What type of flooring is typically used in second floor restrooms?

Carpet
Wood
Tile
Vinyl

The correct answer is: Tile

Tile is commonly used in second floor restrooms due to its water-resistant properties and durability. Bathrooms are areas that experience high humidity and potential water exposure, making it essential to use materials that can withstand moisture without deteriorating. Tile is non-porous, so it does not absorb water, and is easier to clean, which is an important consideration in restroom maintenance. Additionally, tile flooring can withstand heavy foot traffic and offers a variety of design options, allowing for aesthetic flexibility while ensuring a functional application. Other flooring types may not be as suitable; for instance, carpet is prone to mold and water damage, while wood can warp in humid conditions. Vinyl, while also a water-resistant option, may not provide the same level of durability and can be more susceptible to scratches and dents over time compared to tile.
