How To Choose The Right Marble Tiles Or Travertine Tiles For Your Bathroom
If you are remodeling your bathroom, you have a number of different options to choose from. Many people love the look of tiled walls but may be confused by the range of choices they have. Do you want to finish your walls and floor with marble tiles? Or would travertine tiles be better? There is such a wide range that it can be difficult to pick. Here is a look at some of the most commonly available types of tiles which might make picking a little easier.
Marble tiles are some of the most popular. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that marble is available in a range of different colors and patterns. Marble tiles often have a base color that is altered by the presence of veins of other colors running through it. You can find marble tiles that are almost pure white or ones that are vividly colored in red, yellow, even black and dark green. The advantage is that many kinds of marble tiles are very hard, and that the color goes all the way through the tile, rather than just on the surface.
Travertine tiles are often mistakenly called marble tiles, but it is a completely different type of stone. Travertine tiles are durable and often have air pockets that can be filled or not to give the stone a different look. Travertine tiles can be a great choice for floor tiles and they can look beautiful on walls either around the tub or around the sink. If you are interested in travertine tiles, you should decide what color and shape you want the tiles to be. Travertine tiles can be found in large squares or in small mosaic style tiles. They are also available in a range of colors. Like marble tiles, travertine tiles also have color which goes all the way through and which is not simply limited to the top surface of the tile.
Travertine tiles and marble tiles are not the only ones available for your bathroom. You can also choose tiles made out of ceramics and porcelain. These are also hard and very durable but there are a few disadvantages to using them. Although they are available in a wide range of colors like travertine tiles and marble tiles, ceramic and porcelain tiles are prone to chipping. With ceramic tiles this means that the white tile underneath will show through and if the rest of the tile is very dark, this can be quite obvious. Porcelain tiles have color which goes all the way through the tile but they can also chip badly if you are not careful.
Remember that whether you are getting marble tiles, travertine tiles or other tiles you need to install them and care for them properly. All tiles should be installed using a proper adhesive and grouted using grout in a complimentary color. A good consultant can give you advice about which products are the best to use since some cleaning products may react with certain tile materials.
