Bathroom Wall Tiles

Wall tiles are renowned for their versatility. Whether you use them in the kitchen or bathroom, they offer the same long-lasting protection against splashes and the same decorative element.

Bathroom tiles are one of the great Victorian inventions which revolutionised how bathrooms were designed and renovated. With masses of practical advantages, they have transformed our perception of bath time puddles and protected our homes from creeping rot.

One of the useful benefits of tiling a bathroom wall is that it instantly makes it waterproof and moisture resistant. Whereas wallpaper becomes mouldy and soggy with condensation from the bath or shower, excess damp in the air does not cause damage to the wall or tiles, but merely forms water droplets on the surface. The grouting between the tiles is also waterproof, extending the protection to the entire wall.

The waterproofness also means that the tiles are easy to clean – you can simply wipe them with a damp cloth or even use a scrubbing brush! – and they are stain proof and odour resistant, so bad smells do not cling to them, and nor do they get marked through everyday wear and tear.

Tiles can be manufactured from a variety of materials, with the most common being ceramic, slate or stone. These materials are all durable and can be finished with matt finish, satin finish or gloss. Bathroom wall tiles are also a very cost-effective measure of covering up your wall. Due to their long-lasting nature, they need to be replaced far less frequently than wallpaper, paint or wooden panelling, and if a tile does become cracked or need replacing, a new one can be fitted without resorting to renovating the entire room.

However, when updating or renovating your bathroom, you don’t just want to take the functionality into account. The style, atmosphere and look of any new addition is just as important as how well it performs – especially for the visitors! There are many different bathroom tile colours available, which means you can decorate your bathroom in almost any design you want. Whether you wish to choose neutral or plain colours for a background canvas, or pick out bold and bright colours or patterns in order to create your own unique style, Crown Tiles will have the perfect sets of tiles for you-  go to our Bathroom Wall Tiles pages and browse around!
