Slate
Bathroom Tile
Slate is a natural stone that warms up a bathroom and
creates elegance at the same time, which is just one reason
slate bathroom tile is so popular. It comes in a variety of
colors and textures, making it perfect for just about any style
bathroom design, and it's durable and easy to clean, too.
How to Choose Slate Bathroom
Tile
Of course, color is one of the main decisions when you pick
out your slate bathroom tile. Luckily, you can find slate in
just about any color, from light to dark, and with variations
of colors in between. However, color isn't the only thing to
think about when you choose slate bathroom tile. Slate comes in
a wide variety of surface textures, too, so it pays to look at
many different samples of tile before you choose the one that's
right for your bath. Remember, slate can be slick, so try to
choose a tile that is textured and slip proof for floors and
walking areas, while choosing a smooth, polished slate for use
in tile work on countertops, shower stalls, and other bath
areas.
Slate Tile is
Durable
One of the reasons slate makes great bathroom tiles is it's
durability. It can stand up to all kinds of wear, and it can
even stand up to weather, which is why so many people use it in
their gardens and landscaping, too. It also is easy to clean,
and doesn't stain easily at all, which makes it perfect for
high-traffic areas like bathrooms.
Installing Slate Bathroom
Tiles
If you're familiar with tile and grout, you can install your
own slate bathroom tile. Most manufacturers offer instructions
on how to do the job right. If you're not a do-it-yourselfer,
most any tile installer can install these tiles. They resemble
classic ceramic or other stone tiles in how they're applied,
and the hardest part of the installation process may be
choosing the right grout color to coordinate with your tiles
when you hire someone to install them!
So, invest in slate bathroom tiles when it's time to remodel
your bathroom. They'll add to your home's overall value, while
giving you the updated bathroom you've always dreamed
about!
