Choosing the right tiles for your bathroom is about more than just looks—it’s about balancing style, safety, and durability. At Lonix Ceramica, we help homeowners and designers create bathrooms that are both beautiful and practical. Here’s our guide to picking the perfect GVT and PGVT tiles for your bathroom.
1. Focus on Function and Finish
Bathrooms are high-moisture areas, so tile choice matters. GVT tiles (Glazed Vitrified Tiles) come with textured or matte finishes that reduce slipperiness, making them ideal for bathroom floors. Their glazed surface adds stain and water resistance, so cleaning becomes easier and quicker.
For walls or vanity backsplashes, PGVT tiles (Polished Glazed Vitrified Tiles) are perfect. Their polished surface reflects light beautifully, creating a brighter, more spacious look in smaller bathrooms.
2. Choose the Right Size and Layout
Tile size affects both aesthetics and installation. Large-format GVT and PGVT tiles reduce grout lines, giving your bathroom a sleek, modern appearance and making cleaning simpler. For compact spaces, consider smaller tiles or mosaics in niches or borders to add visual interest without overwhelming the space.
Dry-lay tiles first to find the best layout. This helps avoid awkward cuts and ensures patterns or veins align perfectly, especially important when using marble-look PGVT tiles.
3. Prioritize Safety
Bathroom safety is key. GVT tiles with matte or anti-skid finishes offer better slip resistance than highly polished surfaces, especially on wet floors. Use polished PGVT tiles mainly on walls, where slipperiness isn’t an issue.
4. Play with Color and Design
Neutral colors like soft greys, beige, and off-whites create a calm, spa-like atmosphere. For a modern twist, combine dark matte GVT floor tiles with light polished PGVT wall tiles for contrast. Digital printing technology allows for creative patterns—stone, wood, or geometric designs that can give your bathroom a unique identity.
5. Don’t Overlook Grout and Details
Choose grout colors that match or complement your GVT and PGVT tiles. Thin grout lines offer a cleaner look, while contrasting grout can highlight tile shapes and patterns. Sealing grout keeps it fresh and prevents moisture buildup.
6. Maintenance Matters
Both GVT and PGVT tiles from Lonix Ceramica are designed for easy maintenance. Their vitrified core offers high water resistance, while the glazed surface helps repel stains. Regular cleaning with mild detergent keeps tiles looking new, without the need for harsh chemicals.
7. Create a Luxurious Touch
Add visual luxury by using feature walls with PGVT tiles that have marble or metallic effects. Use mosaic borders or textured GVT tiles to create niches for shampoos and accessories, blending function with style.
