The majority of bathroom renovations in Ottawa include the installation of ceramic bathroom tiles. Ceramic tiles are relatively affordable and extremely versatile building materials that can do wonders to improve the look of any room in the home. The cost-effectiveness and nearly limitless variations of tiles available make it possible for any homeowner to include ceramic tile in their bathroom renovations.

 

Ceramic tiles continue to grow in popularity as an affordable way to significantly alter the look of the bathroom. It is possible to find tiles with a specific color/pattern or to arrange the tiles in a manner to create a new pattern. Ceramic tiles come in almost any shape and size providing even more design freedom for choosing tiles for any space in the bathroom.

 

Introducing ceramic tile into the bathroom is an excellent way to improve enjoyment of the room without making drastic and expensive renovations. A small area of ceramic tile can breathe new life into the room for a fraction of the cost of larger projects. For example a ceramic tile backsplash can often be installed in less than a day for a relatively modest cost, but drastically alter the overall look of the bathroom.

 

 

The major appeal of ceramic tiles is the wide assortment of options available today. There is a ceramic tile to fit every budget, especially in the bathroom where the area to be tiled is often smaller than other rooms.

 

Ceramic tile is an excellent selling point for any potential homebuyers; the investment the homeowner makes in the tile installation will help to improve the resale value of the home in the future. This is especially true for high end porcelain tiles that can mimic the look of premium natural stones to create a look of style while also offering enhanced durability. Porcelain tiles are similar to ceramic tiles with a uniform composition that helps to increase hardness. Porcelain tiles are typically more expensive than ceramic tiles, but they make an excellent choice for applications where durability and strength matter (such as flooring).  Plus, since porcelain tiles carry their color throughout the thickness of the tile, if it should chip, you still see the color.

 

 

The bathroom is a unique room when it comes to installing ceramic tiles. Almost any area of the bathroom can benefit from having ceramic tiles installed. Glazed tiles offer excellent water resistance, which is extremely beneficial for areas such as the bathroom, kitchen, or basement. This helps to ensure that the tiles not only improve the look of the room, but also protect the wall behind the tile against water damage and mold. Glazed ceramic or porcelain tiles can even be used to tile the walls of the shower.

 

Installing bathroom tiles is often a relatively quick home renovation; most installations can be completed in just a day or two. In many cases the installation can be handled by a homeowner with a basic knowledge of tools. This makes the installation of ceramic bathroom tiles even more economical.
