Can I use basalt tile on bathroom floor?
Comments (4)I've never used basalt, but I've seen it in raw stone as well as in resinated stone. It is recommended that it be sealed prior to installation. Epoxy grouts might be a mis-match if it's porous. Epoxy can penetrate the perimeter of porous stone tile and give an off-color "picture frame" look to each tile. I'd contact the tech department of the specific tile you're thinking of using. If all they can give you are give generic installation and care instructions, then contact the tech department of the epoxy grout manufacturer and ask if they recommend their epoxy grout with porous stone tile. There are so many versions of stone being used as floor and wall coverings these days. I can't keep up with them. FWIW, basalt is on my short list for a future bathroom in my own house. I haven't researched the installation specifics yet, because I first have to build the addition that the bathroom will be in. lol...See More12 x 24 tile transition from basement to bathroom
Comments (7)Agree with Patricia. You'll get better flow if you skip the herringbone hall and keep it one pattern. Sort of unusual to have the same tile in bathroom as in surrounding areas...you usually like a little definition to the bathroom. And 12X24 is reeeeally big for a bathroom floor tile-unless your bathroom is huge, the scale could look very odd. Just some considerations....See MoreMedium or Large Size Tile for Small Bathroom Floor
Comments (28)I always appreciate that people provide comments, even if well after the original posting date, as I am one who researches things and may be awhile going forth with a project. However, this bathroom update was completed months ago. I chose the larger tiles and am glad I did. BTW, the tile manufacturer will provide details on tile layout. This happened to be an Italian porcelain tile and, as far as offset, it needed to be in thirds, not half. Additionally, this tile was thicker than most porcelain tiles, so something to consider when you purchase tile. Cleaning was never an issue, only room size and perspective.

Comments (25)I like that pattern. I see three colours in it? Don't know how much differently the pattern would read with only two colours. Sometimes, a tweak results in a big change. You might want to search for floors with brick patterns and see what type of colour combos look best to you. Did you see the pattern page on the Fireclay site? Btw, Fireclay does have patterned tiles (not inexpensive). Sizes are 6x6, 8x8 and 6 x 12. As an example, here is their page for b&w and green motifs. And here's Restoration Tile's historic pattern info page. I believe both companies offer design assistance and did see a CAD tool and free design assistance on the Fireclay site. As mentioned by @houssaon, drawing it all out to scale on paper helps a ton too. You mentioned needing tiles in three weeks. I know labour is scarce these days but rushing decisions on permanent fixtures usually means something gets compromised so it can help to be flexible with the initial design idea. I don't know if being historically accurate with your new floor is important to you but if you're looking for something that seems outside current retail offering and must work with your current tub tiles, might be worth your while to reach out to a pro for design ideas. Feel free to share more pics of your bathroom in this post as well. Pros might be able to offer you helpful ideas. Good luck with everything! Hope you'll share "after" pics. :)...See Morexmkx
