By Christine Watson


If you are thinking about redecorating your home, you may be considering which materials to use. An increasing number of people are choosing to use natural materials such as limestone tiles Austin in order to give their home a warm, comfortable and relaxing feel. If you like the look of limestone tiles but are unsure how to use them as effectively and attractively as possible, here are some tips that you may want to think about.

While you might think that limestone is only available in one color, this is actually not true. There may not be the same range of colors that are available in other materials, but there are some beautiful varieties that you may want to take a look at. Looking at all of your options can help you ensure that you are able to get the look you are trying to achieve.

Some types of stone are harder than others. These harder stones include granite, basalt and marble. There are also some harder types of limestone as well. Knowing what you are dealing with can help ensure you do not use the wrong product for your needs. Keep in mind that limestone is less expensive than other types of stone would be.

There are some stone tiles that have hard surfaces. They are often easy to clean if an item such as food gets on them. Limestone is not like this. It does need to have a product used on the surface which will seal it and make it harder to stain. You may need to keep applying the sealant on a regular basis although it will depend on how much wear and tear the tiles are subjected to.

If you want to use this material in your home, you need to think about where you will put it. If you want to use tiles on your floor, you may want to look for ones that specifically state they are meant for flooring. They may be finished differently or be made of thicker pieces of stone so that they are more durable. Wall tiles can often be smaller and more delicate since they likely will not have as much chance of being broken as they would if they were on the floor.

A room that feels cramped or small can be improved with the use of these products. For example, using them in a monochromatic way can make it feel like the walls in the room are receding. You may feel like a particular area feel s more spacious if you use a single, light colored option in your home. Different sizes or shapes of tiles may also help to contribute to a larger, more spacious interior.

While it can be beautiful to use a single type or color of tile in one area you will also have the option of combining shapes, materials and colors in order to make patterns. Some people like the look of shiny glass accent tiles along with natural limestone ones while others will want to combine more than one type of stone. Getting samples to play around with can help you ensure you have the best look possible for your needs.

Of course, you can have the most beautiful tiles but unless you are using the right tools and products you will not be happy with the outcome. Make sure you have the proper tools to cut or shape your tiles. Use the right adhesive to attach them to the wall or floor. You also need to ensure you have the right grout for your needs to ensure that everything stays looking and feeling as good as possible.
