Are you renovating your bathroom? Congratulations! Congratulations! The most important decision you will need to make in your bathroom is what tiles you choose. Here are some quick tips to help you select the right tiles for your project.
Which size tiles should be chosen?
The rule of thumb when choosing the size tiles for your bathroom renovation in Auckland is to make sure that the area is large enough for the tiles. This is not always true, however, as it all depends upon the layout of your bathroom. Large tiles can look disjointed or out of proportion if too many cuts are made to fit around windows, vanities and tubs.
Your bathroom’s design is often determined by the proportions of the tiles, not the size.
If you plan to use 300×300 tiles on your floor, the tiles for the wall should be multiple 300. This allows you match the grout lines on the floor tiles to the ones on the wall, so everything looks balanced.
Which tile style is the best?
Your bathroom’s feel can be influenced by the tile you choose. The first thing you should do is decide what style, mood, or look you want in your bathroom. You don’t want to mix a traditional home with a modern bathroom. Modern fittings are possible, but not the overall feeling.
Patterned tiles
You can choose from porcelain or ceramic patterned tiles. Ceramic tiles are more durable and more resistant than ceramic tiles. However, porcelain tiles tend to be more expensive. Both types of tile offer endless possibilities for design. Terrazzo, which is a mixture of cement and natural stone chips, is another popular option. However they require sealing and maintenance to look their best. Composite stone is a similar product to Terrazzo but it contains resins or polymers that make it more resistant to scratching than Terrazzo.
Mosaic and 3D tiles
Another popular option is mosaic or 3D tile. However, mosaics are usually used as accents due to their price. Recently, however 3D tiles have been used to cover entire walls. You can find small mosaic tiles made from glass, ceramic, porcelain, and stone. They are also available in different shapes like hexagons, fans, herringbone, and ovals. These tiles can be used in combination with 3D tiles to add texture to walls. They also make a great impact on your bathroom.
Natural stone tiles
There are also natural stones that can either be left unpolished or polished to achieve a matte finish. These stone tiles are timeless and attractive because of their natural appearance. Natural stone, like Terrazzo, must be sealed and maintained.
