Let’s take about bathroom floor tiles
Bathroom floor tiles are primarily used for 2 purposes, one they should have antiskid properties, two they should help reducing water swepage.
In addition to that, you have to give a slope in the bathroom floor, so the water don’t get stagnant on the floor itself. A recommended slope of 1 inch per feet is required, so all the water from the floor reaches the drain outlet. This will make your bathroom floor dry quickly.
Will choosing bathroom floor tiles, avoid glossy or polished tiles, as they are slippery in nature. And with water on top of it, you are asking for trouble. A matt, or rustic finish tile is highly recommend for bathrooms.
Now about bathroom wall tiles,
Tiles are primarily used in bathrooms to cover all the plumbing and electric lines, Criss crossing across the bathroom.
And then it also prevents, fungi, algae, germs, so it is hygienic in nature.
Also the colour & shade does not get changed even with years of using of cleaning agents and acid. So maintenance is simple and easy.
The choice of tiles used in bathrooms is unlimited, and there are various tiles sizes, colours, textures, punches, highlighters, shades, grains.
It is your absolute personal choice as they come in all sizes and colours and also in various budget. But now a days 2 X 1 sizes are in trend for bathrooms. It will a apt size for Indian bathrooms. And it gives the best look by the dimensions. Floor you can use a matching 1 X 1 tile or a 2 X 2 tile too…
