Introduction | Modern Interior Design

A modern interior design theme employs crisp clean lines, minimal clutter, and modern materials such as glass and steel.

If you’ve read last week’s post, modern may sound really close to minimalism. Difference lies mainly on modern design prioritising variety over hard utility.

Today’s post explores modernism and its nuances, largely in the context of minimalism.

Modernism and Art | Modern Interior Design

Owing to its more liberal nature than minimalism. Modern design has far more variations and is difficult to pin down.

However, it has some key characteristics that help define it. Like minimalism, modernism began as a revolution against the opulent and ornate designs of Victorian and Gothic designs. This was then was reflected by the modern art revolution.

Modern art can take many forms, from the complex but conventionally beautiful The Starry Night by Vincent Van Goph to the abstract and unconventional Guernica by Pablo Picasso. (Images © WikiCommons)

Guernica by Pablo Picasso (Images © Wikicommons)

Modernism was an extremely broad intellectual movement that branched off into many forms in society such as art, literature, and design.

Examples of modern art include abstract or pop art, like Picasso or Warhol. Modern design forms include or relate to minimalist and Scandinavian designs.

Modernism and Interior Design | Modern Interior Design

The modern design employs the use of bold primary colours to offset neutrals or accent them.

As a consequence, it is often less monochrome than minimalism. This can come in the form of furniture like a red leather sofa, colourful but simple throw pillows. Think IKEA, but that’s Scandinavian design and a matter for another day.

Modern and Scandinavian design share many core concepts with minimalist design, but are more liberal in their use of bold colours. (Image © lamenta3/Flickr)

Living Room | Modern Interior Design

The living room is the face and body of your home. It greets guests as they arrive and provides the living space for bonding and relaxing.

In modernism, open space is a very core concept. An open floor plan minimalises clutter and gives room for movement. Therefore spare elements like long large counters to separate the kitchen or dining area from the living room are preferred over hard elements like walls.

You’ll want to see a large combined space, but have clear defining lines to mark the transition between parts of the house that serve different purposes.

Check out what our Metallic Epoxy Floorings can do for you HERE

Besides the crisp lines and monochrome theme, note the addition of colourful art and a fluffy rug.

However, modernism does include more ‘futuristic’ elements of design than minimalism. Features like chrome, steel, and a single bold colour accent repeated throughout the space to give contrast.

Be careful of employing multiple colours. It may give rise to a messy and overly complex appearance that defeats the simplicity of the modern design.

Multiple bold colours can be used tastefully provided you have a large space to keep them evenly separated.

Go for neutral colour floor rugs, stainless steel barstools for your counter. It should be a monochrome material like Metallic Epoxy or another synthetic. Not forgetting a leather or fabric couch without any patterns.

A glass and steel coffee table would be a perfect addition, as well as LED showroom lights. Go for large floor tiles or a seamless flooring material such as Metallic epoxy.

Bedroom | Modern Interior Design

The core concepts here would not vary too much from the living room. However you may wish to use a darker theme for a soothing and restful environment.

Choose colours such as black or dark brown for walls and bed frames. Keep accents more earth-toned than bright or bold.

Elements of wood can be used more liberally here. Examples of areas would include wall paneling, book shelves, or table counters, alongside steel wall lamps.

Bathroom | Modern Interior Design

Open space may seem hard in a space as small as a bathroom. On the contrary, it is a little simpler because of the straightforward purpose of a bathroom.

A simple glass partition can separate your shower from your main bathroom, while a steel rainfall shower is perfect for the modern and decluttered look.

Dark greys work as well as whites for your floors and walls. Make sure to break it up with wood or chrome accents, nothing as bold as the living room.

Toilet bowls, bathtubs, and sinks should be simple glass or monochrome porcelain.

Check out what can Metallic Epoxy do for your Bathrooms HERE

Bolder designs with bright colours can achieve an airier look in the bathroom.

Kitchen | Modern Interior Design

The kitchen offers more options than the bedroom or bathroom. Depending on your needs like a big family or party hosts.

You may wish for a bigger kitchen with more counter space for appliances. Likewise a simple kitchen with more utility for storage and more breathing room.

