Bathroom Walls and Floors of Distinction
When you design a new bathroom, the two most important considerations are how it looks and works—clearly, the walls and floors factor into both. Tile is the classic solution for bathroom walls and floors. It is classic and elegant, but there are also newer materials you may want to consider.
Floors and shower bases also contribute to bathroom safety, and slip-resistant surfaces are always a wise choice. They’re available in a range of products, including many styles of tile. Nearly all flooring materials today consider slip resistance, and some offer greater protection than others.
A new bathroom from Shapiro is a cut above the rest.
We understand and share the excitement about custom showers, tub surrounds, and other upgrades. However, the best bathroom remodeling carefully considers every element, including walls and floors. As we do in all parts of the renovation process, we’ll give you a range of options to consider based on your style preferences.
Choosing Tile for Walls and Floors

Bathroom Floors: How to Select the Right One
In recent years, great progress has been made in expanding bathroom floor choices—and nearly all of them look great, even some at lower price points. There are two main types: tile and vinyl, and each offers water resistance and other benefits. But the big news is how much better they look.
1. Tile floors (Ceramic, Porcelain, Marble, Stone, Glass)
are the classic choice for bathrooms and add a look of distinction. We’ll show you possibilities in many categories and can add custom finishing touches, like a rose of colorful glass tile within a ceramic tile shower wall.

2. Vinyl floors (Tiles, Sheets, Planks)
look better than ever. Recent product introductions are designer products that replicate the appearance of tile and wood. They are upgrades from yesteryear’s vinyl and linoleum floors and make bathrooms look elegant.

Whatever flooring type you settle on, our expert installation and competitive prices will impress you. We’ll also discuss the specific advantages of each, depending on your needs. For example, vinyl is softer and can be more forgiving than tile. If extra safety is a significant consideration, you may want to opt for vinyl.
Consider Lighting Along with Walls and Floors
Illuminating your bathroom floors and walls with the perfect lighting enhances their appearance exponentially. Interior designers agree that bathroom lighting is one of the most important (and often under-appreciated) aspects of remodeling.
Recessed ceiling and vanity lighting, often with energy-saving LEDs, can transform bathrooms, making them more beautiful and functional. Some people even enjoy the flair of petite chandeliers.
Good lighting sets off the appearance of tile walls and floors, making their color richer and more vibrant and showing texture and detail. Upgraded bathroom lighting is surprisingly affordable when you have our professional advice about what to choose – we source lighting from all major brands.
Improved Ventilation Also Matters
Bathrooms with advanced ventilation are more comfortable to use and stay drier to reduce mold and mildew buildup. Modern high-velocity fans with whisper-quiet motors are excellent replacements for old exhaust fans that rattle and vibrate. You’ll notice a difference the minute you flip the switch.
If you have a windowed bathroom that allows for ventilation, we can design tile and other features to accent it beautifully. Waterproofing around shower enclosures and windows is essential to avoid seepage and protect the underlying walls. Our design and construction always create a water-tight seal where needed.
