Marble Tiles in Bathrooms

The combination of lighter shades and a subtle veined pattern can help to accentuate the light and space in bathrooms. Light, neutral colours complement modern applications like sinks and bath panels. In this situation marble tiles work extremely well as part of uncomplicated interior decors. These tiles display a timeless quality in both contemporary and traditional designs. This natural stone is not only used as part of standard bathroom designs but also within modern wet rooms and en suite bathrooms. Popular bathroom marble tiles include Cappuccino Beige and Ivory Gold Coast. Marble tiles are often matched on both walls and floors for a consistent style.

Marble Mosaics in Kitchens

A kitchen splash back wall not only provides style and sophistication but also protects underlying substrates. Marble mosaics are an excellent choice for kitchen walls. Marble mosaic tiles from Tiles Porcelain are attached to mesh sheets which can be easily cut and fitted above worktops. They can even be used as a border application. To ensure that the surface of your kitchen tiles is easy to clean, mosaics with a polished finish are recommended. Tiles like the Dark Emperador Mosaics can work effectively. These tiles have a dark brown colour and light cream veins.

Marble Tiles in Living and Dining Areas

Marble tiles are becoming increasingly popular for living and dining areas. Whereas once carpets and wallpaper stole the limelight, homeowners now realise the benefits of a tiled surface in these areas. Tiles are hard wearing and prove easy to clean and maintain. With the correct maintenance marble will retain its appearance for many years to come. Marble tiles provide immense character and style as part of open plan interior designs and can therefore be used throughout your home. For a warm flooring surface, Electric Underfloor Heating mats are a worthwhile option. These flexible mats are simply installed before tiles are laid over the top.

There are some amazing quartz tiles on the market these days, which you can use to really jazz up any interior and create some truly stunning effects. Long gone are the days when buyers were restricted to lacklustre 4×4″ or 6×6″ basic floor tiles; now you can really put some life into your floors, walls and kitchen work surfaces.

Many of us have holidayed abroad and seen the gorgeous tiling regularly used in countries such as Italy and Spain, both of which have a long tradition of tile, mosaic and terrazzo use stretching back over many centuries. Now we can have a flavour of that continental look right here in the UK by investing in floor tiles which really bring a room to life.

Different Finishes in Quartz Tiles

Many quartz tiles are a mixture of quartz and special resins which are about as impervious to stains and liquids as you can get. These hardy surfaces now come in a variety of tempting shades, and with all manner of finishes, such as tiny sparkles tastefully embedded deep into the structure of the tile, then finished off in a gloss or semi-matt style, thus complementing any style of décor.

Another advantage of quartz tiles are the sizes now available. For example, a 305 x 305 x 10mm tile will quickly cover large surfaces such as floors, so there will be less grouting lines to deal with. Often with tiled surfaces the tiles are easy enough to clean, but it’s the joints which often show stains, so fewer joints means a smarter, longer lasting finish.

Slate tiles have many advantages over other types of tiling. For one thing, they always look the part when it comes to ‘the natural look’ which so many people appreciate these days. In place of chintzy flower designs, slate tiles speak of the big outdoors and wild, rugged places, so they are the perfect complement to natural wood colours, such as antique pine, ash or oak fittings and trims.

Being generally a muted or neutral colour, slate tiles also have the advantage of blending in well with almost any shade of interior décor which won’t then clash with whatever else is going on in the room. This means you can happily paint your walls in almost any desired shade, and feel safe in the knowledge that your new slate floor tiles won’t be clashing with the colours of furniture coverings or drapes.

When it comes to fitting slate tiles, you’ll find that they look as good on the walls as they do on the floor where, for instance, a simple rug or rush matting can enhance the look of rustic simplicity if that’s the sort of style which appeals.

Quality Slate Floor Tiles

Apart from looks, the other advantage of slate floor tiles is their timeless durability. If you feel to want extra protection, it is easy to purchase one of the many brands of proprietary sealer available these days. Just one or two coats of a transparent sealer is all it takes to ensure your walls or floors will shrug off anything you care to throw at them, leaving your slate tiles looking as good as the day they were fitted.

The post Why Should You Choose Slate Tiles For Your Home? appeared first on TilesPorcelain - News.

