Tiles and Marbles in House Decoration

by Richie Tappel SEO Consultant Any typical tile company offers a variety of tiles and bathroom ware. Tiles now have a global presence and use in all modern buildings. A tile is made of ceramic, metal, stone or even glass. They are typically used to cover floors, roofs, walls and smaller places like tabletops. Some types of tiles are also made from mineral wood, perlite or wood which are then installed in wall and ceiling applications. Tile is in fact a construction piece just like marble.

Marble is a metamorphic rock which is non-foliated and consists of re-crystallized carbonate minerals, typically dolomite or calcite. It is commonly used as a building material or in sculptures. Australian tile is designed mainly to protect a building from rain, wind and heat. Roof tiles are made from local materials like slate or clay. Other types of tiles available are Flat tiles, Pantiles, Imbrex and tegula, antefixes and Roman tiles. Tile Australia used in the bathroom are Floor tiles, Wall tiles, Porcelain tiles, Ceramic tiles, Mosaic tiles and Decorative tiles. They are available in any shape, size or color as per the customer's requirements. They can also be cut into various sizes and shapes by using a diamond tip saw.

Here are some tips to remember while installing the tiles;
1. Both surfaces of the tile must be completely dry.
2. Check for any grease like substance or dust and remove it.
3. Adhesive should be applied in a horizontal fashion and not in a swirling motion.
4. Lift random tiles from time to time to ensure proper contact with adhesive.
5. Avoid gaps between adjacent tiles.
6. Consult the manufacturer before using any adhesive.
7. Take care while using interlocking tiles on roofs. Make sure that all the tiles fit into the groove      perfectly.
8. If cracks appear which are more than 2 mm then they should be immediately filled.

Marble comes in different types too just like tiles Australia. White marble and construction marble are the two major types of marbles. White marble has been used in sculptures since olden days. The factors that go in favor of the white marble are homogeneous, relative isotropy and softness and relative resistance to shattering. Due to its nature, light rays reach about 3-4 mm inside the surface before being scattered which gives the marble a waxy look helping it seem life like. Construction marble is made from serpentine, calcite or dolomite and can withstand polishing.

Marble has been implemented by craftsmen since classical times to glorify floors and ceilings and walls of palaces. Even though it was considered to be a status of wealth to have marble floor, ceilings or walls, currently marble tile Australia is slowly gaining popularity across the world as an adornment.
