Aged Stone or Brick Tile

Stone and brick tile patterns that mimic weathered limestone, travertine or aged brick make great farmhouse fireplace tile. Opt for beige, gray or whitewashed colors in a classic herringbone pattern or random stack layout. The worn, antique look pairs beautifully with distressed woods.

Wood Plank Wall Tiles

Horizontally installed faux wood plank tiles instantly provide rustic character reminiscent of reclaimed barn boards. Varying “wood grain” textures and charcoal, black or faded gray finishes enhance the authenticity. Mix lengths for a collected look.

Crisp White Subway Tile

For farmhouse spaces wanting a clean backdrop, classic white 3x6 subway tiles are a versatile neutral starting point. Offset the bricks or lay diagonally to add interest. Outline with dark grout lines and add a mosaic medallion.

Tiny mosaic tiles woven together into an organic pattern make upscale accents. The nuanced texture beautifully catches firelight. Terracotta, light beige and antique white penny rounds work for farmhouse motifs. Use for the whole surround or as a statement focal area.

FAQ:

1. How do I reset my warm tile thermostat?

   To reset, press and hold the external reset button for 10-15 seconds until the screen goes blank. When powered back on, use arrows to set desired temperature and turn mode to ON to engage heating. Allow 10 minutes for thermostat to fully reboot. If still not working, power cycle the breaker. For full reset, remove faceplate and press internal pinhole for 10 seconds. Resetting often clears glitches in warm tile thermostats.

2. What are the settings for warm tiles?

   Set temperatures 10-15°F above room temp - bathrooms 85-90°F, kitchens 75-85°F, living spaces 70-80°F, basements 65-75°F. Use ON mode to initially heat tiles, then AUTO to maintain set temp. Additional settings can include timers for heating schedules, high/low temp limits, floor sensor control instead of air, and energy saving modes when away. Refer to manufacturer instructions for optimal warm tile programming based on the space.

3. What is a warm tiles thermostat?

   A warm tiles thermostat controls electric floor heating systems under tile. It regulates temperature by turning heating elements on/off. Key features include temperature control with built-in floor sensor, modes like on/off/auto-cycling, LCD display showing settings and temps, and programming options. The thermostat receives power from the heating system and signals the wires when to heat the floor to a set temperature for comfort and warmth.
