white floor tile for white bathroom
Comments (14)Thank you very much for responses. I would love to check out all leads possible. It is amazing how little of white floor tiles stores carry around. I grew up in the house which had similar tile as on Bill's checkered floor and that house was 100+ years. Tile was in excellent shape and easy to maintain. Annie, thank you for letting me know about Powdered Sugar tile. I was thinking about mixing it up with Satin Sheets. But my fixtures are all white with grey pigment so putting tiles with warm yellow undertones is not an option. I did found couple of stores that carry Crossville tile and am going there to check it out. Annkathryn I love how nicely you placed tile with small accents. Works wonders and looks cute and charming. Is it easy to clean? I am somewhat worried that every speck will be showing on such tile. I am sure this forum seen plenty of people agonizing over their tile/paint/ fixtures... fill the blank/ choices... am feeling that floor tile is going to pull my design together ...so pressure is on...;)...See MoreWhite marble shower, white grout if bathroom floor has platinum?
Comments (7)Is the Platinum the Laticrete Platinum? If so what about Silver Shadow? It is a very soft gray that is almost white, but looks great with Platinum. Are you using cementitious grout or epoxy? I know many have used SS for their light or white tiles. Here is Silver Shadow epoxy on the bottom vertical grout spaces. The top area was grouted with a 50/50 ratio of Platinum and SS. The middle row was with Raven and SS. Note that there is a halo around the marble, like it is still wet. Epoxy can do that with marble, I just looked at my tile boards after over a month of drying and the halo is still slightly there with the darker grouts. But not as marked as in this picture. So that is something to consider. Here is the Silver Shadow epoxy with my bright white tiles. With these tiles the SS looks light gray, but with the tiles above it looks almost too white for my taste: I took Laticrete epoxy Platinum and mixed it with a little bit of Silver Shadow for an in between gray for my black slate floors. It is in a 3:1 ratio. The colors mixed very nicely. The grout sample on the left is the SS and the one on the right is the Platinum. It didn't take much SS to lighten it up significantly. If I did this over I would just have used Platinum. My DH really likes the combo. He thinks it ties in with the tub. It is relative isn't it, because it is not white at all but appears white. I will be having a marble listello, as seen above in the sample board, with my white tile wainscot. I might mask the marble off when I grout the white field tile with Silver Shadow. Then I would plan to come back and grout the marble with a reverse blend of Silver Shadow 3parts to Platinum 1 part. Nothing like trying to complicate things. That's one of the benefits with DIY. But if I was paying someone to grout, I would not consider these mixes....See MoreWhite on White bathroom vanity?
Comments (19)Thanks for everyone's advice. I'm going to go to the granite fabricator on Thursday. The person I spoke to on the phone warned me that they don't have a lot of quartz remnants and that they get snatched up fairly quickly when they do, so I will have a look around at the granites as well. I know I won't find all white granite, but maybe something will tickle my fancy. I now have a new problem. The person I spoke to at the fabricator is concerned about the narrowness of the vanity. It's only 17.5 in. deep, the current top is 18 in. deep. She said between the backsplash and the faucet hole cut outs, that I will only have 12.75 in for my desired undermount sink. As you see, right now it's a drop in. I don't want to do a drop in with real stone, so I have been scouring the internet for small undermount sinks. I posted this question on the bathroom forum, but do any of you have any experience with either of these sinks or any other sinks for a narrow vanity?