The same rule of straight lines applies for shelves, try to keep them level without any abrupt placement.

A monochrome black or white counter material would be easier to keep clean, think Metallic Epoxy.

While chrome accents on your fridge, light fixtures, or even back-splash can stave off a boring, homogeneous look.

A bigger kitchen may suffer an island counter for more counter space, but a smaller kitchen could start feeling crammed.

Conclusion | Modern Interior Design

Regardless of your take on modern design. There are many good ways to go about it and few wrong ones, the most important aspect is function preceding form.

What does your household need more? Storage space for toys and tools, or display space for collector’s items and tasteful décor?

That may be the difference between extensive floor to wall shelves and in-wall recesses for display purposes.

We hope that today’s post has given you a good idea of what modern design is and how you can go about implementing it.

Guide to Achieving a Minimalist Interior Design

Many homeowners who have considered a minimalist design for their homes often don’t know where to begin.

Today, we explore the roots of minimalism and the reasons behind its widespread appeal. Not forgetting the best way to begin your journey with minimalist style.

Introduction | Minimalist Interior Design

Minimalism began as an artistic counter-revolution against the rich and decadent art of the mid-20^th century.

In the same way that a slice of cucumber cleanses the palate during a heavy meal. A minimalistic home design soothes mind and soul after the blaring noise and dizzying colours of busy city life.

But what entails building a home around the concept of minimalism?

Minimalism in the art world inspired paintings that stripped ideas and themes down to their essentials. This oil painting by Kazimiar Malevich, titled Black Suprematic Square, depicts such a concept. (Image © Wikicommons)

No. 5 by Jackson Pollock is a prime example of the art form that the minimalist movement rebelled against. (Image © Wikicommons)

Minimalism and Interior Design | Minimalist Interior Design

Being reductive, clean, and monochromatic are some of the strongest characteristics of minimalist design.

Home décor is usually subtle and unimposing, while furniture is simple and functional. The greatest challenge in minimalist design, as with most things, is the matter of balance.

Too much emphasis on the simplicity and reductivity of minimalism can often bring you into the territory of being a spartan. While perfect for training the fiercest soldiers, your family or houseguests may not appreciate living in a simulated barrack.

Minimalist design can be applied in a variety of ways depending on the function of the room and the amount of minimalist space you have to work with. Here’s how you can be minimalistic in different parts of your home.

Minimalist interior design is popular in professional settings since it can convey a sense of crisp professionalism and clear purpose without being stifling.

Living Room | Minimalist Interior Design

The living room is the face and body of your home. It greets guests as they arrive and provides the living space for bonding and relaxing.

The most important attribute of a living room is space. Many minimalist living rooms employ an open floor concept to imply unrestricted movement and breathing room.

For this, your focus should be on floors and walls that meet in a clean fashion, without overhanging or jutting shelves. The best type of furnishing involves clean lines without additional decoration and monochromatic colours.

Warm earth tones such as that of wood provide good accents to break the monotony without being jarring.

On that note, your floor should strive to look either seamless or have the same warm tones as your accent colours.

Parquet or hardwood floors work well, while dark coloured tiles with minimal grout lines are passable.

However, one of the best flooring options here, is a Metallic Epoxy Flooring that provides a seamless surface while allowing the freedom of choice for colours. Check out some Ideas HERE

Minimalist interior designs can free up a surprising amount of space in smaller living rooms and avoid the constricting atmosphere of a cluttered set-up. Credits: https://festoonhouse.com.au/festoon-lights/.

Bedroom | Minimalist Interior Design

Bedrooms are a private and restful place. In a minimalist home, the bedroom is one of the few places where décor is given more free reign.

The usual rules for clean lines and simplicity apply for furniture like wardrobes, dressers, and bed-frames. Feel free to add just a little more in the way of personal effects such as photo frames.

Since most bedrooms don’t have that much exposed floor, your flooring choice here is less important. A tastefully simple rug could cover much of your floor, if you choose to leave it pre-minimalist. Otherwise, your best bets would be Metallic Epoxy.

