How to tile a shower?

While tiling a shower, the first step is to remove the old one by using a hammer and a chisel. After the removal, check what is behind the tiles. If it is the drywalls, then replace them with cement backer boards to prevent mold and moisture. After placing the cement backer boards, your shower area will be ready for the tiling process.

Tiling

Start with measuring the application area; to do so, multiply the width by the height. Make sure to get some spare tiles in case things go wrong at some point. You can also save the extra ones for the future. Before starting to apply the tiles, you can get cardboard to practice the layout. It is recommended to start from the center and to see how much you need to cut the tiles that are going to be placed at the edges. Then cut the tiles with a tile nipper or a tile hole saw. For the exposed edges, you can use bullnose or trim pieces. Make sure to wear the proper clothes such as long shirts, long pants, gloves, and eye goggles or face shields.

When the tiles are ready, you can continue with the next step, which is applying the thin-set mortar to the application area. By using a trowel spread the mortar to the wall surface. It is also important to use the right trowel notch size. To make sure which one is right for you, check the manufacturer’s recommendation. Also, to leave even spaces between the tiles, use spacers and leave them for about 24-48 hours for the tiles to set completely and dry. After 24-48 hours, you can come back to remove the spacers and start with grouting and sealing.

A unified finishing touch is created by the white vanity and the chrome fittings.

Material Options for Shower Tile Ideas

The variety and material options for shower tiles are mind-blowing! Ranging from natural stones to ceramic and porcelain, glass, wood, stone and acrylic panels, each element is unique on its own and brings various qualities and visual impacts with it. Those looking for a natural flavor can benefit from limestone tiles in sand tones that provide comforting aesthetics, porcelains that mimic stone and wood patterns, marble offering a sophisticated finish and slate and cement providing non-slip finishes! Honestly, this list can go on and on and in this blog, we will mainly be looking at marble, glass, ceramics, and porcelain, or in other words, the most popular shower tile materials!

Marble Shower Tile Ideas

It is very common to use natural stones in the slab, tile, and mosaic forms to create a sophisticated feel and deliver a sense of luxury to the space. Marble is one of them that builds up visual drama and a statement finish while exuding elegance and opulence. Especially, book-match marble works as a space-enhancing factor and achieves a uniform look. But, if you wish to make a difference and expect diversity from the design, you can combine different forms of marble such as slabs on the walls and tiles or mosaics for the flooring and the niche.

Especially white-gray marble is very popular and used in abundance in bathroom designs whether with pronounced or less pronounced veins that add movement and a sense of flow to the walls while mimicking the liquid form of water. Also, another aesthetic aspect of natural stones such as marble is their beautiful natural patina within the stone that creates a unique organic vibe spread all over the place.

The antique brass shower hardware reinforces the sense of warming feelings while delivering luxury in the meantime.

How to clean shower tiles?

In the showers, unfortunately, cleaning the tiles themselves is one thing, and cleaning the grout is another, which causes a more demanding cleaning process for a perfectly clean look. Plus, soap scums, mold, and mildew are the most common issues in the bathrooms that require proper cleaning. To clean the grout, you can get products that contain hydrogen peroxide that can dissolve the dirt accumulated in the grout.

Bleach is another key cleaning product. It not only brightens up the tiles and grout but also serves as a disinfectant. Another pro tip is to run hot water for a few minutes to soften the scum and use a mixture of vinegar and water and let it sit for a few minutes and give it time to do its job. Then use a sponge to rub all the dirt and accumulated dead skin. Finish the cleaning by rinsing the tiles with warm water.

As additional information, if you want easy cleaning, the material types and patterns make a huge difference. For texture lovers, especially, the fluted and ribbed surfaces provide great tactility to the walls, which makes them harder to clean. As the gaps attract dust and cause mold, they require extra effort to reach those thin gaps. The glazed tiles, on the contrary, provide easy-to-clean surfaces and are visually pleasing too.

To evade breaking up the uniform look and keep the attention on the material, the gorgeous stone vanity comes to the front.

Glass Shower Tile Ideas

Thanks to their pore-free skin, glass tiles are easy to clean and maintain as they don’t require any sealing, which makes them favorable. However, the glass is also infamous for being expensive. But if you have the budget, glass can liven up the interior space with its luminous and reflective surfaces. Especially blue glass tiles endow the kitchen with a sense of freshness and liveliness. You can even create a pool-like environment while using glass mosaic tiles.

After getting out of the shower, users may quickly grab a towel thanks to the wall-mounted towel rack. The indoor plant also helps to create a spa-like ambiance in the space. It provides a breath of fresh air in addition to a sensation of vitality.

Ceramic or Porcelain Shower Tile Ideas

The most popular shower tiles are made of ceramic and porcelain because of their great degree of customization and low cost. They are ideal for shower tiles since they are tough and simple to clean. They are not suggested for shower floors, though, as they become slick when wet.

Porcelains are a stronger version of ceramics because they have additives such as quartz and sand which make them more durable and less water absorbent. Another distinguishing feature of porcelain is that it can mimic natural materials. So, if you don’t want to spend tons of money on natural stones, porcelain tiles offer a great alternative to achieve the same impact without becoming a financial burden. They can mirror wood, marble and stone patterns to achieve a level of authenticity. In technical terms unlike natural stones, they are easy to maintain as they don’t require any regular sealing.

More than just a convenient bathing area, the built-in seat and nook are ingeniously incorporated. The straightforward layout and use of a monochromatic color scheme in this shower are excellent for people who enjoy a clean and unadorned appearance.

What size tiles are best for a shower?

The best size for the tiles is dependent on the width of the shower zone. The smaller the shower area is, the smaller the tiles should be. While homeowners can act freer when choosing the tile sizes for the shower walls, it is different for the flooring for safety and other technical reasons.

First of all, the smaller the tiles are, the more grout lines provide more friction on the floor, which makes the ground less slippery. You can, for example, consider 1-inch by 1-inch mosaic tiles for shower flooring that also introduce intimacy and built-up connections between the tiles and tiles and feet. Aside from that, the size tiles can reach up to 4-inch by 4-inch.

As for the shower walls, large format tiles are very much welcome especially if you have a spacious shower room. The tile sizes can reach up to 15-inch by 30-inch range. Plus, as they are easy to clean and bring less grout with them, they have become more popular.

Additionally, in technical terms, it is recommended for tiles to have a resistance rating of R13 in wet areas such as shower floors or shower rooms in general. For safety reasons, ceramics and porcelain tiles are the best options at least for floor coating. They can get slippery when wet.
