Question 1

What are the benefits of using white tiles in a bathroom?

Accepted Answer

White tiles are a timeless choice for bathrooms, offering a clean, crisp, and inviting feeling. Their neutral hue reflects light, making your space feel brighter and more spacious. The versatility allows them to seamlessly integrate into any design style. Pair them with bold accents like vibrant towels or statement fixtures for a playful pop of colour, or keep it minimalist for a sophisticated ambiance.

Question 2

How do I keep white bathroom tiles clean?

Accepted Answer

Regular cleaning with FILA Cleaner Pro (specifically formulated for tiles) helps maintain their brightness. Avoid using bleach and supermarket detergents as they can cause discoloration. In hard water areas, we recommend wiping spills quickly and keeping surfaces dry.

Question 3

What should I consider when choosing white bathroom tiles?

Accepted Answer

Aside from taking a look at samples to appreciate the type of white, look for tiles that are slip-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. Consider the tile's size and colour to match your bathroom’s decor. All our matt tiles are slip resistant, easy to clean and durable (they are made in Italy or Spain).

Question 4

Are large or small tiles better for grey bathrooms?

Accepted Answer

Both large and small tiles can work well. Large tiles create a more seamless, open, and airy look. Fewer grout lines when using large tiles will mean less cleaning and maintenance. Small tiles are more versatile for creating patterns such as herringbone. They can also be more practical for much smaller bathrooms.

Question 5

Do white bathroom tiles require sealing?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain white bathroom tiles do not require sealing as they are hardly absorbent.

Question 6

What other items do I need for white bathroom tiles?

Accepted Answer

We recommend Fugabella grout, and Bostic adhesive for white bathroom tiles. Your builder can provide the levelling kit, spacers, and anti-crack mats.

* Adhesive is used for sticking the white bathroom tiles to the floor.
* Grout is used for the gaps between the white bathroom tiles
* Levelling kits are used to prevent lipping in white bathroom tiles
* Spacers are used to ensure all your white bathroom tiles are evenly spaced
* Anti-crack mats ensure your white bathroom tiles do not crack when the substrate expands and contracts
* Concrete boards might also be required for timber substrates but your builder will advise

Question 7

Should I seal my grout in white bathroom tiles?

Accepted Answer

Grout lines between white bathroom tiles are most likely to get dirty and stain, so yes! Porcelain white bathroom tiles do not normally require sealing because of their low absorbency rate, but the grout lines (gaps between the white bathroom tiles) need to be protected. Sealing the grout lines will protect them from permanent staining. FILA has specific grout sealer products that you can select when making your white bathroom tile purchase.

Question 8

Are white bathroom tiles slippery?

Accepted Answer

The slip resistance of white bathroom tiles depends on two factors: whether or not you are wearing shoes or barefoot, and if the white bathroom tiles are wet or dry. We are assuming the tiles are flat and not on a slope!
White bathroom tiles are slip resistant when dry, barefoot or not, but please ask if you are unsure about your specific choice. To prevent slips on white bathroom tiles, please ensure all spills are wiped immediately. White bathroom tiles are normally a matt finish when porcelain, or honed/tumbled when natural stone. Polished tiles are also sometimes used in bathrooms, but we would not recommend this considering the chances of the floor being wet.

Question 9

Are white bathroom tiles durable?

Accepted Answer

White bathroom tiles are an investment for your home and are down for longer than most rooms, so it’s important to ensure that you choose a high-quality, hardwearing white bathroom tile. You want to rest assured that your w/c, shower, and bath are sitting on a strong, durable and high-quality surface. At Boutique Stone, this is something we are passionate about.
All our handpicked, curated selection of white bathroom tiles are made in Italy and Spain, the leaders in porcelain manufacturing tiles in Europe. This is a conscious decision based on our trust in the industry leaders in white bathroom tile manufacturing. Please search “Ceramics of Italy” and “Tiles of Spain” for more information. Being made in Italy and Spain means that the white bathroom tiles are made in state-of-the-art factories, and by companies heavily invested in using the highest quality of raw materials, and latest technologies. Italian tile design has been setting the trend for white bathroom tiles design for decades.

Question 10

Are white bathroom tiles porous?

Accepted Answer

White bathroom tiles made from porcelain are not porous, so do not require sealing. They have a low absorbency rate (<0.5%). You can easily perform a “water test” on your sample to see how long a drop of water lasts on the surface.
White bathroom tiles made from natural stone such as limestone, marble, or travertine are porous by nature, so they require sealing. We recommend FILA products for sealing, which you can purchase together with your white bathroom tiles.

Question 11

Which size is best for white bathroom tiles?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the dimensions of your bathroom, the size of your white bathroom tiles will contribute to the overall look of your bathroom. Common sense prevails: larger bathrooms tend to look better with larger white bathroom tiles to minimize grout lines. Example large sizes are 600x1200, 600x900, 1200x1200, and slabs. These dimensions are in mm (millimeters).
Smaller bathrooms tend to look better with medium size tiles such as 600x600 and 600x300. Large white bathroom tiles could also work as they can give the illusion of a bigger space. Please consult with your builder to check the practicalities of installing larger tiles in a small bathroom.
Standard white bathroom tile sizes range from 200x200, 400x400, 600x600, 600x900, and 600x1200. These dimensions are in mm (millimetres).

Question 13

Are your white bathroom tiles in stock?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most of our white bathroom tiles are in stock in the UK and ready to dispatch to arrive with you in 2-3 days. When viewing the white bathroom tiles on our website, you will see a delivery declaration showing when we can deliver by. For example, it might say, “In stock Get it by 10 October,” meaning we have your white bathroom tiles in stock in our warehouses and can deliver by the 10th of October.

You can select the Pack & Hold option at the checkout or over the phone.

Question 14

Will my white bathroom tiles look like the sample?

Accepted Answer

Your sample is an excellent guide for the general look, feel, finish, and

thickness of your eventual white bathroom tiles. With that said, we advise against using it as a guarantee of colour, veins, or fossils. White bathroom tile samples may not always show the full variation of a tile.
We advise a combination of looking at photos of the white bathroom tile in other customer projects, artist impressions, and scanning the QR code behind the sample for a video demonstration. You are also free to visit our gallery showroom in Leeds to see full versions of tiles.
The illustration in the brochure shows the comparison between a sample and a full-size tile.
We strongly recommend ordering white bathroom tile samples before committing to a purchase.
