Ceramic tiles are a very popular choice for bathroom tiles, because they are extremely versatile.When we talk about ceramic tiles in the UK, it is worth noting, that we are probably referring to procelain tiles.Porcelain tiles, despite being associated to being fragile are more durable and generally stronger than ceramic.The name ‘ceramic’ has simply evolved due to it’s production within the ceramic industry!

A bathroom needs tiles that can withstand wet, hot and very humid conditions. That is why ceramic tiles are suggested as they have a variety of applications.Floor tiling is exceptionally popular in a bathroom these days too.

Tiling in a wet room simply finishes off the look of a contemporary and modern room, whereas if vinyl flooring is installed it can look fairly basic and as if corners have been cut to save money.A tiled floor should be considered, as anything else may look dated and be less durable.

Tiles come in different sizes, with different shapes and varying from the very large to tiny mosaic tiles.  They can often be single coloured or patterned and many now have Spanish or Moroccan influences, although some traditional floral tiles do still exist.A tiny bathroom would not suit some of the very strong colours, but a larger than average room would look stunning.

Opting for cheaper, standard tiles in a bathroom is simply not an option, since they will not last, will peel off the walls and whilst you may think that this could look somewhat ‘shabby chic’ the reality is that bacteria and damp can linger behind loose tiles.This is not a good idea honestly.  The bathroom is the wettest area of the house so it is one room where you have to eradicate dampness in order to stop it getting hold.  So forget shabby chic and instead plump for timeless elegance!

The sheer range of ceramic bathroom tiles available now means that any taste and preference can be catered for.Careful consideration should be given when choosing your tiles as you need to ensure that you choose correctly in order to achieve the desired results.
