Stainless steel is a popular finish for metallic tiles. It was commonly used in kitchens as backsplash years back. However, other shades and materials are also available such as gold, bronze copper, iron, tin, brass, and pewter. Any of these tiles can add glamour and character to any space, especially those in warmer tones like gold, bronze, and copper.

Some people avoid having metallic tile in their homes because it gives off too much industrial vibe. However, the key here is going with the right color and finish. Instead of stainless steel tiles, for example, go with metallic tiles in warmer tones that will make your kitchen and bath a dramatic, sophisticated look. If you are after a luxurious appeal, go with pewter, brass, iron, or tin.

Aside from being visually stunning, metallic tiles are also known for their durability and resistance to high temperature and moisture.

Why Use Metallic Tiles

The finish of metallic tiles adds shimmer to your home. Basic-looking spaces can look opulent with these tiles. A dull bathroom, for example, can appear like a luxurious spa with the right metallic tiles. As accents, metallic tiles give just the right amount of elegance to any room. The key is not to go overboard. Because the temperature of metallic tiles can vary depending on the surroundings, they may be problematic when used as flooring, so using them just as accents is recommended. However, if you want them to cover an entire area, that area can be your ceiling since you will not be touching it.

Metallic tiles can have various effects in a room, depending on the shade used. For an industrial appeal, stainless steel tiles are recommended. Bronze tiles are also great replacements for traditional tiles if you want your space to look fresh. For spaces with a monochromatic theme, use silver metallic tiles as accents on walls or floors and see the beauty of the room pop out. For an even lavish appeal, nothing can beat gold metallic tiles. The shade can make the most casual space look expensive, aside from making it livelier.

Another reason to go with metallic tiles is that they blend easily with different colors because they reflect their surroundings. Their reflective nature can also make small areas look more spacious.

More About Metallic Tiles

Though metallic tiles sound perfect for your kitchen and bathroom, you have to consider some things before deciding to use them. First, they are prone to scratches and dents, so you should be extra careful when installing them to maintain their metal finish. Second, they are cold to the touch, so they might not be the best choice as floor tiles. Finally, they conduct electricity, so you should not install them near power outlets.

Metallic tiles can be used anywhere in your kitchen and bathroom. They can be on backsplashes, countertops, and showers. Use metallic floor tile as accents instead of covering your entire floor with it. Regardless of where you use them, metallic tiles can add a hint of luxury on any surface. However, note that some types of metallic tiles are not recommended for certain parts of your kitchen and bath, as they are prone to erosion and patina when exposed to moisture. In this case, you can go with a metallic looking tile instead.

Some people may find patina appealing. Patina is usually a green layer that appears when the surface of the metal goes through oxidation or exposure to oxygen. Oxidation is a natural process that some find beautiful and may want to have on their metallic tiles. It happens with metallic tiles made of copper, bronze, or brass. If this effect is not something you would like, avoid these materials. You may still also use these materials but have them clear coated to prevent oxidation from happening too fast.
