Don't of remodeling/renovating

Stone that can't be scrubbed on shower floors. Every time I go to a house that has weird grainy stone in their shower, it's always dirty and grimy as if they haven't washed it for decades.

      until something with a slightly sharp edge falls on it, or you push something across it.

        Same with literally any kind of flooring except carpet, but with vinyl sheet, after you do that a couple dozen times over a decade and the floor starts looking ugly(still functional though) you buy another sheet of vinyl for $150, sweep, and lay that b***h down, don't even need to take out the old one. Tongue and grove will come apart and swell, glue down vinyl plank will start heaving due to temperature changes in the bathroom and sunlight from windows and it's a fricking b***h to tear out, ceramic will get dirty ass grout that will eventually crumble away, tiles will crack and come loose, real wood is basically just tongue and groove on crack, carpet basically only lasts 5 years before it needs to be replaced.
        Vinyl sheet is peak flooring, and I'm tired of pretending it's low class.

          This anon gets it. Got a floor renovation coming up and thinking of switching from mosaic parquet to vinyl sheet because it looks sharp and is simply more practical.

            > buy new every couple of years
            Yeah, when my car gets dirty I just junk it an buy a new one.
            I’m the same way with kitchen utensils and plates, I go buy disposable paper plates… I just imagine paper plates are not for low class, tv dinner eating trailer trash and I’m no longer embarassed.
            That way i never have to clean anything. I’d post a picture of my bathroom, but I’ve never cleaned it in 20 years. I associate myself with rich people now, makes it easier to not have any issues with living in absolute filth.

              >you should spend $2000 on a floor that will last 5 years instead of $400 on a floor that will last 20 years because you don't buy a new $40,000 car every time you need to change the oil
              Solid logic bozo

          Linoleum tile is pretty good for this. That shit is practically hard rubber and who really cares if you do manage really bash it in? Just replace the piece.

      So you don't know anything about flooring besides laminate is bad huh? Lots of lvt that works in bathrooms and looks way better than shitty cents on the dollar sheet vinyl. I'm sure the vintage trailer house look is gonna come back though, hang in there.

        >shitty cents on the dollar sheet vinyl

        Dirty little secret:
        When you see bathroom sized rolls of sheet vinyl flooring wrapped in plastic and sold as "remnants" at Lowes, HD and and Big Lots style discount stores that sell cheap DIY flooring, that stuff is almost never actual remnants of premium sheet vinyl being sold at a discount.

        It's actually cheap-ass grade material cut into bathroom sized (+) pieces and marketed to people who think they're beating the system by getting quality stuff at blowout prices by accepting the selection offered and usually buying a larger piece than they need.

        It *is* possible to buy remnants of premium grade vinyl for cheap, but it's found at places who do the installations and have leftovers; there's nobody going around to those places buying up remnants and re-packaging them for distribution to retailers.

    Stone can be scrubbed. You can brutalize tile and grout, that’s a big advantage. Get a steam cleaner, that’s what pros do.

    My poor friend's stupid wife made them out this shit in their shower. I gave him a brush/sponge attachment set for his drill to clean it. What a horrible design.

    Bathrooms are just nasty to begin with. That's where people poo and putting in marble or something is just an elaborate ritual people go through to feel better when they poo like animals. The vinylanon gets it. It's functional and maximizes the utility out of an already shitty situation. Anything ornate is just polishing a turd. In my cumpound, I'm putting in stainless floors in the bathrooms with stainless molding all around, all welded at the seams. Clean and hygienic like something you'd see at a food production line. I can clean it with steam, pressure wash it, scrub it, hell, acid etch it.

    If you are going to do stone, do it in slabs. Prerequisite is not being poor. Really though if you arent filthy and scrub the floor weekly with a nylon brush, you'll be fine.

    T. Stone guy.
