Bath Mats

The areas of the bathroom surrounding the bath tub and sink are the most prone to water damage. If not taken care of, the water can seep into the surface and damage the flooring. This can cause cracked floors, faded colour or floor staining.

Bath mats are typically placed at the entrance of the bathroom, outside a bath tub, around the sink and vanity. The standard size of a bath mat or rug for these placements are 20 in x 31 in for the sink, 22 inch x 34 inch for the bath tub and 24 inch x 40 inch for the vanity.

Tips & Comments

Bathroom mats need frequent cleaning, disinfecting and replacement. Whichever type you choose, steer clear of the fabric variety as it can accumulate bacteria and and are a breeding ground for fungi and molds. They need to be washed thoroughly and disinfected after every use while the wooden or plastic mats are more convenient. With just a little care, bamboo mats would last a lifetime but they are often prone to fungi and mildew. Cork is a great choice of material for bath mats as it does not let water penetrate making it anti fungal and resistant to moisture.