Minimalism does not have to be boring. Using a combination of earth tones and different orientations allows you to break up the monotony that threatens many minimalist designs. (Image © jinkazamah/Flickr)

Bathroom | Minimalist Interior Design

Despite bathrooms not seeing as much usage time as other places in the house. No one can deny the simple pleasure of having a clean and restful space to cleanse oneself after a long day. Otherwise taking a leisurely ‘business meeting’ on a slow weekend afternoon.

Glass is a minimalist’s best friend in the bathroom. Providing a seamless and easily cleaned surface that meets all the aesthetic demands of minimalist design.

From clear shower partitions to small, unimposing shelfs, glass can be used in many ways. Mirrors are also a must in any bathroom – the ideal minimalist mirror is a frameless one, perhaps concealing a useful cabinet behind it for toiletries.

Ceramics like tiles and toilet bowls should be in monochrome. Flooring is an easy choice between epoxy and ceramic tiles, though those with more practical concerns may seek further reading.

Honestly, the bathroom is one of the easiest spaces for a minimalist design, considering the small amount of space and the fixed functions it requires.

Warmer tones in this bathroom give a cosier feel while the straight lines and simplicity of the set-up keep things feeling light and neat.

Kitchen | Minimalist Interior Design

Besides the living room, the kitchen is one of the most versatile spaces of the house.

While the same basic rules of minimalist design still apply. The form your kitchen takes can vary wildly depending on a few factors.

If you have a large family or frequently have guests over. An open concept kitchen-living-room combination with a simple counter separating the two is a classic and tasteful form.

Suitable countertop materials include Metallic Epoxy and more uniform marble, although marble flooring has some major drawbacks in the kitchen.

If you’re not an aspiring socialite with house parties, minimalism still does wonders for kitchen organisation and hygiene.

Floor to ceiling shelves make it a trivial matter to store and arrange crockery, dishes, and sundry goods.

Aligned shelves above and below your sink give a cleaner look and straighter lines. Noting a set of monochrome colours and earth tones pull it all together.

Aligned shelves provide a smooth continuous surface that adds to the façade of clean lines in minimalism. (Image © Rooey202/Flickr)

Conclusion | Minimalist Interior Design

Minimalist design exists on a spectrum from near-spartan to a casual reductivity.

The simplicity of a near-spartan theme may appeal to those who prioritise utility and organisation. This may put off others who need a more personal touch that would tend towards casual reductivity.

How far you choose to take minimalism at home and your selection of interior design media is truly up to you.

Hardwood provides a much needed source of earth tones to soften the edge. Monochrome colours in ceramic tiles or marble will help to set the main stage.

Yet, it is without doubt that a Metallic Epoxy Floor or Countertop is the best way to achieve both the mix of colours and clean lines that minimalism demands.

Meanwhile serving the utility that is a core part of a minimalist design.

Metallic Epoxy allows you to choose any colour imaginable. Though you should go with monochrome for minimalism, while giving your floors and counters quite literally the best protection commercially available.

We hope that you now have a better idea of how to approach a minimalist design at home. Stay tuned for the rest of this month’s posts on interior design themes!

Introduction | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Today, we discuss what you should consider when choosing an interior surfacing material for a pet-friendly household.

Maximising your peace of mind and your furry friend’s comfort.

The editor apologises in advance for the amount of cat/dog gifs in this post.

The 4 Criteria | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

While every pet has its quirks. There are some good general rules that you can consider when choosing a floor.

Keeping in mind the comfortability of your pet while ensuring it to last a long time.

How pet-friendly is your current floor surface material and to what means will you go to just to protect your floor? ©unsplash

Scratch Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Skittering claws and rough-housing will scuff up your floors really quickly without a high level of scratch resistance.

Sometimes an innocent stretch or playful scrambling around the house by your fur-baby is enough to leave a mark.©safebee

Stain/Chemical Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Toilet-trained cats and dogs are great. They rarely have accidents when going number one or two.

However, on the occasion that they do, you’d want a stain-resistant floor that cleans up well. Not forgetting a chemical-resistant floor that will tolerate cleansers. Spilled food or drool are also potential hazards.

Slip Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Recall having nightmares where you’re trying to run but you just don’t move?

