What To Consider When Choosing Bathroom Tile For Your Home

By Nancy Evans


If you are remodeling a bathroom in your home, you may be looking at replacing the tile on your walls or floor. Bathroom tile can come in many different materials, shapes and colors. Here are some tips that you can use to make the selection process much simpler and more straightforward.

Tiles can be a great choice for many areas of your bathroom. A homeowner in San Francisco, CA may want to use them to cover a floor, a back splash or the area around a shower or bathtub. There are many reasons for this. The first is that the hard surface makes it easy to clean. The other is that the surface is often quite durable and can handle moisture as well as other challenges.

If you consider a few basic factors it can really help you wade through the large number of items and help you find the one that works best for your house. If you think about how much stress and wear your tiles will need to withstand, what size you need and even what color you want in your washroom. All of these things will help you narrow down your choices and find tiling that will work for your home.

When deciding which tiles to use, location is critical. This is because different types will usually be better choices depending on whether they will be used on a floor, on a wall or as part of a back splash. Floor tiles are often larger and may be made of more durable materials. They will be able to stand up to foot traffic as well as some abuse from people who may be using the bathroom. Models that are used on walls may be smaller and thinner than floor versions would be. They may need some special handling and may not be able to handle the same amount of wear and tear that floor options would.

Durability is very important especially when you have small children or animals in our home. You want to make sure that your flooring can hold up to a lot of damage since people will often drop things while they are in the bathroom.

Smaller rooms may do better with a monotone look. Subway or rectangular shapes can make a smaller room look larger as well. If you want to find a way to include some visual interest you may want to consider adding accent panels or other decorative elements in order to direct your gaze in a particular direction.

You can find many options in home improvement stores as well as in shops that are dedicated to remodelling kitchens and bathrooms. You may also want to look online to see what products are available. If you choose to shop in a physical store you can often take home samples to try out. This can be a great option as you will be able to see what your choice looks like in your home rather than trying to envision it.

Keep in mind that you will need to install your tiles as well. If you have a simple decorating scheme it may be possible to do the work yourself however a more complicated pattern may require the services of an expert tile installer.
