Matte vs glazed floor tiles in bathroom reno
Comments (7)Unglazed has that "matte" or "honed" natural stone feel to it. So there's a little bit of texture on the surface that the glazed doesn't have. That micro-texture can hold grime, but again the tile is not porous, so the grime isn't going to penetrate into the floor. And your tile is dark, so dingy showing as dingy probably won't be an issue. When you clean it, it'll clean up like new. So yes, to address your questions? Glazed is easier to clean. Unglazed may look dirtier quicker....See MoreSearching for Tile for Bathroom Reno
Comments (1)Have you contacted the hotel to ask? I've had some good luck with that. ETA: This one looks close in the first picture. http://tilebar.com/iris-us-french-wood-larch-us-6x24-porcelain-tile.html?gdftrk=gdfV25837_a_7c2296_a_7c8489_a_7cTLIRFRENCHWOODLARCHUS6X24&utm_source=msn&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=(roi)+shopping&utm_content=all+products...See MoreBathroom Reno/ Tile choices
Comments (27)roarah~ Your shower looks beautiful:) Very much a look I'd go with. My husband wants all of your jets as well! A million thanks for doing the mock-ups as well! It certainly helps me visualize the look. Now to decide...for the shower walls, ether white subway w/ white grout (want as seamless of a look as possible) or porcelain/marble look-a-like (we'll probably go this way) mtnrdredux~ Many thanks as well for your feedback! I'm sure you're bathroom is stunning! One of our next door neighbors did a bathroom reno a few months ago so I'll ask them about what materials they used and if any issues. We're trying to avoid using marble in the shower itself, with the exception of perhaps in a niche depending on which route we go for shower walls. I'm still a little torn on the main bathroom floors. I stopped in this evening to another tile store and saw this one . I seriously need to stop going to stores as there are too many options that I do like. I suppose better than not finding any, right:)?? In lieu of floral, I like this too: I would only do this for the 'mat' look. In all likelihood, we'll end up re-tiling the 2nd bathroom so could use the circular or floral there. My husband prefers the herringbone look and I'm thinking that's the way we'll probably go. (But...I've been known to change my mind!) My husband also likes these pebbles for shower floor. Friends of ours have it in their FL condo, but I'm not convinced about this being an option here. Not really a cohesive look with flooring options, but certainly not slippery etc. There's one that's more grey than pictured below... This weekend, we're going to take a look at a few more vanity options and hopefully decide on some tile! Then, other decisions on faucets, toilets etc. Far too many options! Many, many thanks again for your help...I really appreciate it:)...See MoreBathroom reno - backsplash tile and mirror options
Comments (10)Thanks both. mvcanada, we were thinking of buying a vanity/sink combo online so not necessarily able to buy extra material for backsplash and counter shelf, though if we go with a basic white it shouldn't be too hard to match, right? I can't decide if I would prefer a shelf that extends from the sink countertop, or one that is separate and between the sink and mirror. Might depend on which vanity we choose (still looking, as evidenced by my other post). But good point on running whatever we have to meet the large mirror. pamal66, can you clarify your last bit about the metal strip or pencil liner? Is that for the end of the backsplash on the edge of the sink so it doesn't feel like it just ends by accident? We did consider tiling the wall with the sink/toilet but we were feeling like the current half wall of tile was making the room feel smaller, and with the layout, we'd have to tile everything or just the tub (because tiling by the sink/toilet plus the tub but not the last wall where the vent is would just feel unfinished). We haven't decided on wall or floor colors yet, though the fixtures and tub tile will probably be a basic white. We love this floor: And these are some of our vanity inspirations: (this last one with a white top instead) One thought I had about the tile border was that if it doesn't match the tub tile, it could match whatever we put in the shower niche, but that's as far as I've gotten in finding an actual tile!...See Moreenjoythejourney