Don’t subject your fur babies to the same horror! A floor that provides good traction allows your pet to move with more comfort and safely land from higher surfaces.

Slippery floors are not hazardous to your pets, but to you as well. ©giphy

Porosity | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

With pets around the house, it is even more important to clean your floors regularly. Materials with fewer pores trap less dirt and organic debris, making it easier to keep your floors clean.

Let's begin our comparison on the most pet-friendly floor! ©unsplash

Comparing the Common Types of Flooring | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

With the above considerations in mind.

Below are some of the most common flooring types and how they hold up in a fur-friendly household.

Vinyl: Cheap and easily replaced. ©carpetdepotdouglasville

Vinyl/Linoleum: 3.5/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 2/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 3/5
Slip Resistance: 4/5
Porosity: 4/5

Summary of Vinyl & Linoleum

Tends to scratch easily, even with a wear-resistant layer. However, vinyl and linoleum provide a softer flooring that reduces the noise of pets running around.

Vinyl will permanently stain when exposed to natural rubber products, such as non-slip food dishes or water bowls.

Contrary to popular belief, ceramic and porcelain tiles are very easily scratched despite being extremely hard. ©quiet-corner

Ceramic/Porcelain: 2.5/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 2/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 3/5
Slip Resistance: 2/5
Porosity: 1-3/5

Summary of Ceramic & Porcelain

Ceramic and porcelain tend to scratch easily and generally do not provide good traction.

While matte tiles give more grip, most pets still slip on ceramic tiles. The porosity of ceramic and grout also contribute to dirtier floors.

Some types of ceramic and porcelain tiles can be permanently stained by pet urine as well.

Marble is exquisite, luxurious.. and not a very good choice if you have pets. ©cachorrogato

Marble: 1.5-2/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 1/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 1/5
Slip Resistance: 2/5
Porosity: 2/5

Summary of Marble

Marble is definitely not pet-friendly. It scratches and stains easily, provides poor traction, and is highly porous.

Even if sealed to mitigate porosity, the sealed layer is easily scratched off by active pets. Urine, spilled food, and pet drool are big hazards when considering staining.

A small pro is that many pets enjoy lying on its cool surface.

Let's just emphasise on the importance of traction at home. ©giphy

Hardwood: 2.3/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 2/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 3/5
Slip Resistance: 1/5
Porosity: 3/5

Summary of Hardwood

Even when sealed by a protective layer, hardwood is prone to scratches from active pets. Any breaches in the protective layer exposes the wood.

With Metallic Epoxy Floorings and its replenishable protective topcoat, you can be sure of a right choice for your interior surface.

Metallic Epoxy: 4.5/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 4/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 5/5
Slip Resistance: 5/5
Porosity: 5/5

Summary of Metallic Epoxy

In all regards, Metallic Epoxy is the perfect material for a pet-friendly household.

Besides providing a Stain and Water Proof surface. It also provides a chemical proof finish to withstand accidental pees and heavy floor cleaners.

Not forgetting the material’s good traction and wear resistance. It also has slight ductility which absorbs impact well and reduces noises produced by playful pets.

To add on, steam cleaners allow you to keep your floors clean with ease

Metallic Epoxy Singapore Floorings are not only pet-friendly, they are also baby-safe and food-safe!

Conclusion | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Reviewing our choices, your best bet for a pet-friendly flooring is indisputably Metallic Epoxy.

However, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, vinyl and linoleum are cheap to install. But before heading further, do note that they are less durable than Metallic Epoxy.

This in turn may cause inconvenience and eventually being much more costly due to the constant replacement.

Be wary of cheap products though! They just might scratch you back when you least expect it. ©giphy

What It Means For You | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Metallic Epoxy also offers a drastically larger range of designs and colour options.

Considering that you’re able to customise the colour, pattern, and pigment used during the installation. You can get the best suited design and coloration to suit your theme & preference! In contrast, vinyl and linoleum are limited by commercially printed designs.

While the remaining flooring types are still viable. You will be subjected to the costs and hassle of regular maintenance. Not forgetting, at the expense of your furry friend’s comfort too!

