Your Guide To Choosing The Right Bathroom Tile For Your Adelaide Home

Choosing The Right Bathroom Tile

When selecting the perfect bathroom tile for your Adelaide home, the look of your bathroom is usually dictated by the type of bathroom tile you choose. This area of your home is considered one of the most important as you and your guests frequent it.

 

While the tile selection process can seem like an overwhelming experience, with the extensive range of shapes, colours and textures on the market, it doesn't have to be that difficult with the proper knowledge and know-how. At Aurees Tiles, we have years of experience and expertise in the tile industry and can guide you through everything you need to know about choosing bathroom tiles!

 

To assist you through the selection process, we've created a go-to guide for your reference when selecting the perfect bathroom tile for your Adelaide home. Keep reading!

 

Step 1. Do Your Homework

Like anything in the home improvement sector, you must research before committing to a sale. So, when choosing suitable bathroom tiles, it is necessary to understand the suitability of the different materials. The market's three most common types of tiles are porcelain, ceramic and stone. Each has its benefits and setbacks depending on its purpose and location in the house.

 

At Aurees Tiles, please bring in your plans, measurements and design inspiration, and a member of our friendly team can help you find a tile that meets your functional and aesthetic requirements!

 

Step 2. Look at the Slip Wear Rating

Our bathrooms are always wet and mostly moist most of the time. Thus, slip resistance is especially crucial for bathroom tiles. A slip-rating test subjects tiles through testing that will assess the character of the surface to determine which is best suited for specific environmental conditions. These tests will measure the tiles' long-term wear throughout the lifespan of a floor, as well as consider the amount of foot traffic, cleaning maintenance and wear characteristics.

 

When it comes to bathroom tiles, it is recommended that you always opt for tiles with a minimum slip rating of PEI Class 2.

 

Step 3. Choosing the Right Tile Size

When choosing tiles for your room, the basic rule of thumb is to consider the size of your bathroom first. A large bathroom will look spacious and stunning with a large format tile for both the walls and floors. However, when it comes to smaller spaces, patterns can help create the illusion of a bigger space, giving the eye a longer path to follow.

 

At Aurees Tiles, we can assess your bathroom measurements and help you choose a tile that will fit in well with the size of your room while also complementing your design style.

 

Step 4. Take Home a Sample Before Buying

Taking a sample bathroom tile home is critical to ensuring that your tile will go with your paint choice and bathroom fittings and fixtures. It will also help you visualise your entire design and re-evaluate the style and size of your bathroom tile.

Grout and Tile Maintenance: How to Keep Tiles Adelaide Looking New
Go into any Adelaide home five or 10 years after the tiles were laid, and you will usually hear one of two stories. In the first, the floor and walls still look as new as the day they were put down. The second is that the tiles themselves are fine, but the grout tells another […]

Kitchen Tiles Adelaide: Splashback and Floor Combinations That Work Together
Splashback and floor tiles are usually chosen weeks apart, sometimes by different people, and often at entirely different stages of a kitchen renovation. The floor gets locked in early, before the layout is even finalised, while the splashback is picked much later, once the benchtop and cabinetry are already installed. The result, more often than […]

Porcelain Benchtops and Splashback Tiles: The Adelaide Kitchen Trend Gaining Ground
There’s a clear shift in what people choose for their kitchens these days. It's no longer just splashback tiles behind the stove; now, large porcelain slabs do double duty as both a benchtop and a splashback, wrapping around the kitchen as one continuous surface. It’s not really a passing trend borrowed from a renovation show. […]

Entry and Living Room Tiles Adelaide: Making the First Impression Last
Look for furniture that can withstand the coastal elements. Untreated steel and lower-grade stainless steel are more prone to corrosion, whereas teak, powder-coated aluminium and 316 stainless steel are all excellent. Consider how exposed your outdoor area is to the wind. Heavier or lower-profile furniture is usually a better choice for open locations, while lighter […]

Why Modern Bathrooms Start With the Right Tile Choice (Not Fixtures)
Ask most people where they start when renovating a bathroom, and the answer is usually the same. They talk about tapware. They obsess over the vanity, too. They spend hours comparing matte-black fittings to brushed-nickel fittings. It's understandable — fixtures are visible, tactile, and easy to shop for. But it's the wrong starting point. When […]

How to Design a Bathroom That Still Looks Good in 10 Years
There’s a particular kind of regret that shows up in bathrooms. It’s usually not about craftsmanship. It’s the colour. The pattern. The fixture that felt exciting the day it was installed, but within a few short years, felt strangely dated. Bathrooms are expensive to renovate and disruptive to redo. So, the real question isn’t “what’s […]

Matte vs Gloss Bathroom Tiles: What Actually Works in Real Homes
Walking into a tile showroom and choosing between matte and gloss is a simple style choice. One seems soft and modern. The other is fine and polished. Either way, you’ll be pleased with your choice. And then the tiles go into a real bathroom, and that's when it gets real. Most mornings, the floor is […]

Large Format Bathroom Tiles: The Secret to Luxury Hotel-Look Spaces
Walk into almost any luxury hotel bathroom, and there’s a feeling that hits before anything else does. The room feels calm. Open. Almost weightless. There is no tiny mosaic grid demanding your attention, and if you can see the grout lines at all, they sit quietly in the background rather than separating the space into […]
