Where are you most likely to find tiles? In a bathroom. This is largely because bathroom tiles make the room hygienic, water resistant, and easy to maintain.

In addition, choose the right tiling and you’ll add value to the bathroom. Who doesn’t like a well put together bathroom, especially when its one of the busiest rooms in your home?

Bathrooms can accommodate all types of tiling: ceramic, porcelain, travertine, slate or stone. Ultimately it comes down to the look you are trying to achieve at a price you are willing to pay.

Hygiene

When most people think bathrooms, they think tile because they give a fresh appearance and at the same time are easy to clean. Although tiles are water resistant, they aren’t waterproof. Which means in areas they will withstand constant moisture, such as the tub and shower areas, its important to waterproof the area after tiling. This process will prevent potential water damage from occurring behind the tiling itself.

Size

Tiling is a personal choice. However there are a few basic tips to keep in mind. Avoid using large bathroom tiles in a small bathroom. It will dwarf the room and cause a closed in feel. If you choose too small of a tile, the continual grout lines can cause a somewhat sterile atmosphere. Which of course leads many people to choose medium sized tiles to create a visually pleasing look. You should also consider how much space you have between walls, windows and fixtures.The less you have to cut tiles, the more appealing the look will be.

Color

Light color tiles (whites, creams, tans) will give your bathroom a larger appearance as they reflect the light. Dark colors absorb the light, making your room smaller in appearance, yet at the same time giving it a dramatic look. If you combine floor tiling with wall tiling, keeping the grout similar hue, you can create a spacious look and feel that will please everyone.

Is tiling cold?

Many people worry about installing tile in a Colorado home because of our cold winters. Won’t the room be cold under these conditions? Tile naturally retains heat, so overall tile will not cool the room. However, it does matter what subflooring you have in place. Wood allows the space to breathe, keeping it warmer year round. If its placed on concrete, you may wish to consider undertile heating to provide instant heat whenever you choose.
