Tips for tiling your dream bathroom

Mod­ern tiles come with a wide range of choices. This makes it easy to turn your bath­room into a private well­ness oas­is. Our expert gives a brief over­view of the count­less design options, explains the func­tion­al bene­fits and provides valu­able install­a­tion tips to ensure a healthy home.

Tip 1: : Skillfully stage your bathroom by choosing the right look

Tiles are a cru­cial ele­ment when it comes to cre­at­ing a beau­ti­ful atmo­sphere in the bath­room. Wheth­er large slabs or small mosa­ic tiles: they are not only avail­able in clas­sic white, beige, grey or black, but also in styl­ish col­ors to reflect cur­rent trends. Mar­ine col­ors such as aqua­mar­ine, cool green and deep azure blue are very much in vogue, as they give clas­sic stone­ware and cement tiles an extra fresh look. Mod­ern tiles can also be made to imit­ate the look of wood, con­crete or nat­ur­al stone. If you like it warm and cheer­ful, choose yel­low and orange tones. By con­trast, grey tiles cre­ate a cool and trendy urb­an look. Also pop­u­lar: a black-and-white check­er­board pat­tern. Addi­tion­ally, tiles offer a great vari­ety of sur­faces – wheth­er pol­ished, matte, glossy or rough. Even wave-like and curved struc­tures as well as reliefs, hon­ey­combs or flowers are avail­able now. Large-format tiles are cur­rently very trendy because they make the bath­room look more spa­cious. This effect pays off espe­cially in small rooms.

Tip 2: Functionality – a strong argument for tiles

Tiles not only look good, but also offer numer­ous func­tion­al advant­ages. When expertly installed, wall and floor tiles can with­stand the high wear and tear of bath­rooms for many dec­ades and are there­fore a sus­tain­able choice. They are made of nat­ur­al raw mater­i­als and are easy to keep clean when equipped with a smooth sur­face. Tiles are extremely hard-wear­ing: objects that have fallen down will leave no marks or dents. Floor tiles with a rough sur­face are usu­ally installed in wet rooms to provide the neces­sary slip res­ist­ance. For many people, a warm bath­room floor is of key import­ance. This is where tiles show anoth­er strength: They con­duct heat very well, which makes them the per­fect part­ner for under­floor heat­ing.

Tip 3: EMICODE® products help you enjoy an undisturbed home spa feeling

More and more house­build­ers and ren­ov­at­ors are attach­ing great import­ance to healthy liv­ing. When tiling your bath­room, you should there­fore opt for primers, mor­tars, adhes­ives and grouts that have been cer­ti­fied with the EMICODE® label. When con­sult­ing with the tiler, this point should be giv­en spe­cial atten­tion. The EMICODE® is a vendor-neut­ral qual­ity seal that is only awar­ded to build­ing products that fea­ture the low­est pos­sible emis­sions. Through unan­nounced spot checks, inde­pend­ent labor­at­or­ies con­tinu­ously mon­it­or wheth­er the man­u­fac­tur­ers com­ply with the required lim­it val­ues. This makes the EMICODE® label a good indic­at­or of which build­ing mater­i­als con­sumers can put their trust in. The eco-label thus ensures healthy liv­ing con­di­tions for your private well­ness oas­is.
