Kick the bucket: Paint vs Tiles with Stiles
At Stiles, we care about the heart of your home but with its demanding schedule to make the best memories we recommend keeping the area fitted with only the best products to keep the show going. With the traditional use of paint in common areas, we have a look at what makes tiles your best solution
Maintenance:
Kitchens and bathrooms are bound to be exposed to everyday elements such as stains and heat. Where paint cannot brace itself for damage tiles can pick up the slack with their durability and ease to clean. With just a bit of soap and water, your room finishes can look as good as new. Over time paint can easily chip away with use or become discoloured with tiles’ long durability you won’t be needing any recoats either!
Shop Exclusive:
- Monocibec Chiaroscuro Salar Natural Rectified 600x1200mm
- Viva Metallica Metalbrick Grey Polished 60x240mm
- Monocolour Atlantis Liso Gloss 75x300mm
Protection from Mould:
In painted areas that are prone to getting wet or even water damage, you sit with the risk of mould forming. If not maintained correctly you can be exposed to multiple health concerns. With tiles being non-porous, they naturally have an anti-bacterial advantage over paint. With their easy ability to clean and water-resistant finish, we highly recommend tiles for any hub in your home.
