Penny Round Tiles FAQ's
Introducing penny round tiles into your home could give so many spaces an eclectic and contemporary makeover. If you have any queries about the installation, safety or cleaning of penny round tiles, Amber has the answer.
Are penny round tiles hard to install?
Installing penny round tiles in a bathroom or kitchen can be extremely time-consuming and challenging. Unlike other types of tiles, their very small size means that a large number of tiles need to be laid down in order to completely cover a space.
Ensuring that they are properly sealed and finished is essential for safety and durability, and aligning the tiles perfectly takes a trained eye. If you are looking to DIY a penny round tile installation, getting advice from experts and professionals beforehand is key so that you understand each step of the installation process.
Are penny round tiles trendy?
While penny round tiles might seem like an old-fashioned option, they have been making a comeback in recent years. Though these tiles have been used in homes since the early 1900s, they have never quite caught up with the popularity of hexagonal mosaics, or the classic square. However, penny round tiles are now considered a unique contemporary choice to stand out from the crowd. They are charming and unusual and can create a fresh look for a kitchen or bathroom, without being a “fad”.Are penny round tiles slippery?
The slipperiness of penny round tiles depends on the material you choose. One of the most well-used materials is porcelain, and you can also find ceramic, glass, and marble penny round tiles. They can be used on both floors and walls, glazed or unglazed. However, when your tiles are more heavily glazed, they can become more slippery and hazardous to walk on, and a matte finish might be preferable for safety purposes when it comes to floors. With the right finish, penny round tiles are extremely durable and can handle a lot of foot traffic without becoming slippery.Are penny round tiles OK for a shower floor?
Penny round tiles can look incredible in a shower, but are they safe for shower floors? Like other mosaic shapes, they can work well as a flooring option for showers. Bear in mind, though, that this will make cleaning the floor of your shower a little bit more challenging, as there are more grout lines for dirt and mould to build up in.
It can also be challenging to find the amount of penny round tiles necessary to fully tile a shower unit. This could be an unexpected downside to how durable these little tiles can be!
Are penny round tiles hard to clean?
Perhaps unsurprisingly due to the number of tiles, penny round tiles can be time-consuming to clean. Showers, bathrooms and kitchens all have high foot traffic which means that these areas more quickly build up dirt and grime. This is even more true with penny round tiles as the number of grout lines necessary means that you will have to be meticulous about your regular cleaning routine, scrubbing and drying the tiles with a gentle solution that does not damage them.
