No practical experience of bamboo but IMHO the only practical

Would just say that ceramic can be very slippery with fet feet,
and I'd be careful of this with any elderly/infirm person.
(Possibly applies to most surfaces.)

Wood and water do not mix no matter how many precautions and coats of
sealer.


Andrew makes a very good point. You can get textured surface tiles for
such applications. I have these and the grip with bare wet feet on the
tiles is very good.


The downside is the dirt gets in the cracks and you need to use a
scrubbing brush to clean em.
