This is for a bathroom designed for aging in place. Because I live in a flood zone, I looked into waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, specifically Lifeproof brand by Home Depot, and I was able to take a couple of planks home and put them in my bathroom. Unfortunately, what I learned is that even though they have a texture on them and are touted to be slip resistant, if you step out of the shower with wet feet, they are slippery and have no discernible grip.

So I am considering either another brand of luxury vinyl plank flooring, or a porcelain or ceramic tile, maybe that type of tile that looks like wood planks? If it's tile, it needs to have a discernible texture and be slip resistant. Maybe terracotta tile would work?

I don't want to use something that looks institutional; also, I considered cork, but it doesn't have a long lifespan. Most companies that focus on waterproof flooring don't seem to mention anything about being truly slip resistant. This is for aging in place, so I don't want the room to rely on area rugs (tripping hazard).

I am sure I am not the first person to look for this type of flooring, but it's been challenging to find. Has anyone here been in a similar conundrum and what did you end up using? Or does anyone have any ideas? I spoke with the flooring department of a big box store and they were not helpful.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
