How to Incorporate Colorful Tiles into Your Home Design

How to Incorporate Colorful Tiles into Your Home Design

How can you use colorful tiles at home?

  1. Floor Application
  2. Accent Wall Application
  3. Artistic Application
  4. Cleaning Dirty Grout

 

How can you use colorful tiles at home and how do you clean dirty grout? Dirty grout and colored tiles are not a good combination. You may find that your grout stands out more when you’re using colored tiles. Your attention is immediately drawn to the color and the next thing you’ll see is the dirt. This is very easy to do. You just need to dedicate some time off to be able to plan your new tile flooring and grout cleaning. This process is not an anything-goes situation. You need to prepare so you can properly execute the effect you want. Here’s how you can use colorful tiles at home and how to clean the excess grout for them.

 

Floor Application

Floor Application

60×60 Slate

Floor application can get a bit complicated. It depends on the design you want to go for. If you go too bright for your tiles, you can end up with a gaudy-looking floor design. You need to find balance. Try using neutral tiles with brights and accents. This can bring the balance you need without sacrificing the pop of color you desire to put. Try out this tile from Floor Center. The 60×60 Lithos collection has a matte/rustic tile called Abstract (ML06-7). It’s a combination of cool tones such as a subdued cerulean and a neutral gray. You can take out the guesswork for your tile designs.

If you’re into natural textures, there’s another tile design from the 60×60 Slate collection that is a rustic tile with a lapis lazuli color and gold veining. It’s an elegant, rustic, marble-like tile that can fit your foyer or kitchen. You can even use it to accent certain areas of your living room. The possibilities are endless when you’re dealing with floor applications for your tiles.

 

Accent Wall Application

Accent Wall Application

40×40 Strata

Accent wall application isn’t as complicated as floor application. If you have a base already present, which can be neutral or earth tone, you can readily incorporate the pop of color you need to bring your room to life. This is especially great for bathrooms.

How do you accent a matte tile? You will need to use a contrasting color or pattern. Blues can pop out when paired with a warm or earth tone color. One tile you can use to create your accent wall is from the 40×40 Strata collection. Creme (S425) is a glossy tile with an earthy baby blue tone and geometric pattern. It combines the best of both worlds. It also has the color and pattern you need to create a unique accent wall.

Accent walls are not limited to bathrooms. You may even use it for your swimming pool. If your pool is using the Blanc (01-0) tile of the glossy 30×30 Aura collection, you can pair it with Blue (170T) from the same collection. Then for the floor of your pool, you can use Azul (WP3303) which is a tile from the 30×30 Montage collection.

 

Artistic Application

Artistic Application

20×20 Chroma

Artistic applications are where you get to be creative but also careful. You can create different patterns for your surfaces and flooring. Take inspiration from the 20×20 Chroma collection by Floor Center.

This glossy tile collection includes a variety of colors that can help you create unique patterns and symbols for your surfaces, flooring, and more. You can create a pop art surface or flooring that can instantly bring attention to your room.

 

Cleaning Dirty Grout

Cleaning dirty grout is easy. Clean grout is the secret to clean-looking tiles for all of your rooms. Porous grout is bound to absorb dirt and spills. It’s important to clean them when you can. To preserve the integrity of the designs and accents you created above, wipe down the grout with hot water and apply a cleaning solution on the grout and leave it on as instructed on the packaging.

 

Key Takeaway

The Definitive Guide to Marble-Look Tiles

The Definitive Guide to Marble-Look Tiles

 

What do you need to know about marble tiles?

  1. Judge the quality
  2. Marble-look tiles need to be sealed
  3. Avoiding acids
  4. Slip resistance
  5. Protection from damage

 

When it comes to the multitude of tile choices available, you don’t need to immediately gravitate to the disadvantages of marble-look flooring. These tiles always give a unique look and a luxurious texture. You do need to know that these tiles require a lot of care and attention so that they can last for a while. If you’re curious, here’s a simple guide to acquiring the most ideal marble tiles and how to properly maintain them.

