Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tile is a great tile for the bathroom area, mainly because of the fact that it is very durable. When maintained correctly, it could easily last decades in a bathroom if no major damage is incurred. There are so many different styles and types of porcelain tile flooring in Vancouver WA and, with this area of the country being such a diverse place, our experienced bathroom remodeling contractors at Vancouver Bathroom Remodel get requests for so many different designs using porcelain annually.
Being that porcelain is a lot more dense and harder to work with during installs than the type of tile that is compared to most (ceramic tile) it is recommended that you allow Professional Bathroom Contractors to do the installation of it. Porcelain tile does not collect water as easily as ceramic would, so you can feel very comfortable incorporating it into the designs of your bathroom floor, shower floor and shower walls. That being said, although porcelain is a little more expensive than ceramic tile, the chances of you having to replace them anytime soon is greatly lessened if you choose it for your bathroom.
Ceramic Tile
We have been doing ceramic tile installation in Vancouver WA, consistently for over 10 years, and always like to inform homeowners about how they should use this type of tile when they are looking for a bathroom renovation to be done soon. Granted that ceramic tile is somewhat less expensive than porcelain, it is not as dense and the potential for it to soak up water is higher. This is not to say that you cannot use beautiful variations of ceramic tile in your bathroom remodel at all, because they always look great on the walls of your bathroom and/or along the back wall of your vanity area and backsplashes.
In some cases budgeting may be an issue, and depending on how many people will be using the same shower on a regular basis ceramic tile can be used on shower walls, because they won’t incur as much damage as they would on a shower floor. As far as constant ongoing wetness goes, if you have a question about whether or not you should be using ceramic tile or porcelain tile in your bathroom renovations in Vancouver, our experienced bathroom contractors at Vancouver Bathroom Remodel will be more than happy to explain which type of tile would be best for your household bathroom, based on your lifestyle, as well as how much traffic the bathroom itself will normally have.
Subway Tile
One thing that we can tell you as experienced ceramic tile contractors in Vancouver WA is that people love subway tile because of the way it reflects lighting. Decades ago, it used to be only used in homes in its classic form – those rectangular shapes that the original subways in Manhattan used back in the early 1900s when this type of tile became popular for its easy maintenance.
Nowadays, subway tile comes in all different kinds of colors, shapes, sizes and patterns. And, people don’t just use it in the showers anymore, but also put it behind their vanities, along backsplashes, on bathroom floors, and any other place they think it looks attractive!
The traditional style of subway tile is made up of ceramic, but there are lots of different kinds that you can get whether they be natural stone, porcelain or any other type. Subway tile is many times 3×6 inches but, if you want to switch it up from the norm, you can use the 4×8’s.
The mosaic tiles, which are used a lot in showers, are 1×2 inch subway tiles, and the fact that this type of tile is so easy to clean makes it very popular in the shower area. You can rest assured that if you choose this type of tile for your bathroom renovation, there’s certainly a perfect variation of it for you out there with a beautiful finish that’ll go with any type of bathroom layout that you can imagine.
