Blog

 

Selecting the right tiles can significantly impact the overall aesthetic of a room, so it's crucial to make thoughtful choices. Navigating the extensive array of tile options on the market can be overwhelming, especially when considering factors beyond just visual appeal. The decision-making process becomes complex, given the multitude of excellent possibilities available.

Here's an ultimate guide to assist you in choosing the ideal tiles for each room:

 

1) Know Your Tiles:

  • Vitrified Tiles: Resistant to moisture, stains, and wear, available in various forms.
  • Porcelain Tiles: Scratch- and stain-resistant, denser and more robust than ceramic tiles.
  • Cement Tiles: Ideal for a striking appearance but may require occasional sealing.
  • Ceramic Tiles: Tough and reasonably priced, suitable for areas with light to medium usage.
  • Natural Materials: Options like sandstone, limestone, marble, or travertine tiles.

 

2) Choose the Best Tile Finish:

  • Matte Finish: Slip-resistant, non-reflective, and stain-resistant.
  • Semi-Matte Finish: Non-slip with a brighter sheen than matte tiles.
  • Smooth Finish: Reflective surface that brightens the room and provides a sense of space.
  • Glossy Finish: Avoid in damp environments due to slipperiness when wet.

 

3) Bathroom Tiles:

  • Opt for anti-skid tiles in the bathroom for safety, available in various styles and patterns.
  • Be cautious with some tiles that may become slippery when wet.

 

4) Living Room Tiles:

  • Choose less porous, denser, and sturdy tiles, such as porcelain, to withstand high traffic.
  • Consider floor tiles with a wood-like appearance that are moisture- and stain-resistant.

 

5) Kitchen Tiles:

  • Select strong, non-slip tiles capable of withstanding frequent spills and moisture in the kitchen.
