Decorating
with Natural Pebble Tiles by
Shelly Whitney
Looking to
update your kitchen,
bathroom, mudroom, or
laundry room, swimming pool, perhaps? Do
you like natural products?
Do you prefer natural,
organic shapes? Then,
decorating with
pebble rock tiles may be
for you!
Beautiful, organic, natural, interesting and highly decorative are all words to describe
pebble tiling. Just take a look at some examples provided in this article - the results are stunning!
Use them for
a fabulous backsplash in
your kitchen, a full shower
enclosure, the backsplash
for your new bathroom
vanity, flooring, or how
about a decorative band of
pebble tiles around your
other ceramic, porcelain or
slate tiles!
Install it yourself...easily!...Yes easily! The
majority of people do
just that.
Read
these pebble tile
instructions completely
before installing:
1. Measure the area you want to tile. Calculate how many tiles you will need.
2. Apply the stone
cement to the applicable
surface (Thinset or
Quickset dry the
fastest)
3. Lay the squares next
to each other vertically
& horizontally and
firmly press into the
cement.
4. Once the cement has
dried, wet the stones or
simply apply a coat of
sealer with a cloth
(although the stones are
very hard, any stone has
some degree of porosity
and will unnecessarily
absorb some of the
grout). Apply the grout
over the top of all the
stones and including the
alternating open spaces
at the edge of the rows.
5. Wait approximately 30 minutes
and then sponge off the
grout from on top of all
the stones....thus the
grout will remain
between all the stones
and at the end of rows.
6. Once the stones have
dried completely, apply the sealer
of your choice
(retaining "natural
appearance" or changing
visual of stones using a
semi-gloss, high-gloss
or stone-enhancer).
Pebble tiled floors and walls are
extremely easy to maintain. Simply wash
them with any mild household cleaner.
And did you know that
pebble tiled floors are extremely
comfortable to walk and stand on? Yes,
they are. In fact, they are even safer
to walk on than most conventional hard
flooring. These tiled floors offer more
traction due to the slightly uneven
(natural) surface which in turn,
prevents slipping. This is why pebble
rock tiling is very popular for showers,
bathroom floors, and around any swimming
pool!
And don't worry about any outdoor
application - pebble tiles are natural
hard stones capable of handling very
high or low temperatures and again,
provide beauty and security!
Remodeling your kitchen or
bathroom flooring or backsplash or swimming
pool surround, or patio bbq area, in a trendy,
natural and organic decorating style is not
only for the rich anymore! You too can
enjoy these beautiful and practical
pebble
rock tiles in your home decor.
