Bathroom Tile

 

 

What does your bathroom tile say about you?

 

What do you want it to say?  Does it reflect your style and personality?  Is it a relaxing oasis or an eyesore?

Have you ever walked into a fabulous bathroom and thought, "Wow!  I could live here!"?  The design and function of your bathroom can affect your mood and productivity during the day.  Imagine your morning routine, how does it compare to your typical day?  If you spend the morning getting ready in a calm, serene environment, it can actually help you stay calm and reduce the effects of stress.  Or how about a nice relaxing soak in the tub after a long day?  The mood of your home spills over into the other aspects of your life.  If you want to reduce your stress levels, start with a stress free style in your home.

Are you proud to show visitors your bathroom or do you try to keep the door shut?

Glass tiles

Glass bathroom tiles have become very popular the last few years due to the amazing color combinations, exceptional variations in pattern development, ease of care and installation.  These tiles are great as accent pieces or to add a bit of whimsy to your bathroom.  They come in clear colors or varying degrees of iridescence to give your bathroom a little extra sparkle and shine.  Glass tiles can fit into any bathroom theme or style from funky to elegant.

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are always an affordable option that can still give you a great look and feel to your bathroom.  Ceramic tiles are the most readily available at your local home improvement store and usually don't require special ordering.  They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.  Specialty ceramic tiles can add a lovely accent line or space to an otherwise ordinary bathroom.

Marble Tile

Marble is the most expensive of the three types listed here, so if you are on a tight budget, you can still have the elegance and style of marble on an accent piece.  If money is no object, an all marble bathroom is an option.  Many different colors, varigations, and types of marble are available for a price.  Most marble will need to be special ordered and you will need an expert installer to make sure your investment is properly cut and pieced together.

These are just a few examples of how tile can transform your bathroom into your own private oasis.

 

One question that always seems to come up when discussing tile, especially tile floors, is the "chill factor".  While a tile floor will be colder than carpet, there is always the option of heating your tile floor with a radiant heat system.  An installation expert will be able to discuss the heating options for your space.  Most floor heat systems use tubes of hot water to keep the floor warm, this also adds to the warmth of the room overall making your bathroom the place to be on a cool night after a long day.
