Porcelain stoneware bathroom tiling: ideas

Can porcelain stoneware be used in the bathroom?

Porcelain stoneware is ideal for both flooring and bathroom coverings, as it is a compact, durable and nonporous material.

The stoneware tiles and slabs are:

• extremely resistant to impact, scratches, chemicals and weather
• water-repellent: due to their low water absorption coefficient, they are the best choice for all those environments where humidity is high
• easy to clean and maintain
• hygienic and environmentally friendly.
  In addition to these features, one of the greatest advantages of porcelain stoneware is its very wide range in terms of sizes, thicknesses, colors and aesthetics (stone effect, marble effect, wood effect, fabric effect) capable of meeting all design requirements.

Bathroom tiles: making your choice

• Size, aesthetics, budget
  When designing your ideal bathroom, you should first think about the size of the room, the budget and the aesthetic and functional result you want to achieve.
• Slabs and tiles
  Tile size is one of the fundamental elements: the choice should be made between small, medium or large format tiles depending on personal taste. Large tiles, for example, offer tangible advantages: they amplify the perception of space and minimise joints and grout lines thereby making cleaning easier.
• Choosing the height
  The height of the bathroom wall tiling is a key choice because, depending on personal taste, it opens up different possibilities to enhance the space at your disposal. For example, you can create material and chromatic continuity between horizontal and vertical surfaces or play with contrasting tones with floor, furniture and accessories.Good looks aside, it is also important to consider the functional factor linked to the environment you are working in: although there is no fixed height for laying tiles on the wall, in the case of full-height wall coverings it is important to ensure that the floor is perfectly leveled. It is also essential to reach a reasonable height with porcelain stoneware wall covering so that jets of water do not wet the bathroom wall, leading to the formation of damp stains, mould, bad odours and flaking which can compromise the space and looks.

Wall and floor tiles for small bathrooms

Light and bright tones are usually recommended for smaller bathrooms, while more intense and darker colours can be a good choice in case of larger rooms.

As for size, larger formats are a big favourite because, even in case of small rooms, they amplify the perception of a wider space and are easier to clean.

The best material for bathroom floors

Porcelain stoneware is the best material for bathroom flooring because of its practicality and superior technical performance compared with any other product. Indeed, in addition to being very durable, stoneware does not absorb liquids and can also be used in humid environments. It is also perfect for coverings, especially in its large sizes, due to its practicality for cleaning and its strong aesthetic impact.

The best color for bathroom tiles

When choosing a tile color for the bathroom, it is first and foremost a good idea to consider the size of the room and the style you wish to recreate. Light and bright tones amplify the perception of the environment, which is especially useful in cases of low natural lighting, while darker and more intense tones are usually recommended for more spacious bathrooms. The style you wish to give the bathroom will also influence your choice: use neutral tones if you want to recreate a modern environment, pastel and dusty colors paired with a wood effect if you love the Shabby Chic style, and bold, deep colors, such as timeless black, for a more classic and elegant look.

Hence, there are no right or wrong colors. But it is important to make some initial considerations to achieve an aesthetically harmonious result.

Florim’s wide range of colors makes it possible to provide versatile solutions and ideas for every design proposal.

A total look for your dream bathroom

With the practicality and sophistication of the large-format Magnum Oversizeslabs, even a Total Look bathroom with a rich and exclusive appearance can become a more attainable fantasy.

Thanks to the latest technology and Florim’s signature research studies, the large slabs allow you to extend the customization of your bathroom from horizontal and vertical coverings to include the upper part of the fixtures, the so-called vanity top.

What is the vanity top?

The “vanity top” is the sink top and, more generally, the supporting part of all furniture elements. Today, more and more of these surfaces are being covered with large porcelain stoneware, allowing for maximum customization in terms of graphics, colors and finishes. The high technical performance of stoneware makes it unalterable over time and therefore ideal for this application. In addition, this material has numerous other advantages: it is hygienic and health-friendly, resistant to chemical attack, easy to clean, waterproof and sustainable.

Porcelain stoneware in the shower

Porcelain stoneware, especially in large sizes, is the ideal solution for your shower, since it means you can minimize grouting and facilitate cleaning. Stoneware covering protects the wall from steam and splashes of water, while the shower tray has many advantages:

• It is very stable and does not flex
• It is non-slip, resists thermal shock (change from hot to cold water) and high temperature
• It resists fungus, mold and does not yellow over time
• It has the same aesthetic effect as natural materials, such as stone, wood, marble and numerous others.

By studying the combination of vertical and horizontal surfaces, you can create visual continuity within the room for a total look effect with a strong aesthetic impact.

Porcelain stoneware is perfect not only for traditional shower enclosures, but also for walk-in showers, which facilitate even easier routine maintenance.

Finally, large-format slabs guarantee light weight, easy cutting, a high level of convenience and handling, and maximum ease of maintenance.
