Wall Tiles – Bathroom and Kitchen

When you first think about tiling your walls you may think that it is going to be an easy job, well it isn’t too hard if you know what design you want and how you want it all laid out. But if you don’t then you are going to need to think about it for a while and have a look about for wall tiles that will fit your needs,

Wall tiles can have take so many different designs and styles but also you will want to think about what type of material you would like them to be made from. I would definitely suggest looking at tiles that are ceramic. I suggest this because ceramic tiles are the strongest tiles and most resistant to scratches and damage, they are also easy to maintain.

Ceramic wall tiles are made from clay which are placed into huge ovens which heat the clay to very high temperatures giving the tiles a very hard structure. Due to the way that these tiles are created means that the tiles are very strong and will be able to last quite a long time if they are installed and kept properly. Ceramic wall tiles are very low maintenance because they are so easy to clean and keep in good shape. All you need to do to clean these types of tiles if to wipe them with a wet cloth or a use a mop. Ceramic wall tiles do not hold onto dirt so they do not get dirty easily

You can get wall tiles in many different sizes so you are going to need to think about this when you are deciding which tiles to use, you will probably want to make sure that your tiles are a proportionate size to the room that you are putting them in, for example if you put a lot of large tiles into a small room then the room may look strange and out of place (unless that is the look you are going for).

If you are installing wall tiles and you want to have a curve shape of tiles then I would recommend using mosaic tiles because they are smaller tiles and you can install them a lot easier on a curve than any other tile. This is because the joints for these wall tiles allow the finish to bend rather than bridge therefore it makes sure that the back of the tile is securely fastened to the wall.

Also if you are thinking about installing wall tiles you are going to need to make sure that your wall has a flat surface for you to place them onto, ceramic wall tiles can be placed on pretty much any flat surface. You need to make sure that the wall is going to be able to support all the tiles weight when you put them into place. If the wall doesn’t support the weight then you will need to think about getting the wall reinforced first with a wall board or something along those lines.

Remember to always consult a expert that you know or at your local tiling store before proceeding just to make sure.
