Fragile items dropped on these surfaces will very often break. These floors also create a very noisy room. Ceramic tile that has been glazed during firing is almost impervious to stains and marks. Unglazed tile must be sealed and requires sealing at least once a year. It tends to scuff and stain so it's wise to avoid it in high traffic rooms.
Granite is a great material for both kitchen and bathroom floors.
It is also expensive. Even better it does not stain. Tile, vinyl and marble are the popular choices for bathroom floors. To avoid falls in family bathrooms, choose vinyl, textured tiles or matte finish tiles. Natural stones such as granite, onyx and slate are also popular, but make sure to consider who will be using the bathroom before making your choice.