 

Judge the Quality

Judge the Quality

59.5×59.5 Atlantis Marble

You need to assess various parts of your marble tile so you know which one has the best quality. Start by looking at the back of your tile. If you find a mesh or net, this is what supports the tile. This means that your tile is much more prone to scratches or cracking. Marble tiles with this type of support are not suitable for high traffic areas as they can be prone to scratching and etching.

Now you need to flip your tile and look at the front. Angle it at 45 degrees and shine a light on it. If you notice any dull patches your tile may require filler. Avoid marble tiles with tons of dull patches. You may end up scratching off the filler in the future and it can cause unsightly holes in the tile itself.

Notice the veins and fissures in your marble tile, flip it over once more and check if they appear in the same spot. Some tiles are more prone to cracking if the fissure is deep enough. Use this type of tile along walls or low traffic areas. The quality of your marble tiles can be subjective especially if you’re approaching different manufacturers. Look for marble tiles with more stone than fiberglass resin support. Pure materials tend to work better than their fiberglass support counterparts.

 

Marble Tiles Need to Be Sealed

Marble tiles are natural stone tiles and like other natural materials, they tend to be porous. Pores can make your marble tiles more vulnerable to stains and spills. This can ruin the look and tone of your tile.

Protect your fresh marble tiles by treating them with a below-surface sealer and a surface finishing treatment. These treatments help the marble tiles last longer by sealing and filling the porous material while creating a protective layer on it. You can even apply this after 6-12 months to maintain the protective layer.

 

Avoid Acids

Avoid Acids

Marble tiles are alkali. Alkali materials clash with acids since their components make them a base. If you’re using a marble floor, it might end up becoming discolored if you accidentally pour acids such as vinegar on the surface. This is due to the chemical reaction between bases and acids. Even fruits, sodas, and soaps can cause an unwanted chemical reaction.

If you happen to spill these on the surface of your marble tile, be sure to wipe it off immediately. Adding the sealants mentioned earlier can help protect your tiles but you still need to avoid accidentally spilling anything remotely acidic on your marble tile.

 

See If It’s Slip Resistant

Did you know that slip resistance is measured by the coefficient of friction when it comes to floor tiles? If the rating of the coefficient of friction is high, you’ll find that it’s more slip-resistant compared to lower rates. You need to determine the finish of your marble-look tile to know how slip-resistant it is.

Polished tiles tend to cause less friction which can make it prone to slipping. Avoid using polished tiles in your kitchen, bathrooms, and entryways. Now, for a slip-resistant option, marble-look tiles that are honed, tumbled or brushed have a much more slip-resistant surface. Use these tiles for more high-traffic areas.

 

Protect It from Damage

Protect It from Damage

Marble may seem like your typical stone but it’s actually quite soft compared to other materials. Properly caring for your marble flooring can help avoid damage from chipping and cracking. When you’re installing your marble tiles, make sure that there are no gaps in between the tile adhesive. Gaps cab create air bubbles that can result in weak spots under the floor. Weak spots will eventually lead to cracking.

To avoid scratching the surface of your marble tile, add an extra layer of protection on the foot of your furniture. Install rubber or acrylic pads so you can avoid any scratches on the surface. Regular cleaning can also eliminate any grit and dirt that can eventually cause small scratches on the surface of your marble tile.

 

Key Takeaway

Purchasing the perfect set of marble-look tiles and making them last can be astoundingly easy if you follow these guidelines. Any type of tile needs some form of maintenance and preparation; marble-look flooring is no exception.

Installation Tips

Tiles can be slippery once they get in contact with water. Take a look at a tiled shower, notice how it uses a number of grout lines. The lines provide excellent slip resistance for feet. However, this doesn’t apply to outdoor tiles as these tiles are generally larger. The tiles for the outdoors should be abrasive enough so it can provide enough slip-resistance.

  • Slate

Slate is a natural stone that’s perfect for the outdoors. Slate is a rock formed under significant heat and pressure. It’s durable and quite resistant to water. This natural stone has a surface that prevents it from slipping.

 

Outdoor Tile Designs to Use

Your outdoor area can look better with the right material and design. It’s an integral part of home design and landscaping. It adds an element of interest and texture that can add contrast to the overall design and architecture of your home.
