Bathroom- tiling floor and walkin shower..use same tile or not
Comments (5)Instead of matching your shower floor tile to your other tile maybe you should consider matching your shower floor to your granite. We used the same granite as our countertop for our shower base. It's an option that may be a little pricier but it has definite advantages. There are no grout lines, no mold or mildew, it is guaranteed (at least ours is) not to leak, it has a low threshold, and installation is faster. Ask your fabricator if he does stone shower pans/basins. The link below is for the company we used but I am posting it just or basic information. You can see most of our stone shower pan in the picture below: Here is a link that might be useful: Stone shower pans...See MoreEffects of using the same tile for floor and backsplash?
Comments (6)screen photos cannot show real life lighting experience well. Do not search the web for examples of good lighting; it's a waste of your time. One thing to learn is that long thin tube fluorescent bulbs have improved their color rendition astronomically in the last ten years. So, use some of them. LED's will replace most of the incandescent type bulbs within a few years, so keep an open mind and be ready to switch. Or, install some LED's , or a lot of them. Xenons are incandescent. All incandescent type bulbs produce heat primarily and light as a secondary output. So, don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes by claiming xenons are better. (It may be true, that they are better, but it's still a lie.) Low-voltage (12V or 24V) produce great white color that is stable over time. -- I agree with your conclusions as stated, with one modification: no need to go to "standard or smaller tiles" although that may be what the market has to offer. You may find that beautiful flat things in larger sizes are not available. It is hard to make something beautiful and flat in a large size. Your floor tile is a good tile to walk on. Backsplash material has to show something else to the eye. It could be a continuous sheet of stainless steel. It could be something that has (relatively speaking) some beauty or refinement in its coloration. A sheet of stainless steel and the glue behind it take less than 1/8th of an inch away from your counter. Thin thin glass tile (nominally 1/8th") and the glue behind it take about 1/4th of an inch away from your counter. Think about that. You have a small kitchen. Ikea has a 1/8th" aluminum panel they sell as a backsplash (about $20 for a two square foot panel), called Fastbo. Buy a couple and you can return them a month later after you have lived with them in simulation mode for a month. Tape the panels to the wall behind the cooktop. Here is a link that might be useful: Fastbo backsplash...See MoreSame floor tile into walk-in shower
Comments (8)Creative Tile Eastern, Thank you for the photo examples. As I said to Sophie, we may very well find we need a door due to drafts! Our plan from the beginning was barrier free walk in shower and so floor trusses were ordered to allow for this. Door can be easily added if we decide to do so later. Fortunately we planned ahead!...See MoreWhat to do when you can't find the same floor tile?
