Shop Tiles By Room

Shopping for tiles can be a daunting task, but by considering the specific needs of the room you are tiling, you can narrow down your options and find the perfect tiles for your space. Here are some things to consider when shopping for tiles by room usage:

Laundry Room

In a laundry room, you want tiles that are durable, easy to clean, and able to withstand heavy foot traffic. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are both excellent choices for this room, as they are hard, scratch resistant, and easy to clean. If you are tiling the floor, consider choosing a tile with a high slip resistance rating to ensure the safety of anyone using the room.

Kitchen

In a kitchen, you want tiles that are easy to maintain and resistant to stains and spills. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are both excellent choices for this room, as they are hard, scratch resistant, and easy to clean. If you are tiling the splashback, consider choosing a tile with a glossy finish to make it easier to wipe down and keep clean.

Bathroom

Although there are myriads of options of tile for your bathrooms, you want tiles that are durable, easy to clean, and have a high slip resistance rating for the floor, especially the shower area. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are both excellent choices for this room, as they are hard, scratch resistant, and easy to clean. If you are tiling the floor, consider choosing a tile with a rough or textured finish to help prevent slips and falls. For the walls, you may want to choose tiles that are water resistant and easy to clean, such as ceramic or porcelain tiles. If you want a more decorative touch, you can also consider using natural stone tiles or glass mosaic tiles on the walls.

Lounge

In a lounge or living room, you have more flexibility in terms of the type of tiles you can choose. Consider the overall design and style of the room, and choose tiles that complement and enhance the space. Natural stone tiles, such as marble or granite, can add a luxurious and sophisticated touch to a living room.

Patio and balcony

For a covered outdoor patio or balcony, you want tiles that are durable, able to withstand weather conditions, and easy to clean. Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice for these areas, as they are hard, scratch resistant, and able to withstand freezing temperatures. If you are tiling a balcony, consider choosing a tile with a high slip resistance rating to ensure the safety of anyone using the space.

Outdoor area

For an outdoor area, such as a pool deck or garden path, you want tiles that are durable, able to withstand extreme weather conditions, and have a high slip resistance rating. Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice for these areas, as they are hard, scratch resistant, and able to withstand freezing temperatures. If you are tiling a pool deck, consider choosing a tile with a rough or textured finish to help prevent slips and falls.

By considering these factors, you can find the perfect tiles for your specific room and needs. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice from a salesperson or professional, as they can offer valuable insight and guidance in the tile shopping process.
