Matt V Gloss Tiles

I often get asked the difference between gloss and matt tiles and generally everyone knows the basics of this, just from doing something as simple as painting a wall. Most of it is common sense but we try to deep dive into alternatives and modern techniques in tackling the age-old choice. Most bathroom renovations we do in Perth use I would say seventy percent gloss wall tiles and ninety percent matt floor tiles, this, however, is not 100% accurate but it is pretty close. Below we will give the best pros and cons of matt v gloss tiles. CLICK HERE OR THE IMAGE BELOW FOR FULL ARTICLE

Tiling Trends and Perth Tiling Advice

Patterned Tile Floor

Choosing the perfect floor tile can be just as much of a minefield as choosing the wall tile. However, as floor space is usually a lot smaller than wall space so you can often make a great impact on a lesser costing. With that said the decorative or patterned floor can be risky to do as it often will be the main feature of the room. So we will deep dive below on the pros and cons of such a design.

Carrara Wall Tile Trend

Carrara is a city and commune in the Province of Massa and Carrara, notable for the white or blue-grey marble quarried there. Why did you need to know this? Well, you didn’t but I thought you should just in case you wondered why I kept using the word, Carrara. When I first started in tiling I always assumed it meant marble in Italian just because every marble tile we laid was called this.

Should I Embrace Timer Look Bathroom Tiles

Whether oak, pine or timber-look tiles now not only look more realistic, they also come in lengths similar to those of the floorboards in the rest of your home. This could be just the excuse you’ve been waiting for to kick off your next bathroom renovation.
