Hyderabad: With so many options available in the market, is it challenging for you to choose the right tile for your home and office? Do you want to move away from boring plain colours and go for more vibrant options?
Over the years, the options of tiles have diversified to include vitrified tiles, ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, cement tiles, quartz and stone, making it a huge challenge to select one of these and apply it accordingly.
Here are some tips for choosing the right tile for your space:
* Simplifying the basics:
The first step is to decide what kind of tile you want. If it is for flooring, vitrified tiles are the best choice as they are durable and can withstand heavy traffic.
If you are choosing tiles for walls, you can choose ceramic or porcelain as they are impervious or do not absorb stains. For outdoors, it is better to choose anti-skid tiles with a matte finish.
* Look up and down
Nowadays tiles are available in a variety of sizes. If the room is small and you use large-sized tiles on the floor, the room will look even smaller. For rooms, it is advisable to use medium-sized tiles. Also, it is a good idea to choose a size that causes minimal wastage.
* Choose the right finish:
Due to the trend of digital printing, it is now possible to create any pattern on the tiles.
* The right color matters:
If your tiles are for flooring, it is advisable to choose light colours, which create an intimate look inside the house. For outdoors, one can experiment with darker colours. We should also remember that when we use light colours it makes the room look more spacious and airy, while dark colours are easier to maintain.
* plan ahead
Tiles are very fragile, so whenever you have to buy tiles, you should always buy more than what you need. This can prevent the problem of cuts and breaks. Nowadays most companies offer refunds on unused boxes of tiles. You can also check this out.
* The mortar is correct
While it was once trendy to use contrast, it is always advisable to use a fill that matches the color of your tile. The focus should be on thin grout lines and making them as less visible as possible.
* to mix
A single tile laid across the entire surface gives a more coherent and spacious feel. It is a good idea to experiment with two to three tiles to make your space look attractive. So, when it comes to experimenting with borders you can always create a combination of twin tiles. For walls, three tiles can be used to create a unique pattern.
* Ability to absorb water
A technical specification tells a lot about the particular tiles. You should keep in mind that tiles that absorb less water are more durable and have a longer life.
