Water and humidity make the bathroom a challenging environment for wood floors. While hardwood floors are suitable for most rooms in your home, they are not recommended for wet rooms with bathrooms, toilets, and laundry.
A number of alternative flooring options are available that are better suited to areas with a high exposure to water, such as bathrooms.