Guide to Selecting the Perfect Natural Stone for your Interiors | Best Natural Stones for Homes

Is there such a thing as the best natural rock for your home? If you’re leaning towards natural rock for your house, today’s post is right up your alley!

In the first of this two-part series. We explore the types of natural rock media commonly used for interior surfacing and how they stand up against one another.

Natural stone and rock designs are beautiful and brings a gorgeous rustic feel to your homes.

Introduction | Best Natural Stones for Homes

Thanks to how they form. Melting, churning, and solidifying just beneath the Earth’s crust. Rocks have a characteristic and unique look to them.

However, based on the conditions of formation and what they’re made of, rocks tend to have varying properties. Some are harder and more scratch-resistant, while others have more outstanding grain and colours.

Criteria | Best Natural Stones for Homes

Our criteria for judging today’s selection of natural rock media is usual. Common hazards in a house include physical trauma, spilt beverages or food, bacteria or mould growth, and harsh cleaning chemicals.

Without further ado, let’s dive right into these three common rock surfaces!

Quartz | Best Natural Stones for Homes

Quartz is a catch-all term for rocks and crystals composed of silicon and oxygen. It is the second most common mineral in Earth’s crust and comes in many forms such as translucent crystals and opaque rocks.

The varieties of quartz used in floor tiles are generally the harder and purer variants of the material. While some tiles are cut out of quartz, others are made of a resin binder and quartz flakes or powder.

Physical Resistance: 6/10

Quartz has a hardness of up to 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is scratch resistant but is still vulnerable to chips and cracks from falling objects.

Chipped Quartz Kitchen Countertop ©stoneamperor

Stain Resistance: 5/10

Quartz though made with resin binders, they are still mildly porous. This means its stain resistance is moderate.

It generally defies most culprits such as tea, coffee, or wine, BUT only if cleaned up quickly. However, if coffee on a cup-bottom is left to sit on a quartz countertop, it will surely leave a stain.

Not forgetting, grouts are used to seal gaps between your tiles, you can expect to see hideous marks in between through general usage.

Water Damaged Quartz Kitchen Countertop

Previously a white quartz countertop, it will naturally amber and turn yellow over time.

Biological Resistance: 4/10

The same concern we had for stain resistance regarding the mildly porous surface is present here as well. It traps a certain degree of bacteria-feeding organic debris on floors and countertops. Not forgetting the grouts.

Porous surface & grouts will shelter bacteria and mould. To make matters worse, if poorly applied, grout leaves a recess between tiles that will trap dirt and prevent efficient cleaning.

Chemical Resistance: 4-6/10

The lower rating applies to synthesised quartz tiles. While the higher rating applies to natural quartz tiles.

Synthesised quartz is a combination of quartz powder and flakes with a resin binder. Commonly made of petroleum by-products. Such resin binders are known to react with chemicals such as alkaline cleaners and some inks, resulting in very stubborn stains.

Natural quartz is more chemically stable. Much like its common cousin, silicon dioxide, commonly known as sand.

Granite | Best Natural Stones for Homes

This classic rock is one of the toughest ones used for interior surfacing. You may think of it as a ‘rock-alloy’ of quartz and feldspar. Composition of the two most common minerals in the Earth’s crust.

Not surprisingly. It’s the most common magma-formed rock on Earth’s surface and has been used in buildings for centuries thanks to its abundance. It is commonly installed in whole slabs or tiles.

Granite is one of the more popular choice for homeowners, but the price maybe out of reach for some buyers. ©louisvillehomesblog

Physical Resistance: 8/10

Granite is 2 steps up from quartz. It rates 8 on the Mohs scale, granite is denser and more resistant to chips and cracks from impacts. Great for floors.

Stain Resistance: 5/10

Granite enjoys a stain resistance on par with quartz. However, without a synthetic option, granite’s highly porous surface is vulnerable to stains from oils and viscous liquids like inks.

While water may leave a dark stain for a while, evaporation will eventually clear it. Not oils and inks, however.

Stained Granite Countertop©countertopspecialty

Biological Resistance: 3/10

The many pores on the surface of granite mean it will trap organic debris that feeds bacteria, as well as sheltering bacteria and mould.

