What makes a beautiful floor tile?

Beautiful floor tiles don’t just happen. They are made through a combination of three main ingredients: design, finish and format. This is more than just pretty patterns. This is about cutting-edge design, innovative tile finishes and technological advances in tile sizes. So let’s take a look at each in turn and find out more about what goes into making beautiful floor tiles.

Tile design

Tile technology is continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible with tile design. Porcelain tiles in particular are designed to mimic other materials. The degree to which they do this well is really down to the technology used in making the tile. High quality tiles are now not only looking like the material they are emulating, they also feel like that material. This is because leading manufacturers are aligning pattern and texture to create tiles that are incredibly realistic, so that corten steel industrial look you love can now be used in your bathroom or lounge in the form of a porcelain tile. The real beauty here is that porcelain tiles that look like marble or wood have all the benefits of porcelain so where real marble is very soft and can stain or real wood can scratch, a porcelain tile is highly scratch and stain resistant. So you have all the beauty of your chosen material with all the advantages that porcelain brings.

In addition, gone are the days of just one or two patterns per tile. Now collections can house up to 30 or 40 different patterns per tile, particularly for wood effect collections, so there is no huge concern about pattern repeats even over large areas. This combination of tile design and variation of pattern means porcelain tiles look incredible realistic echoing all the beauty of everything from stone to quartz, slate to marble, terrazzo to wood, concrete to micro cement and more.

There are also some incredibly beautiful patterned tiles that can really add some pizzazz to floors if you want to stamp a little personality onto spaces!

Tile finish

Tile finishes have come on leaps and bounds over the past few years and tiles now feature a whole host of different surface textures rather than just a standard matt or polished finished. There is everything from natural, soft, antislip soft, contour, polished, gloss and more. The right tile finish can transform a tile and a space. Now leading tile collections are super sophisticated so that a micro cement effect tile not only looks like micro-cement but the surface is also finely attuned to the tile design.

Matt, soft or natural finishes can have a lovely soft sheen. These softer surfaces gently diffuse light for a calming feel whereas a polished tile will reflect light in a bolder way. From an interiors perspective it is important to combine rough and smooth surfaces in any space and tiles can play a part in this.

Tile finish is as much about creating beautiful floor tiles as it is about safety. With tiles available in a range of finishes you can pick the right tile for your space whether that is the kitchen, bathroom, wetroom, lounge or garden. It is important to always check the finish and slip rating of your tiles are suitable for the area you want to use them in.

Tile size

Beautiful floor tiles are available in a range of sizes and larger formats are making their way into our homes like never before. These giant tiles, once the preserve of the interior design world are fast becoming the go-to for our homes. 800 x 800, 900 x 900, 1m x 1m and 1200 x 1200mm formats are being used across floors especially larger open plan spaces. But these larger formats are also making their way into bathrooms and beyond. The beauty of a large format tiles is the “more tile, less grout” approach. Many porcelain tiles have rectified edges, that is straight edges, and this means that grout lines are at a minimum of 3mm for floors. The larger the tile, the less grout lines and less grout lines means spaces feel calmer and more serene – less busy.

Beautiful floor tiles really are a combination of tile size, finish and exquisite design. This is what sets these tiles apart and in turn they can transform your floor and space.
