Select ceramic tiles that contribute to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Tiles that mimic natural materials such as wood or stone add a cozy feel to the space. Warm colors and subtle patterns are more relaxing. Choose appropriately sized tiles to minimize the number of grout lines, which can be difficult to clean and may become a tripping hazard if not properly maintained. Larger tiles create a more seamless look and reduce maintenance efforts. Smaller tiles can increase traction, ease transitions, and have greater sloping ability for showers.
- Baths, entries, and kitchens are ideal places for ceramic tile.
- Epoxy grout should be used. It is non-porous, which makes it highly resistant to stains and water absorption. This is particularly beneficial in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.
- Shower curbs can be done via rolling ramp instead of an actual curb to help with accessibility. Be careful to water proof the entire floor in this scenario.
