Mosaic Decoration For Your Bathroom
If you plan to tile your bathroom with limestone because of its gorgeous appearance, durability and relatively low cost, then you should think about a few things, to begin with, its nature like a calcareous sedimentary rock, responsible for its extreme porosity. But as in other cases of porous natural stones, the right sealer and fitter would take care of that. Especially in the bathroom, installation is important because, despite daily sanitization, you won’t be capable of getting eliminate all of the bacteria, if sealing wasn’t performed adequately. But when it was, though required regularly, cleaning and maintenance will prove to be easy.
When the hygienic aspect settled, you can concentrate on the aesthetic one. If you prefer a delicate color for the bathroom, meant to allow it to be look serene, you can go for applestone limestone, for its creamy hues and hardly visible shading, which could have either a polished finish or a honed one. For any luxurious touch, you should choose highly polished tiles, whose shading could be thus emphasized, getting a reflective quality. If, on the other hand, you are looking at a far more natural look and a natural feel of the stone when touched barefoot, then honed tiles are definitely better, particularly for floors likely to get wet, that ought to ensure a great grip.
If, further, you would like a mosaic, size is very important. For sizable bathrooms or if you intend your mosaic to become a feature, you’ll need larger tiles for either floors or walls than, for instance, when you want to have just mosaic strips to border the walls. Though mosaics generally would go better in smaller bathrooms, due to the pale and uniform color of applestone limestone tiles, they would look as well in larger bathrooms, obviously, if ensuring their professional look by using appropriate grout and adhesives.
You could have fun with a mixture of cream and gray-shaded tiles or with nuances of the identical color. Considering the fact that you won’t want to complicate too much the inner simplicity of this version of limestone, maybe it would be better to have a mosaic just for the ground or just for the walls, to be able to preserve that minimalist appearance which makes this stone so valued. Simultaneously, although honed tiles tend to be more resistant against scratches, hence simpler to maintain, you could still have polished ones, if you want, about the walls. However, having a honed floor, you’ll be secured against accidental falling once the floor gets wet.
