Tips And Tricks For Choosing The Best Tile For Your Bathroom

Trying to find the best tile for your bathroom? While it might seem like a simple decision, the truth is there are more options available today than ever before. From gorgeously glazed ceramics to striking sandblasted stone, the only limits are your imagination… and your budget. Here are some of Go Mobile Flooring’s top tips for choosing tile that’s beautiful, durable, and easy to maintain:

Tips And Tricks For Choosing The Best Tile For Your Bathroom

Think About Budget

When it comes to choosing bathroom tile, aesthetics isn’t the only concern; you also need to consider the cost of various flooring options. In general, styles of flooring range in price from low-cost ceramic to high-end natural stone, with porcelain and glass options falling somewhere in the middle. Ultimately, the best tile for your bathroom is the one you can afford.

Consider the Cleaning

Natural stone tile might be one of the most beautiful, luxe options out there. However, it’s also one of the more difficult styles to clean. If you don’t have a lot of time for scrubbing showers – and don’t want to hire a professional – you might consider opting for maintenance-free porcelain or ceramic. Because these materials don’t have pores, they don’t hold onto dirt and grime like stone does.

Set on stonework in your master bath? Consider using this textured tile on the floor or another area that doesn’t get wet.

Keep Variety to a Minimum

Creating your bathroom color palette can be an exciting prospect and also a challenging one. After all, choosing too many shades can result in a bathroom that looks less than sophisticated. For best results, select the colors for your cabinets and vanity before choosing tiles. Then, choose your focal point tile (the most visually interesting one) and complement it with subtler shades. In general, designers recommend abiding by the rule of three when choosing bath tile, using a neutral shade, a rich shade, and an accent shade in a 70/20/10 distribution.

schluter_kerdi-board_foam_tile_substrate

A substrate that can replace materials like fiberboard, green board, and Dura rock.

Are you thinking of renovating your bathroom? Bathrooms can provide unique tiling challenges because the substrate needs to be flat, waterproof, and not cause the tile to rest above any adjoining surfaces. Often, during construction or renovation in wet areas, the surface to be tiled is completely unacceptable for tiling. Luckily, Schluter Systems has created Kerdi-Board.

Kerdi-Board is a substrate that can replace materials like fiberboard, green board, and Dura rock on shower walls and bathroom floors. Paired with our tile and mortar solutions, you have a complete, waterproof bathroom solution that is beautiful and functional.

Kerdi-Board is comprised of a lightweight polystyrene foam interior, with fleece webbing on either side to ensure tight bonding to any surface. Additionally, the surface has convenient gridlines for precise tile alignment and cutting. Speaking of cutting, Kerdi-Board can be chopped and shaped easily with a utility knife, no need for big, messy saws.

Kerdi-Board can also be used as a building material to create free-standing structures that will be covered with tile. It is easy to move around and the boards are completely waterproof, temperature resistant, and anti-microbial. Kerdi-board comes in a number of thicknesses, in order to meet your needs for adjoining surfaces. Choose Schluter Kerdi-Board for your next bathroom renovation project.

Schluter has provided innovative stone and ceramic tile installation solutions for over 40 years. What began as a simple tile installation company has since grown to an international firm with over 40 product lines and a reputation unmatched in the industry.

Heated Flooring in Your Bathroom This Winter

heated bathroom

There are two kinds of bathroom floor heating systems, electric radiant heat and Hydronic heating.

 

During winter months, it is almost impossible to escape the season’s chills. Bare feet on a cold bathroom floor are a rude awakening to each and every day. There is, however, an alternative. This year, consider adding heated flooring to your bathroom.

There are two kinds of bathroom floor heating systems. Electric radiant heat, which utilizes electricity and is ideal for single bathrooms; and Hydronic heating, which utilizes heated water through a system of tubes and is ideal for wiring an entire house. The use of these heating styles is ideal under tile, ceramic or porcelain floors, for they are strong conductors. Wood floors, however, are relatively inefficient because of their delayed heating time. Both styles require small wiring, meaning that the height of your bathroom’s flooring will not make a noticeable difference.

The advantages of heated flooring in your bathroom are plentiful. Many floors are hooked up to a wall thermostat—and believe it or not, the use of this floor may result in a decrease in your electric bill. Floors that are heated in the morning often stay warm throughout the day. This means you can cut down on your use of other thermostats without having to compromise your comfort. In addition, heated floors are a luxury that once you experience; you will not be able to live without. As a result, such flooring can come in handy when selling your home, for it may give your house the extra appeal to trump its competition. Keep warm this season—and every season after. Install heated flooring in your home’s bathroom.
