The most common type of floor in the bathroom is represented by ceramic tile, beautiful to see and able to ensure a long life.
In addition, they are available in a range of colors and designs virtually endless.

However, there are also alternative solutions, such as vinyl tiles, cork or particular types of parquet specific for the bathroom, but in this case the surfaces require a more careful maintenance.

In addition to the floor, also the walls of the shower enclosure must be perfectly impermeable, because in this place are not only dangerous splashing, but also the formation of water vapor.
