How to Choose the Right Wall Tiles for Your Home?
With endless options in the market when it comes to wall tiles for homes, it can be challenging to decide on one option. People mostly get confused because of the different materials, patterns, and colours available, which makes it even hard to understand what will complement the space the most. So, we have mentioned a few tips that can help you narrow down the list and choose the best tile for your bathroom walls or your kitchen:
- Style of the room: The most important thing to consider is the overall style of the room – whether you are going for a traditional look or something modern. This will be extremely helpful in determining the type of tile that will suit your needs. For example, if you are looking for something classic, porcelain or ceramic wall tiles are perfect. On the other hand, if you want something more contemporary, glass or stone tiles are a much better option.
- The function of the space: The functionality of the space will determine the type of tiles you need. For instance, you cannot use tiles that are susceptible to water damage or permeable on your bathroom walls. The bathroom is the one place where there is a lot of moisture. Hence, the need for water-resistant tiles.
- Aesthetics of the room: Do not forget about aesthetics! Since wall tiles can make or break the look of a room, make sure to choose a colour, shape or pattern that complements the rest of your décor. You will also need to pay attention to the size of the tile. You do not want overly large tiles or a tiny mosaic-like finish.
Our Tile Installation Process: How We Do Things
Mitcham Tile Centre provides professional installation services for bathroom and kitchen wall tiles in Mitcham and Melbourne. The whole process is done in the following ways:
- Preparation of Tile Layout: First, the surface of your bathroom walls is prepared. Next, the layout of the tiles to be installed is determined. While starting from the bottom of the wall, tiles must be fixed on the horizontally and vertically marked lines on the wall sections. This will ensure a professional, long-lasting look and style for your walls.
- Tile Fixing: After the preparation of the tile layout, tile fixing is the next step. No matter if it is porcelain, natural stone, or ceramic wall tiles, they must be sealed before they are installed. This is done to avoid any grease or adhesives from sticking onto the walls in the wrong places. Depending on the material of the tile, the right adhesive and equipment must be chosen.
- Ensuring Proper Absorbency: When sticking the tiles to the walls, it is important to make sure that the tiles are placed properly before adhesives are applied. A good adhesive will glue the tiles in their respective places properly without slipping or falling off. Thus, the absorbency of the substrate is crucial for the tiles to be held in their places appropriately. Tiling over a painted surface takes a longer time for the tiles to be glued onto the walls. On the other hand, too much adhesive can cause the tiles to slip from their place.
- Proper Use of Tile Spacers: Tile spacers are important to ensure proper spacing between each tile. Also important is the use of a spirit level to check for regular intervals between the horizontal and the vertical lines.
- Getting Clean Cuts: Clean cuts contribute to the final look and aesthetics of the tiled wall. We have high-quality electric tile cutters that deliver professional cuts every single time. Getting thick porcelain tiles fixed requires professional tile cutters, and our experts can perform the task perfectly.
