Denver Porcelain Shower Tile Advantages
Changing the look of your traditional fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) tub can create an entirely different feeling within your bathroom. When involved in a renovation project, most homeowners elect to change their kitchen or living room first, but the bathroom should also be given its due consideration. Everyone spends at least some time in that room daily and while the others may receive their fair amount of use, choosing to upgrade the shower and tub combination can pay dividends in the long run - especially in terms of personal use.
While the historic FRP combination has been around for years there are some drawbacks to both the design and style. Whatever the original color immediately determines the scheme for the entire room. Such a large object being off-color to the remaining pieces of decor doesn’t create a well designed space. For these reasons and many others, choosing a porcelain tile to use in the shower area creates a number of advantages - used alone in a shower only situation, or combined with the tradition tub material (bathtub only design).
DESIGN
The color schemes are seemingly endless when electing to utilize a tile instead of the solid color prefabricated tubs. By choosing the tile option, homeowners have an endless array of designs to choose from including placement styles - horizontal, vertical, or square.
LOOK
In combination with an existing tub only, tile can be used to wall the area above and create a different color combination. The old style FRP tubs are so big and extend up the walls with their one-color but electing to use a tile allows for multiple different looks and options.
Bathroom shower tile ideas are seemingly endless and will immediately allow you to feel at home in your own bathroom.
CLEAN
Cleaning your tiled shower is easy and may be less stressful than your FRP tub. Tile offers a nice surface for water reflection and although there is the potential for any grout to become discolored, a wide array of
shower tile cleaners are available that easily make maintaining your tiled shower a simple task.
UPKEEP
Maintenance is also much easier with a tiled shower as opposed to the old FRP option. Any damage associated with the old style requires an unsightly patch or complete replacement, whereas tile can be replaced in sections, if needed.
While most tile is extremely durable, should you notice any cracks or scratches, only the tiles in question need to be fixed. Obviously a simpler fix than removing the entire bathtub.
