So you live in Reigate and you have decided
that you want to give your bathroom an entirely new look. The bathroom is generally the most popular
room in the home to find tiles. This due
to the fact that tiles have better hygienic and waterproof qualities compared
to carpets, wallpaper and most paints.
In addition to this tiles also have the potential to add potential value
to your bathroom and you also have access to some unique finishes that you
wouldn’t be able to achieve with other materials.
Bathrooms are a room in the house that need
to be hygienic and this can be achieved by using tiles. Tiles have a fresh appearance and have easy
wipe surfaces. If you are tiling in the
shower area you will need to choose glazed ceramic or porcelain tiles as their
moisture absorption rate is 0.5% which means they are pretty much
waterproof. This will not be the case
with materials like wallpaper and paint.
If you decide on natural tiles for your bathroom you will need to ensure
that they are sealed with the proper maintenance products before they are
applied in your bathroom as this will prevent water damage and staining.
When you visit a shop for tiles Reigate
they will advise you not to use large bathroom tiles in a small bathroom as
this will significantly dwarf your bathroom.
A shop for tiles Reigate should also advise that using small tiles in a
bathroom may look good but using small tiles means a lot of grout lines which
can be unappealing. It is for this
reason that medium tiled are more commonly used in a bathroom.
Your Tiles Reigate shop will be able to
give you advice on the best tiles for your bathroom , for example, light
coloured bathroom tiles can make small bathrooms look bigger as they reflect
light better than a darker coloured tile.
Using the same colour tiles on the floor as well as the walls can also
give your bathroom a more spacious feel, you can also use grout that is the
same colour as the tiles. If you have
compact spacing between your toilet, washbasin and windows then smaller tiles
are a good idea as the flow will be better and they will require less cuts than
larger tiles.
When you have decided on the tile that you
would like in your bathroom you will then need to speak to the staff at your Tiles Reigate shop as they will be
able to give you an estimate on the amount of tiles you will need. They will also be able to advise you on
colours, sizes and materials so you can complete your dream bathroom.
