Tile Installation

Trends in customization of tile murals

There is a growing trend in adding tile murals to the home, especially in kitchen designs and in bathrooms, as well as being applied within restaurants, hotels and businesses to create the right atmosphere within these environments. There are designs to suit all types of room, from Victorian period houses to ultra modern office suites. Tile murals can vary in function from kitchen and bathroom splash backs to images recreating classic paintings, cherished photographs or custom designs. Produced on ceramic tiles of varying sizes and dimensions, images can be printed onto the tiles to create a mural of the customer’s choice and size. Using digital art techniques almost any design can be applied to the mural tiles, including sports scenes, paintings by the Old Masters, birds and butterflies, wildlife scenes and sea life and nautical scenes. The choice of design is a very personal decision, made by the client and the end result is a highly unique product if the design is to be a one off creation. Business meeting rooms and public spaces both internal and external can all be enhanced with tile murals, depicting a scene that is relevant to its environment.

In order to maximize the available wall space in a room where a tile mural is to be placed, underfloor heating is an excellent choice to enhance the tile murals, so that the eye is not detracted by unsightly radiators. If underfloor heating is to be installed in an existing room, it is necessary to lay the pipes underneath a timber laminate floor which is placed on top of the existing floor and so existing doors and skirting boards will require lifting to accommodate it. The same level of comfort can be achieved with temperatures being lowered by 2 degrees centigrade. There is more space to accommodate furniture with underfloor heating and in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, floors will dry off more quickly.
