Bathroom Floor Tiles

Everyone dreams of relaxing in the type of bathroom they have always wanted. Whatever look you want whether that is a earthy toned, candle lit bathroom with a freestanding bath or a corner bath in a light, spacious white bathroom, buying the correct sort of tiles is essential.

Once you have chosen to lay new floor tiles on your bathroom or kitchen floor there are some things you need to think about. First things first you need to choose the sort of tiles you want to use in the sense of colours, patterns and materials. As far as materials go, there are a great range of tiles available from marble, ceramic, slate, glass and porcelain all of which can be used to achieve different looks and effects.

Once you have chosen the type of tiles you want, you then need to make sure that you get colours that compliment the look of the existing bathroom wall tiles. It can be hard to get the right mix but if you have any problems there is plenty of advice online from interior design television shows. A good thing to do is keep it simple and if you get stuck then ask for assistance.

Before you can lay your new bathroom floor tiles you need to prepare the surface. Most bathrooms will already have floor tiles on the floor so it is important to make sure you remove these properly before hand. This can be done with a long handled floor scraper and its strong metallic blade should be levered under each tile and pushed along to break the adhesive bond, helping you to prise up the floor tiles.

You can use the scraper to release as many of the floor tiles as possible. When you have some areas where you can’t remove the adhesive then you could try using a stripping knife. Heavier floor tiles may need to be broken up, the best way to do this is by using a hammer and chisel.
