Chlorine Resistant Flooring for Bathroom

[herbolaryo]

What kind of bathroom flooring which has the following characteristics:
1. Stain resistant
2. Can be cleaned with bleach (necessary coz households are in healthcare so different kinds of bacteria/ bugs is a way of life)
3. Easy to clean
4. Slip resistant (coz there will also be an elderly using it)
5. Durable coz high traffic area
6. Resist moisture/Non porous
7. Low maintenance -other flooring have special needs like waterproofing or resurfacing yearly, etc which add to the total cost to own that particular flooring
8. Light colored material -coz the space is small; light shades makes room larger

I looked at porcelain tile, ceramic tile, marble, granite. the choices are many with different pros & cons.

Need good advice on what flooring to use...

Well from your description, it sounds like tiles would be your best bet. The only thing is that tiles are slippery when wet (Bon Jovi link there ). But pretty much any surface that is easy to clean will also be slippery when wet.
Porcelain tiles are tougher than regular ceramic but more expensive - it comes down to how much you want to spend.

you can also get a tough rubber flooring with embossed or patterned non-slip surface. Very easy to wash down and if professionally installed can have the edges turned up the walls a few inches.

Available in various pale and bright colours as well as the expected black.
