Tile is where a bathroom gets its personality, and it is also where shortcuts show up first. Cracked floor tile, crumbling grout and loose shower tiles are usually signs of poor preparation underneath, not bad tile. Our licensed, insured installers focus on what goes under the tile as much as what goes on top.
Bathroom flooring options
- Porcelain tile. Dense, water-resistant and available in wood, stone and concrete looks. It is our top recommendation for bathroom floors.
- Natural stone. Marble, travertine and slate bring real texture and character, but they need periodic sealing.
- Mosaic tile. Small tiles with more grout lines give better grip, which makes them a good choice for shower floors.
- Luxury vinyl plank. A budget-friendly, waterproof option that is warmer underfoot, often chosen for kids' and guest baths.
Shower walls and accent tile
Subway tile is still a favorite in Franklin homes, along with large-format porcelain slabs that cut down on grout lines and handmade-look zellige for a softer feel. We can add niches, accent bands, or a full tile wall behind the vanity to tie the room together.
Preparation that lasts
Before tile goes down, we make sure the subfloor is solid and flat, add an uncoupling or cement board layer where needed, and use the right waterproofing in wet areas. If you want heated floors, they install under the tile and are a popular upgrade for chilly winter mornings.
Bathroom Tile & Flooring: common questions
What is the best bathroom floor tile for families?
Textured or matte porcelain tile is durable, water-resistant and less slippery than polished finishes.
Can you add heated floors?
Yes. Electric radiant heating mats install under the tile during a flooring project. We'll confirm there is an available circuit during the estimate.
