There
are many different types of tile for a shower. It is important to consider the
benefits and drawbacks of each specific type of shower tile especially if the
tile will be used on the shower floor. Aesthetics, safety and durability are
all considerations and choosing the proper tile is largely a matter of personal
preference.
When
choosing bathroom tile for a shower you need to consider materials and colors.
A bold colorful bathroom may be appropriate for a child’s bathroom but sophisticated
colors may be best for an adult or guest bathroom. Patterning the shower tile to
fit the mood of the room is important to create the right atmosphere.
Ceramic
and glass tiles are very popular materials for use in showers. Tiles made of
linoleum, concrete, or stone can also be used. Specialty tiles might be made of
resin or metal. Whichever you choose, it is important that the tiles will stand
up to frequent wetness and cleaning. Harsh washing and certain chemicals can
degrade some specialty tiles quickly. Be sure to use proper cleaning materials.
In
terms of design, there are many different types of bathroom tile for a shower.
Many people choose large tiles because they are easier to install than smaller
tiles. Often, people find that natural variegated colors look good in a shower,
or the simplicity of plain white may be desired.
Beyond
color and material, there are also very unique tiles made specifically for
showers. Some tiles even change color in hot or cold water. It is also common
to see tiles that are decorated with bath-themed images designed specifically
for bathrooms and showers.
Using
regular shapes like squares is most common for shower tile however some people
choose more complex designs. Piecing together tile by hand can be extremely
difficult, and it can be even more difficult if the shape is on multiple
planes.
