweat It shows how to change the look of a bathroom by tiling the floor. You'll need grout, cement board, screws, floor tile, tile saw, mastic trowel, grout trowel, tape measure, hammer, jigsaw, cordless drill and tile scraper. Remove any fixtures from the room, then bash the existing tile and remove it with a tile scraper. Attach the cement board and use the tooth-side of your grout trowel to spread thinset mortar on the floor. Apply tile and use spacers to keep it properly spaced.
Here are five tips on how to choose the right floor for your bathroom. We'll talk about choices from carpet and laminate to hardwood floors, and we'll explore the lower end options of vinyl to high end stone and tile.
Backer board (aka cement board) is sturdy and solid, but it is surprisingly easy to cut. Learn the best methods for cutting the various sizes of backer board, plus, get a few tips on how to install it.
