Tile Tub Surround To Ceiling Or Not

The larger the tile the larger your area will look.

Tile tub surround to ceiling or not.

Right now we are in the process of finding which style color tile we are wanting to use but while installing the durock i noticed the long side of the ceiling is a bit out of level. In fact it is considered a feature of so called modern bathrooms. Alrighty so i m in the middle of a bathroom remodel and i m just about ready to tile our tub surround. However some tub and shower combos.

The traditional tub and shower combination has tile running up the walls to at least 7 feet or wherever full tile terminates above the shower head on the wall. It can also cover an entire room. We did tile all the way to the ceiling and i think it s a cleaner nicer look than stopping short of the ceiling a foot or two. I have my new tub installed vapor barrier up and the durock screwed in place.

Giving that part of a bathroom a distinct appearance from the rest of the space. Tile to the ceiling gives this shower a larger than life feel. We suggest painting your walls a crisp white or other neutral hue to complement the tile. This is because the presence of numerous tiles let light bounce more which gives the illusion that the space is wider.

The only situation i see where you wouldn t want to tile up to the ceiling is if you have very very tall ceilings in a small space would emphasize the height too much and throw everything off balance i think. Floor to ceiling tiles as demonstrated by domino s coverage of the trend can be used exclusively in a shower area or even in a dog shower. If you are aiming to make your bathroom appear bigger the floor to ceiling tile installation is a good option. This allows you to show off more tile without overwhelming the space.
