Bathrooms, Wetrooms & Spas
The Stone and Ceramic Warehouse
What are the most important practical
considerations homeowners should
bear in mind when it comes to
specifying the bathroom flooring?
Are there any particular materials you
would (or would not) recommend?
The single most important thing to
consider when choosing a bathroom
tile is ‘is the tile fit for purpose?’. Tiles
have various finishes and different
levels of anti-slip which will all affect
their suitability. At SACW when
looking at tiles for a bathroom floor, we
would recommend one with a slightly
textured surface, and if it is a wet room
even more texture again. This will
ensure that they are anti-slip and safe.
A highly polished porcelain tile would
be unsuitable for a bathroom floor, as
they are very slippery when wet.
From a design point of view, there are
two ends of the spectrum when looking
at the most sought-after trends in
bathroom tiles. From sophisticated,
oversized slab tiles which go up to
a huge 1x3 metres and come in a
variety of different finishes from
marble, concrete and stone, down to
small, colourful, patterned tiles which
can add a fun feel to a room. Using a
large format tile means you will have
fewer grout lines which gives a feeling
of space, even in a small room, but
practically over the years there will
be less maintenance and cleaning and
required. With decorative tiles, it’s
a great way to add some colour and
personality to a room!
