Having a bathroom with beautifully designed intricate walls and a floor that offers safety while complementing the interior is a disguised blessing in a home. Bathrooms have long been a place of rejuvenation, especially in urban housing.
Commercial centres and hospitality have helped break the taboo associated with bathrooms and transformed the space from a hidden vault of the house to a place of serenity. However, this place of serenity can become challenging to maintain without a proper floor and wall finish.
Bathroom floor tiles can resolve most cleanliness and hygiene problems in your bathroom. However, if your bathroom is small or has an open shower area its walls will be prone to water and soap splashes. Such bathrooms also need proper wall tiling.
Even if your bathroom is not small and has a dedicated shower cubical, wall tiles can raise the bar with a superb interior finish anyway.

Precautions While Installing Bathroom Floor Tiles
Anti-skid properties are well appreciated and understood by designers and homeowners both for a bathroom floor. However, there are a few more aspects of bathroom flooring only professionals understand:
Adequate Inclination for Proper Drainage: Water logging due to inadequate slope and uneven tile installation is a major issue in bathroom flooring. It increases the risk of the surface growing slippery due to slush and grease. Smaller tiles are easier to slope and thus, preferred for bathroom flooring.
Grout Selection: Grouting to seal the space between the tiles is critical. Use fine-sanded or waterproof grout like epoxy to seal the floor tiles in your bathroom.
Also, inspect the grouting after regular cleaning of the bathroom floor for any broken surfaces, and seal it before the next use.
You can also use rectified floor tiles for better floor sealing. Rectified tiles are cut more precisely and have sharper edges, allowing them to be installed more closely. Thus, rectified tiles minimise grout usage and the risk of grout damage.
With these precautions and a large selection of designer vitrified and ceramic tiles at H&R Johnson, you can create an energising bathroom for your home. Do not forget to explore the designs and check with the nearest dealership about their availability before visiting.
