If you are thinking of giving your bathroom a major makeover, then bathroom tiles will inevitably come into the equation. Changing your bathroom tiles alone can bring about drastic changes to the way your bathroom looks. The problem is that there are many different types of bathroom tiles available and picking the best ones for your bathroom can be a real headache. If you are unsure how to proceed, then you should check out a bathroom showroom to get more ideas for your own project.
Before going to a bathroom showroom, you will need some background information about bathroom tiles to make your choice easier. First of all, you will need to know that in terms of form, you can either go with chamfered tiles or rectified tiles. Chamfered tiles have softer, rounded edges while rectified tiles have clean and straight lines. Chamfered tiles often use up more grout to fill in the gaps and if this is an issue for you, you should pick the latter. In terms of looks and materials, there are many types available today but here are some of the most popular:
Ceramic Tiles
This is the most common type of tile .They are both affordable and very easy to clean and maintain. They also come in a number of finishes such as matte, gloss and semi gloss. In addition to this, they can come in almost any colour imaginable.
Granite Tiles
Granite tiles are very tough and they can last for more than a lifetime. However, they are quite limited in terms of colour and they are more expensive compared to ceramic tiles. The good news is that their longevity makes up for the lack of options as well as their price.
Stainless Steel Tiles
While relatively new to the market, these steel tiles are starting to become more popular. This is the perfect choice for people who want modern and sleek looking bathroom that are easy to maintain as well as durable.
If you want to see more options, then you should definitely take a peek at what is offered in a reputable bathroom showroom. There are many more options available so you should keep both your budget and your needs in mind when making your decision.
