Bathroom Tiles

Porcelain Tiles

Although ceramic tiles may look similar to porcelain tiles, they are quite different in the way that they are manufactured. The main difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles is that porcelain tile is much denser and less porous. This makes it ideal for use in the bathroom and kitchen floors.

Another important difference is that, unlike ceramic tiles. With porcelain tiles, the colour runs right through the tile and in addition to them being very hard-wearing. Any wear or chips to the tile will be difficult to see. We stock a vast selection of porcelain tiles here whether you’re looking for tiles for your whole bathroom. Walls, floor, splashback or feature wall.

One example is the Villeroy & Bosch Bernina porcelain tile which can be used as wall cladding as well as a hard-wearing floor tile. Available in five distinctive colours, beige, brown, cream, grey and anthracite. The large size of this tile means that you cover 0.8 square metres for each tile. The quartzite finish to these tiles gives the tiles a very subtle shimmering look, luxury is in a box from Villeroy & Bosch.

Porcelain tiles are long-wearing and although the surface is hard to mark, they are making a mark in the bathroom industry.

Glass Tiles

Glass Tiles Glass tiles are increasing their popularity in both the bathroom as well as the kitchen. Thanks to the breakthrough in modern technology. The glass tile will impart intense colour and reflect light. Naturally, they are completely impervious to water. The richness, depth and colour of glass tiles often create stunning, original effects.

The colour is produced by imparting the print to the back of the tile.

The Villeroy and Bosch mosaic-style glass tile that we illustrate here. Will provide a stunning contrast to an area of a bathroom, particularly effective above a white wash hand basin. The contemporary matt/glossy black tile looks particularly effective if it is broken up by adding a subtly placed border tile.

We illustrate two different styles of glass border tiles which can. Of course, be used to great effect with other ceramic tiles and these can be very eye-catching. These tiles are a wonderful addition to any bathroom and perfect for creating feature walls.

May we suggest that when you are ordering any of these items, a ten percentage addition is included to allow for cutting and breakage? It is also important that you do order sufficient tiles to complete the whole area, as colours can vary between batches.
