Choosing the Right Tiles for Your Bathroom in Sutherland Shire
🚿 Tile Selection Guide for Your Bathroom
✅ Why Choosing the Right Tiles for Your Bathroom Matters
Selecting the right tiles for your bathroom is essential for style, durability, and safety. The tiles you choose will affect the look, feel, and maintenance of your bathroom for years to come. At Paiva Tiling Co, we help homeowners in Cronulla, Sutherland Shire, and Sydney select tiles that match their lifestyle and budget while ensuring your bathroom remains functional and water-resistant.
✅ Key Factors When Choosing Bathroom Tiles
1️⃣ Slip Resistance
For bathroom floors, always choose slip-resistant tiles to prevent accidents in wet areas. Look for tiles with a high slip rating (P3-P4) to ensure safety, especially in shower areas.
2️⃣ Tile Size
• Large tiles create a modern, spacious look with fewer grout lines.
• Smaller tiles are better for slopes in shower recesses and niches.
• Mosaic tiles add design features to shower walls or niches.
3️⃣ Colour and Finish
• Light-coloured tiles make small bathrooms appear larger and brighter.
• Matt finishes are often safer for floors, while gloss finishes add brightness to walls.
4️⃣ Durability
Bathrooms face constant moisture and heat, so select tiles designed for wet areas. Porcelain tiles are durable, water-resistant, and low-maintenance.
5️⃣ Maintenance
Consider the ease of cleaning. Smooth, glazed tiles are easier to clean, while textured tiles may require more regular maintenance.
✅ Types of Tiles for Bathrooms
• Ceramic Tiles: Affordable, easy to clean, ideal for walls.
• Porcelain Tiles: Highly water-resistant, durable for floors and walls.
• Natural Stone Tiles: Luxurious but require sealing and maintenance.
• Mosaic Tiles: Great for feature walls, niches, and shower floors.
✅ Why Tile Choice Impacts Waterproofing
Selecting the right tiles impacts how your waterproofing membrane is applied and how the fall is created towards the drain. Large, thick tiles may need adjusted slopes, while smaller tiles adapt to drainage better in showers.
