The applications of different sizes of floor tiles are not the same, so how to choose the best size of floor tiles?

Best Floor Tile Size for Different Applications - How to Choose Proper Tile Sizes

1. Living room floor tile 

The living room is generally the largest space in the family, so the living room is generally a larger size; Usually, 600mm or 800*800mm floor tiles are used in the living room. Depending on the specific area, if the living room is particularly large, 1000*1000 or more living room floor tiles can also be considered.

2. Porch floor tile

When choosing the tile size of the porch, we should first look at the pattern of the porch. If the door is the door type of the guest restaurant, then there is no need to paste different sizes of the porch separately. You can use the sideline to walk around to make the space appear independent; For the independent porch, the larger one can be made into an independent mosaic shape, while the smaller one is to choose 300*300mm or 300*600mm floor tiles.

3. Bedroom floor tile

Generally speaking, the bedrooms of most families are decorated with wooden floors. However, considering that the wooden floors are not easy to take care of, families who want to save trouble will also choose to stick floor tiles. If the bedrooms are decorated with floor tiles, the tile specifications are usually 400*400mm and 600*600mm.

4. Kitchen floor tile

Generally, the kitchen is used as a cooking space, and the activity frequency is high when cooking inside. Therefore, it is recommended to choose floor tiles with good anti-skid performance. In terms of size and specification, the kitchen floor tiles are generally 300*300mm; If it is an open kitchen, it can be considered as 600*600mm.

5. Bathroom floor tile

Like the kitchen floor tiles, the floor tiles in the bathroom should also have good anti-skid performance. In terms of size, they are mainly 300*300mm and 300*450mm. If the bathroom area is large, you can choose slightly larger ones. It is difficult to clean the floor of the bathroom with too many gaps

6. Balcony floor tile

It's suggested that the thickness and weight of the floor tiles on the balcony should be as light as possible; The color of balcony floor tiles is a mainly light color. Before tiling, the balcony floor is also recommended to be waterproof, and the size of balcony floor tiles is generally 300*300mm.

The common size of floor tiles is 400-800mm square, and sometimes 1000*1000mm large format floor tiles are used. The size of the floor tile should be selected according to the size of the space. Large size cannot be used in small spaces, otherwise, it will give people a feeling that the proportion is inappropriate. Large size tiles can be selected for large areas such as the living room, and 300-400mm floor tiles should be used for kitchen, bathroom, and other spaces. Generally, the size of wall tiles is the same as that of floor tiles. The specification of indoor wall tiles is mostly 152*152mm, while 152*200mm tiles are more popular in recent years. 

How to Choose Tile Sizes for Different Areas

1. Living room tile size. Choose according to the size of the room: if the area of the room is small, try to use small-sized ceramic tiles. Specifically, if the living room area is below 30 square meters, you can consider using 600*600 ceramic tiles; 600*600mm or 800*800mm can be used at 30-40 flat; If it is above 40 square meters, 800*800mm can be considered. Consider the space occupied by furniture: if there are many places covered by furniture in the living room, that is, the visible area of the ground is relatively small, then small-scale ceramic tiles can be considered. Consider the length and width of the living room: as far as the effect is concerned, it is best to pave the whole piece of ceramic tiles, that is to say, try not to cut bricks or less bricks at the edge, and try to reduce waste. Generally speaking, the larger the specification of ceramic tiles, the greater the waste.

2. Kitchen tile size. In general, the kitchen is relatively small, with windows, doors and cabinets, and the net area is smaller. In order to avoid waste and maintain space coordination, we should choose ceramic tiles with small specifications. In this way, there will be little waste in paving and pasting, avoiding many inconveniences caused by large-size ceramic tile cutting and other construction.

3. Toilet tile size. If you choose tiles in the bathroom, you should determine the size according to the size of the bathroom. If the bathroom is large, choose 600*600mm. If it is small, choose 300*300mm. Generally, the latter is selected. Floor tiles are generally 300*300mm. The general specifications of wall tiles are 400*800mm and 300*600mm, which must be determined according to the area of the toilet and personal preferences.
