Shower & Bath

The bathroom is a traditional space for the use of tile because of its practicality in the wet and humid environment. Today’s materials can transform your bathroom into a spa oasis, kids’ paradise or whatever you want it to become. Options for around bathtubs and shower stalls include glass, travertine, marble, slate as well as ceramic and porcelain tiles. Combine these with the infinite selection of borders and patterns for added interest and visual impact.

When choosing tile for a shower enclosure, consider the size. Larger tiles are ideal for most stalls creating an illusion of space, and require less grout to keep clean. A mix of larger tiles with a smaller matching or complimenting tile as a decorative element is popular.

Natural stone is a popular choice these days for bathrooms, lending an air of luxury and sophistication. Stone should always be sealed using an appropriate sealer and harsh cleaning products and methods should not be used as this may cause damage or staining. PTS carries a range of sealers and cleaning products specifically for natural stone and our Client representatives will be happy to discuss your needs and make recommendations.

Maintenance is always a concern in a bathroom where moisture levels are high potentially leading to mildew. Grout can mildew but today’s products often are formulated from non cementitious material and contain mildew inhibitors to eliminate this problem.  PTS carries a variety of tile and grout cleaners to deal with these issues should they arise.
