Bathroom Direct Discuss The Pros & Cons of Tile Patterns & Shapes For Your Bathroom

Tiles in different patterns and shapes have a nicer appeal compared to the traditional prefabricated shower design, coming in various colors and styles, providing the homeowner with a wide range of design options. Tiled showers appear more upscale and inviting, and they also allow the homeowner to contrast or color block their shower design to their desire. Tiled showers offer a customised approach to designing and are a great way to add an extra flare of style to any bathroom. However, the smaller the tile the more work involved in the installation and grouting of the tiles, and when the grout needs to be replaced it is a larger and more fiddly job.

Tiled showers can also prove to be a long-lasting investment. If you come across a chip or crack in a tile, it is easy to simply replace the individual tile instead of replacing the whole shower. Tiled showers are relatively easy to keep clean as well, and walk-in showers are low maintenance and considered ideal for the typical on-the-go homeowner.

As long as you own a vacuum or broom and a mop, you can keep ceramic tiles clean with little effort, as the nonporous surface doesn’t stain easily or trap dirt and dust. Ceramic tiles, like any other flooring material, present distinct pros and cons, so weigh your options carefully based on your specific preferences and how you intend to use the tiles in your home.

Despite the easy up-keep of tiled showers, over time mildew may start to grow on the grout that holds each tile together. Typical cleaning products are more than acceptable to use on tiled showers, but once mildew starts to develop, the cleaning becomes a little more difficult. Since mildew is hard to remove, a professional cleaning service may be needed to clean the mildew from the grout, ultimately costing more money.
