Bath Shower Home Design

Tiling a bathroom floor is one of the most cost- effective home improvement projects that needs moderate skills and correct materials. It’s a great way to add value to your bathroom remodel and can allow you to add upgrades like radiant heat. It’s easier than ever to source great-looking, affordable tile . Choosing the right tile color and style When selecting a tile for the floor, the color should be neutral and coordinate with your cabinetry, paint color and shower or bathtub. If your bathroom floor tends to get messy from dust and debris, consider a tile that isn’t a solid color – a variety of color changes or textures will do a better job hiding dirt than a solid color. Using a light color may contribute to a greater sense of space but that theory isn’t always true. The color choice should be more dependent upon how the color of the floor tile relates to the other colors in the room. Be sure you bring home samples of your top choices and set them on the floor next to your ot...

Dear James: My house is about five years old, and there is a small leak on the ceiling under the shower stall with a ceramic tile floor . What could be causing this leak and how do I go about fixing it? — Jess N. Dear Jess: If your house is only five years old, the most likely cause of the leak is a faulty waterproof membrane under the shower. Unless you saw your house being built, you probably had no idea there even is a membrane under the shower. Poor membrane installation procedures are often the culprit. Most people think a ceramic tile is waterproof itself and that this is what blocks leaks. Although the tiles themselves will hold water, the grout between them is permeable to water. If someone takes a long shower and the tile has standing water on it for a long while, some water will get through. A ceramic tile shower stall is made by first framing the shower stall area . A tough waterproof plastic membrane is laid on the floor and sealed around the drain opening. The membrane...

Natural stone has long been used as a surfacing material for walls and floors due to its beauty and durability.  But in light of newer materials like laminates that are equal to or even better than stone, does it make sense any longer to use natural stone?  The answer may surprise you. Nature's Best Features Duplicated First, understand why stone has been used at all.  When looking for surface material thousands of years ago, people turned to the heaviest, most durable, and prevalent product they could find.  And it was right under foot, literally. Fieldstone acted as the first stone surface material .  When quarrying and cutting techniques developed , granite and marble slabs could be sliced directly out of the earth.  But stone was heavy, unwieldy, difficult to obtain.  Despite its thickness and strength, moisture could still affect it. Ceramic tiles represented an improvement on stone.  Made of minerals, it was a dense, stone-like product.  Its thinness, light weight, and moi...

When I was at Mom’s last year helping with the  renovation of her master bathroom, we also did a small update to the small, second bathroom. (Mind you: Five children grew up just fine traveling daily through this “tiny” bathroom. Don’t even get me started with today’s 20-something house hunters who can’t LIVE in a house with a bathroom this SMALL.) For the small bathroom freshening , I count basically five steps or decisions — mostly inexpensive ones — that gave the bathroom a fresh and classy sassy new look. The most expensive and only “structural” change — but the one with a very fundamental quality impact — was tiling the floor, eliminating vinyl: Step one: Replace vinyl floor with stock ceramic tile. We pulled out inexpensive 1970s- era vinyl flooring , and replaced it with white octagon-and- dot ceramic floor tile . We got the ceramic at Lowe’s, it only cost about $2.50 per square foot, as I recall. We used medium gray grout so that the shape of the tile would pop. And so begin...

Hi guys, Been searching the web in general on this topic and there seems to be 12 opinions for every aspect of tiling, ALL of them 110% correct, tried and tested over 140 years of tiling experience... I'm more confused now than when I started! Anyway, I'm installing a complete new bathroom suite and have done the plumbing, subfloor, vinyl covering, toilet and basin so far. I've also tiled the wall behind the basin and it's pretty decent. Tiles are ceramic 361x276x9mm with a stone effect print . The backs are ribbed 'biscuit' (I think that's what it's known as anyway) type. I'm using Mapei BuildFix flexible tile adhesive along with the matching acrylic wall primer/sealer and flexible grout . I've also got some grout sealer. I'm tiling onto plasterboard (the green coloured stuff) which has been repaired and sealed with the acrylic primer mentioned above. Nex...
