One of the hottest new bathroom design trends to come along quite some time is what is known as a wet room. Simply put it is a completely waterproofed room which has your typical bathroom facilities. There is usually a walk-in shower, toilet, and a sink incorporated into the room. Sometimes, you will find that there is also a bathtub. Because it needs to be completely waterproof a common choice for this style of restroom is a type of nonporous tile. Let’s discuss three types of tile traditionally used in the construction of these modern bathroom designs.
Granite – because it comes in a wide variety of color variation and patterns it tends to be a very popular choice for this type of project. Another advantage that it has is that it is a very rugged stone which easily stands up to a high amount of traffic. One of the reasons that many people choose this tile is because of its reasonable price point. You may find other tile choices which are more reasonably priced, however you will find many that are far more expensive as well.
Ceramics and Porcelain Tiles – another tile selection which is in a reasonable price range for a wet room installation is also available in a wide array of colors and beautiful patterns for you to choose from. While these are clearly a great choice, they do require experienced installation professionals. The reason you should use a skilled professional when installing this type of tile is that it is more brittle and thus, less forgiving than some of the other materials available for this purpose.
Travertine Tile – a naturally occurring sedimentary stone beautiful natural color tones is a preferred choice for many. It is used in a number of luxury wet room installations to give a warm, natural feel to the ambiance of the room. Something important to note about almost all natural stone tiles is that they must be sealed, and they must be sealed correctly so that they last for an extended period of time. If they are not sealed correctly you could up having to reseal them from time to time to preserve their efficiency.
If you start looking around at the different kinds of tile out on the market today, you will find many other options available to you. Some other choices include marble and slate tiles which are also great choices for a tile wet room home improvement project. You are always going to be trying to find the right balance between cost and aesthetics, but hopefully this information will help you with that decision.
Wet rooms are an interesting and hot topic in today’s interior design world. You can find even more reading about it in this luxury wet room article discussing some of the things to look for in one of these modern bathroom designs.
