Bathroom Floor Tiles

Ceramic tiles are perfect for the bathroom floor because they are durable, come in different patterns, shapes and sizes and do not absorb moisture or grime. Bathroom floor ceramic tiles come in different shapes like octagons, square, rectangles etc. Tiles for borders and accents may be smaller or may come in shapes like diamond or triangle.

There are two kinds of bathroom floor ceramic tiles – glazed and unglazed. Unglazed tiles made using clay with a grainy texture. These tiles have a rough texture and are slip resistant. They can also withstand a lot of wear. Quarry tiles, terracotta tiles etc are examples for unglazed tiles. Glazed tiles are made using clay or shale to slate or porcelain. These tiles sometimes come in a single solid color. You can also find bathroom floor ceramic tiles with patterns and effects. Glazed tiles are made by heating the clay and minerals at a high temperature till they harden and become less porous. They are then overlaid with a glass finish and subjected to high temperatures so that the glass melts onto the tile, leaving a glossy, smooth surface. Glazed tiles give the room a dramatic effect. Choose solid, cool colors like cream, peach, pale green etc to give the room a peaceful and relaxing feel.

Hand painted bathroom floor ceramic tiles can create a nice impression. You can use such tiles as the centerpiece against a solid colored backdrop or you can use them to cover the entire bathroom floor. Give borders and highlights to accent their beauty and style.

Mexican hand painted tiles and terracotta tiles create a nice Mediterranean look for your bathroom. Lay them out in a creative fashion to create the perfect ambiance for the bathroom.

The kind of grout you use also makes a big difference in the overall look of the bathroom. If you use single, solid colors for the bathroom, use colored grout to add a dash of color to the room. Make sure to seal the grout using sealer because grout is prone to moisture and mildew.

In all, ceramic tiles are perfect for just about any kind of bathroom and fits with nay kind of decor.
