Tile makes an excellent choice for bathroom floors due to its variety of color, pattern and texture options. In addition, the right flooring can serve as the basis of other design elements in the space.
Hexagon floor tiles are an attractive way to bring charm into any room. Available in many sizes, hexagon tiles can provide a striking visual contrast when placed against rectangle wall tile for an engaging contrast effect.
Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are both produced using clays mined from the earth, with porcelain being processed at higher temperatures to achieve its hard, dense, less porous qualities and water-resistance. When properly cared for it can withstand heavy traffic demands while having an extended lifespan when maintained with proper attention to maintenance.
Porcelain requires professional installation as its hard and heavy structure makes it more challenging and weighty to handle than ceramic tiles. Therefore, working with a local tile contractor to ensure proper installation.
When shopping for porcelain it is essential to look for tiles with through-body colors or glazes, which ensure that their color runs all the way through their body and won’t chip like ceramic glazed tiles can. Glazed porcelain comes in polished, semi-polished or matt finishes and can also be rectified to give tight grout joints not possible with ceramic glazed tile. When purchasing any glazed porcelain product check that its packaging displays the PTCA mark as this confirms they are true porcelain tiles.
Marble Look Tiles
Marble’s timeless design adds timeless class to any bathroom, whether on floors or walls, adding rich texture. However, marble may be more costly than other flooring options.
Modern technology has made it possible to achieve an almost identical look with porcelain tiles, replicating its classic veining and white aesthetic at a fraction of the cost of marble.
At Floor & Decor, you’ll find marble-look porcelain tiles with more contemporary looks such as Bianco Carrara hexagon mosaics for herringbone backsplashes or honed porcelain floor tile to create sleek bathrooms. Whatever your aesthetic preference may be, you’re sure to find plenty of marble look tiles suitable for every taste – be sure to seal your marble with penetrating stone sealer, as it is porous and may stain over time; regular maintenance with quality products will keep it looking lovely for many years to come.