Without regular and thorough cleaning, granite surfaces, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. It can quickly allow for a disgusting layer of scum or discolour from bacteria growth.

With the patterns and darker colours, will you be able to see the bacteria growth on it? ©granitegold

Chemical Resistance: 3/10

Granite has a high content of reactive minerals, making it a nightmare to clean without specialised cleansers. Your only options, besides the former, are pH-neutral gentle soaps and a soft brush or sponge.

Ceramic/Porcelain | Best Natural Stones for Homes

Ceramic and porcelain are two types of man-made tiles using natural rock media. A wet mix of clay, feldspar, silica sand and other raw materials are shaped into tiles and fired in a kiln. Producing strong and hard tiles.

Porcelain is an upgrade on ceramic. The material is fired at a higher temperature for a longer duration, producing a denser and less porous tile. As expected, porcelain is usually a fair bit more expensive.

Ceramic Kitchen Design ©twotonekitchens

Physical Resistance: 4-6/10

Ceramic tiles rank a low 4 with their middling scratch and impact resistance making them prone to scratches and chips.

Denser porcelain performs better at a 6, but can still be chipped or cracked by dropping heavy objects. Ceramic typically ranks up to 5 on the Mohs scale, while porcelain can go as high as 7.

Cracks on ceramic tiles ©shirokoi

Stain Resistance: 2-4/10

Ceramic and porcelain have a few strengths, but stain resistance is not one of them. To seal off pores on tiles, a ceramic glaze is often used on tiles.

However, the glaze applied varies widely in composition across different manufacturers. While some see more success than others in resisting stains, others are discoloured by simple substances like lemon juice or animal urine.

If you decline the option of a glaze, the raw tile itself still stains easily thanks to its porous nature. Raw porcelain (3/10) typically fares much better than raw ceramic (1/10).

Stains on ceramic tiles ©handaloptima

Biological Resistance: 5.5/10

Porcelain and glazed ceramic (5.5/10) are non-porous and do not trap debris or bacteria, but suffer the same drawback as all tiles – grout.

In other news, raw ceramic (3) is terrible, again. Its many tiny pores trap debris, grow bacteria and mould, and make cleaning difficult.

Yes, ugly grout lines are a real eye sore ©sweetpotatopatterns

Chemical Resistance: 3-6/10

Glazes (3/10) may stain easily and badly thanks to their poor chemical resistance. While raw ceramic and porcelain (6/10) may fare better.

This is a gamble you may wish to reconsider, since it depends heavily on the tile’s specific composition. A higher percentage of reactive material like chalk will certainly reduce the tile’s chemical resistance.

Conclusion | Best Natural Stones for Homes

The main selling point for natural rock media is first and foremost the variety of unique appearances and character available.

Each may fare well in their own sets of category. However do note, they are all made of natural stones and age through time. Therefore constant upkeep or maintenance will still be required from time to time.

Best ways to deal with Stains, Grime, and Damage in your Bathroom | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

Do you know what's lurking in your bathroom? Just because yours does not look like this, does not mean it is not already there. ©flickr

Introduction | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

Today’s post on house maintenance looks at the issues that plague interior surfaces in bathrooms and how you can rectify them.

From humble vinyl to majestic marble, here are some DOs and DON’Ts on keeping that shine.

Viny l Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

Vinyl is a popular material thanks to its low cost. It comes in different qualities with corresponding price tags that offer varying levels of damage resistance and durability.

Besides being easy to clean, vinyl is entirely waterproof, making it a good choice for bathroom floors. However, do not that vinyl also doesn’t age well and may warp or crack as it degrades, trapping water beneath it.

Vinyl is a cheap and popular choice for many. But is it really the right material for your home in our humid climate? ©armstrongflooring

Physical

While vinyl can come in large sheets, we recommend installing smaller vinyl tiles or planks in bathrooms.

Vinyl is highly impact-resistant, but particularly prone to scratches, especially from sand or grit underfoot when you take a shower after outdoor activities. When scratches get more obvious and start trapping dirt, simply replace the offending tiles.

Otherwise, frequent cleaning with soft floor scrubs keeps grime and scum from building up. Avoid abrasive scrubs like steel wool or even stiff brushes.

