Bathroom Tile: 4 Timely Tips to Help you Extract the best looks.

While choosing your bathroom tile, you should give some thought to a few factors. It is very important to choose the right design since these tiles will play a decisive role in defining the bathroom’s looks. Mosaic seems to work well with most people and is a favored tile all over the world.

Some tips regarding bathroom tiles have been refurbished here:

a.      Size of tiles is an important aspect and one which must not be undermined. Some people opt for small sizes which may not offer you the best looks. On the other hand, some people go with uneven sizes which can again look incongruous in general. In order to get that fetching look and also extract the maximum beauty, it is best to opt for even-sized large tiles. Large-sized tiles not just look good but they eliminate the risk of uneven gaps and faulty designs.

b.      Choosing light colors for the bathroom tile is a much better idea than choosing darker shades. Light-colored tiles will give the bathroom that translucent look and create an illusion of a huge sprawling floor. It is a great trick to impress your guests, since such large and light tiles always have a striking effect.

c.       It is also important that you create a right blend with the background. Some people may like to go for a contrast in order to create that challenging look. Ultimately, it is about your own taste. But at the same time, the size of the bathroom and the lighting conditions also play some role.

d.      While choosing a bathroom tile, you should give the highest emphasis on the quality. The objective is to fetch the highest life out of them, since your investment is going to be fairly large. So, opt for a company which guarantees you high-quality, durable tiles at the minimum cost. 

Bathroom Faucets: It is time to spice up your Bathroom!

Bathrooms have sprung into the limelight in recent years with more and more people waking up to the importance of a bath décor. Ignoring your bathroom’s looks can cost you personal happiness and will also rob you of the joy of flaunting your riches before your guests. These days, some splendid varieties of bathroom faucets have invaded the market. These faucets offer multiple functions. 

They are indispensable as utility tools since they are essential for washing up. But at the same time, their real charm lies in their stunning looks. They are carved to perfection with a body which can give the likes of Angeline Jolie and Ketty Perry a bit of a complex. They also come in a deluge of colors so that you can select one which best fits into the background.

In terms of finishing, you will again be peppered with many choices. If you prefer shine and gloss, then the bathroom faucets made of brass, nickel or gold will be truly wonderful. If you are a purist who revels in traditional designs, then you can also get them in steel or copper versions.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that the faucets are all same when you turn them on. Here too, they can differ drastically. Some bathroom faucets are one-holed i.e. they give off a thick jet of water through a single hole. On the other hand, some faucets have multiple holes and they eject a jet of thin streams, pretty much like a fountain.

The popularity of a waterfall bathroom faucet has also gone on to touch the roofs.

Eventually, a lot will depend on your individual preference and budget. Though it is true that you should browse through the varieties carefully, at the end of the day each style has its own merits. No matter what you choose, you will end up with something enticing for your bathroom décor. 

Advantages of an Undermount Kitchen sink over a traditional sink.

In all these years, a kitchen sink has always stayed in the shadows, like an unsung hero which hardly gets the plaudits despite the good work. Without a sink, life can appear unimaginable since this area is responsible for all the washing and cleaning. Thankfully, these days, people have become a lot more conscious about the importance of a good kitchen sink and are taking every effort possible to install the best one. 

One of the best sinks to have emerged in recent times is the undermount kitchen sink. This is an innovative design wherein the sink is fitted in underneath the hole, contrary to the traditional style. So, in the process, the homemaker can benefit in some additional ways. 

An undermount kitchen sink does not create problems of mess and clutter. Quite often, with the traditional sinks, garbage piles up and can look very unpleasant to the eye. This problem can be resolved by opting for this new-age undermount sink which eliminates the issue of garbage deposit. It also blends in easily with the countertop and the homemaker has to trouble herself less when trying to clean the area. Since the sink is on parallel lines with the countertop, the garbage which is piled up can flow down of its own accord and pass down the drainage pipe. 

An undermount kitchen sink also is much more appealing to the eye than the traditional sink. Earlier, the sinks were supposed to offer the basic functions of drainage. But now, with the world getting so sophisticated and fashionable, the manufacturers are dishing out products which are multi-functional. Apart from sticking to their original functions, they also double up as décor objects or showpieces, thereby bringing in a tinge of glamour to the kitchen. 

For their great looks and friendly use, these sinks are getting more and more popular.

My first kitchen project started the day one when I saw my new place.  I was in the process of buying a condo in Las Vegas and I saw a potential about having a new and updated kitchen. For a good reason that was my last project after months of hard work. Step by step during this renovation project, I met different people that helped me out to finish areas that needed more attention.

Fortunately, connecting with contractors they recommend me to look at BuilderElements.com and the kitchen cabinets I saw like the Mocha Maple Glaze has everything I was looking for the right color, quality and affordable prices that made me bought my kitchen cabinets.

Is it a good idea that Paul Frank sells glass tile? Home Elements made glass mosaic tile sample for Paul Frank, for children's Bathroom and Playroom Wall Tiles.

What? Glass tile? Paul Frank sells glass tile? Is that supposed to be Home Depot or Lowes' or other building materials showroom's business? How come the cool, cute, lovely design company selling something down to earth?

Well, back to 2010, Paul Frank's creative director had an idea that using the cute Paul Frank cartoon icons such as big mouth monkey image to make glass mosaic tile, which can be used for children's bathroom, or children's playroom, even on McDonalds' children play place, as wall tiles. Imagine how exciting and surprising children will see their favorite cartoon figures like big mouth monkey on their bathroom or playroom!

We at Home Elements ( believe it is a great idea and we spent 2 weeks to make the samples, and then another 1 month to improve it. Below is the old samples we had in hand now (yes, they are a little bit dusty and beat up, these are samples made in 2010, 3 years ago):

Regretfully, this project was aborted for unknown reason. We think it is a big pity so we want to show some samples done before and gather your opinion about this idea. If you think this is a good idea, please email us at ContactUs@BuilderElements.com, or leave message on the blog here. - Thank you so much!

Making this kind of glass mosaic tile takes new technology. This is glass tile that you can install on the wall and the color supposed to stay on the back of the tile for long time even lifetime.

So this is not just print the cartoon image on the back of the glass, but these tiles need to go through high temperature kiln to "bake" the color to make it become part of the glass, so the color will not fade.

The biggest challenge is how to control the color still reflect the original color of the original cartoon figures, and all the delicate figure profiles are still there without be damaged, under such a high temperature. Very few glass mosaic tile factories have the technologies. We, Home Elements, with a 20-year glass tile manufacturing and R&D experience is one of the few manufacturers.

Home Elements is open to all kinds of ideas on making glass tile, we can OEM and ODM for you!