Using wall tiles in bathrooms is a great idea on several counts, not least because the impervious nature (especially of porcelain tiles) ensures a good run-off of splashes and steam, thus protecting the walls behind your tiles. Unlike painted walls, once applied, wall tiles are going to be there for quite a while, so it is as well to get them right first time. Before sticking any tiles to a wall, try mapping them out on the floor first to see if the design is going to work for you.

A degree of experimentation can be done to improve on the usual layout and design of wall tiles– such as leaving out an occasional tile and filling the resultant space with an unusual feature tile to add interest. Another idea is to fix the tiles using a diagonal/diamond design, rather than the customary horizontal rows.

Regarding the overall layout of your bathroom tiles, generally speaking, the smaller the room, the simpler the pattern on the tile should be, otherwise the overall effect can seem a bit overpowering. Along the same lines, if possible you might opt for a smaller sized tile for smaller rooms, and use large tiles to fill big, open expanses, where they will really look their best.

Porcelain Bathroom Tiles

The advantage of porcelain bathroom tiles over ceramic is the hardwearing properties. In situations where tiles are likely to suffer a few knocks and abrasions, it’s as well to choose porcelain tiles, which have a reputation for not showing chips quite as much as ceramic tiles, should they ever get damaged.

Bathroom Mosaics on Floors

Floors in bathrooms require a high level of slip resistance for obvious safety reasons. The intricate design of mosaics provides multiple grout lines and therefore a greater level of traction under foot. If the floor is slightly uneven or sloping, which is the case in modern wet rooms, mosaics on flexible mesh sheets can be laid on to the surface with ease. This will prevent the requirement for multiple cuts to be made to standard floor tiles. For shower areas and flooring which surrounds baths and sinks, you may want an even greater level of slip resistance, which can be provided by mosaics with a matt finish. Light Travertine Mosaic tiles are a perfect example of a flooring surface which provides both style and practicality in abundance. The neutral shades of cream and beige complement popular bathroom colours of white and silver extremely well.

Bathroom Mosaics on Walls

On walls, bathroom mosaic tiles tend to be used in two separate ways. Firstly as a border tile, mosaics can be cut into thin strips to complement an interior wall design. Mosaic borders can provide a stylish contrast of colours and styles as shown in these Dartmoor Naturals glass tiles. They tend to be used horizontally but can sometimes be formatted within a vertical pattern for a standout appearance. Polished tiles like Midnight Black Quartz Mosaics create an easy to clean surface, along with a low moisture absorption rate. These sparkly mosaic tiles can add an extra dimension to bathroom walls. Mosaics are also used as a splash back above sinks in bathrooms. This not only provides protection to the underlying substrate but also creates a trendy style on bathroom walls. We have a range of bathroom mosaics available for both walls and floors.

Tumbled Travertine Paving Tiles

Tumbled Travertine Tiles (pictured left) has a 30mm thickness making it effective as paving. These large slabs can be laid in a brick effect /running bond style when paving. This travertine has a sandy cream and beige colour and fits perfectly in a rustic, outdoor environment. With its extreme density and strength, tumbled travertine certainly has the practical characteristics to provide an excellent garden surface. Tumbling means the tiles have been abrasively finished producing a rock texture with a high level of slip resistance. This tumbled paving works well with decorative garden fountains or wooden outdoor furniture. Travertine is a sedimentary rock, notable for its unique pattern and air pockets. For added resilience you can seal these paving tiles, creating a surface which is less porous. You can find out information on how to tile in outdoor areas within our DIY Guides.

Sandstone Paving Tiles

Sandstone has been used in the construction industry for thousands of years. Its durability and distinctive pattern comprising of multicoloured bands now makes it highly desirable for exterior home designs. It is often fitted on driveways and works equally well as a garden patio. Landscape gardeners will regularly use sandstone pavers to create a pathway surrounding a lawn area, as demonstrated in this picture (right). Matching sandstone steps are regularly used to create an entrance to the home. These sandstone paving tiles can also be used in the creation of a trendy pond surround. Many of us with busy lives are actually opting for less lawn space in our gardens. Grass requires cutting on a regular basis and the appearance can be affected by the hours of sunlight and amount of watering it receives Natural stone tiles like sandstone provide a low maintenance and practical option.