The surface may be waterproof, but what about the base? As long as it is not seamless, dirt, bacteria and moisture can seep through ©hallert

Chemical

Vinyl is relatively chemical-resistant, but prone to staining when exposed to natural rubber in products. They include bathroom slippers, squeegees, and slip-resistant surfaces.

Such stains are often permanent, but merely cosmetic. Frequent cleaning with household cleansers is no issue.

Ceramic Tiles | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

Ceramic tiles are a classy and common material for bathrooms. They come in many attractive designs and have more than adequate physical durability for bathroom flooring and walls.

While the rough surface of ceramic tiles provides good traction underfoot. The porous tile surface and the grout between tiles allows scum to build up remarkably fast.

Physical

Since heavy and hard objects are rare in bathrooms, chips from dropping such objects are uncommon.

Small scratches from sand and grit are unavoidable, but often unnoticeable on the rough tile surface. Any heavy physical damage demands tile replacement since the tiles cannot be resurfaced or refinished.

Scrubbing with bathroom scrubs is perfectly fine. Avoid abrasive scrubs.

Chemical

Ceramic tiles can be cleaned with household cleasers such as CIF or GIF without any issue.

However, some are susceptible to staining when exposed to concentrated cleansers such as bleach. These stains are usually permanent, so check with your contractor before deciding on what tiles to install.

Marble | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

Marble is a premium material with a correspondingly high level of required maintenance. It scratches and stains easily, and is difficult to clean without damaging its surface.

While it’s an impractical material, especially in the bathroom, many find it a luxury worth the trouble.

Physical

Shallow scratches can be buffed out of a marble surface, but cracks and chips cannot be repaired to the marble’s original condition.

The best way to handle marble is to simply avoid these issues. Wash sand and grit off your body and flush everything down the drain before proceeding with your shower.

Clean the bathroom regularly to remove grit, and only with soft brushes or wet rags.

Cracks on your marble floor can lead to water and moisture seeping into it, resulting in a big headache later on. ©restorationbydesignstone

Chemical

Be prepared for frequent stains, especially from stray droplets of urine around the toilet bowl.

Homeowners report a fair amount of success with the use of a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Simply mix the two into a paste with the consistency of peanut butter, spread over the stained area, and cover the paste with cling wrap.

For cleaning, use only marble-specific cleansers and water.

Constant cleaning due to stains and bacteria growth reduces the marble shine. This also leads to damaged marble tiles and discolouration ©stonecareonline

Metallic Epoxy | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

Metallic Epoxy is a premium material on par with marble, but with industrial-grade durability and a gratifyingly low amount of maintenance required.

Besides its High Resistance to Impacts, Scratches, and Corrosion, Metallic Epoxy is also waterproof and easily repaired.

It is non-porous and seamless, two very important properties for Bathroom Floors.

Physical

Depending on your choice of finishing, small scratches can be practically non-existent.

Deep gouges can be easily refinished to original condition and without great urgency. Also the underlying epoxy is similarly waterproof and damage-resistant. Vigorous cleaning with mops and brushes are fine, simply avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Chemical

Metallic Epoxy is highly chemical-resistant and does not stain. Simply clean with any normal household cleanser of your choice for hygiene purposes

Summary | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

As everyone knows, bathroom surfaces are among the dirtiest places in a house.

The combination of human bodily waste and a warm, humid environment is perfect for bacteria and mould to flourish.

To keep such terrors at bay, frequent and unforgiving cleansing must be carried out.

Conclusion | Bathroom Floor Maintenance Tips

But what if we made it difficult for bacteria and mould to even take root?

The best choice here would then be Metallic Epoxy. Besides being waterproof and non-porous, this material can be cleaned regularly with almost any chemical.

In comparison, marble’s fragile nature makes cleaning, and even regular usage, a bit of a nightmare. Besides making sure that no stray drop of urine goes unnoticed, all grit and non-pH-neutral substances are your worst enemies.

For hygiene, your only defence against the unholy duo of bacteria and mould is a soft rag and marble cleanser.

More than any other location, the case for a sturdy and easily maintained interior surfacing material is best made in the bathroom.
