Tiles are a popular option for bathrooms because they are water resistant, making them easy to keep clean and dry. They also look stunning and can give your bathroom a more elevated appearance. Here are 4 tips for using tile in your bathroom. Where to Use Tiles Your floor isn't the only place in your bathroom that gets wet on a regular basis. Humidity often damages bathroom walls and ceilings or causes mold and mildew growth. Tiling these areas makes your bathroom easier to clean and also gives it a unique look. Choose the Right Tiles Athens plumbing companies have many different types of tiles that can work well in your bathroom. Natural stone can be used for both floors and walls to give your bathroom a more continuous appearance. Glass tiles are another popular choice for walls and showers because they can come in any color imaginable to fit in with your bathroom design. Ceramic and porcelain are similar in appearance to natural stone but cost less and aren't as heavy, making them a good choice for walls and ceilings. Choose the Right Size Smaller tiles are less slippery, so it's a good idea to use them for your bathroom floors. On the other hand, larger tiles are easier to clean and work well on your walls, especially around your bath or shower area. Use the Right Caulk The most common complaint people have with tiles is that the caulk tends to become discolored or attract mold. Using a high-quality caulk that is mold- and moisture-resistant can help preserve the appearance of your tiles (and your bathroom in general). Regular cleaning also helps keep your bathroom looking its best. However, even the best caulks will have to be removed and replaced every few years because of the humidity in your bathroom. Ask your Athens plumbing contractors for advice on choosing the best caulk for your bathroom.
