If you are still in the construction process of your home, make sure that you choose the right materials to avoid making drastic changes later on. Out of the many construction materials to choose from, you might have difficulty choosing tiles because of the many variations and types. 

 

Some variations include ceramic and porcelain tiles, and both can provide specific benefits that the other one may not have. Usually, your contractors can choose the tiles for you since they are the ones handling the construction. However, you should have enough knowledge in choosing one on your own to ensure that it suits your standards. 

 

Tip #1: Always Consider the Durability

The first tip in choosing tiles for your home is knowing if it is durable enough to withstand foot traffic for a long time. Your tiles must be durable enough because it can be difficult to do repairs once they break after a while. If you do not choose a durable tile to install in your home, expect to contact a tile contractor and spend money for the repairs at a moment’s notice. 

 

You can find tiles that are durable enough to withstand pressure and prevent it from cracking easily, like porcelain and ceramic tiles. You can also tell whether the tile has excellent durability by checking its PEI scale, ranging from Class 1 to 5. Class 1 has the least durability, while Class 2 and higher offers the best durability against most types of heavy force like foot traffic. 

 

Tip #2: Choosing the Correct Tile Size

In rare instances, homeowners fail to choose the right tiles because they forgot to make precise measurements of the area they plan to install them. If you want the measurements to go smoothly, you should always leave it to professionals like tile contractors that can do the job perfectly. Whenever you know the accurate measurements of the area, it should not be a problem choosing the right size for any type of ceramic or porcelain tiles. 

 

Tip #3: Learning the Right Tile Colours

Another important tip when choosing tiles for your home is determining the right colours that will fit the entire surroundings. Sometimes, you might have a colour idea in mind that you want your tiles to look like, but it might not look aesthetically appealing when installed. It would be best to imagine or create a mock design that incorporates the colours that you want to learn whether all of the colours will go well together or not. 

 

Usually, contractors would take designs from their previous projects which have the same colour patterns as yours. If you want to be directly involved in choosing the tile colours, you may need to learn the colour palette to help you learn the full range of colours and learn which ones will look great together. 

 

Tip #4: Selecting the Right Texture Tile

There are different texture types for tiles to help them go well with other elements on where it is installed. In most cases, tile textures like a matte finish can provide a non-slip surface perfect for slippery areas like bathrooms. And if you want shiny and smooth tiles, it would be best to install them on bathroom walls or ceilings. 

 

As long as you remember the four helpful choosing tips, you should have no worries about getting the right tiles for your home.
