Border tiles are tiles that can be used as a border or cut to use as a border.

Some ranges have wall and floor tiles but also décor tile options. This is to give more options in colour, texture and pattern. If you don’t want your bathroom walls to just be all plain tiles, using a décor tile as a border helps lift your walls, gives it contrast and transforms the overall look. A good example is the Rock range where we used the wave décor tile as a border in the middle to complement the plain tiles.

Mosaic tiles have always been a fantastic option when looking to create a border or zones. They’re available in all shapes and sizes incorporating materials such as glass, natural stone, metal and even a mixture of all 3. Most come on a mesh sheet making it easy to cut, with the size normally being a 300x300mm sheet.

You can also do borders on your bathroom floor using pattern tiles such as Cuban and Havana to create zoning.

You can create a border horizontally or vertically on your walls. If using border tiles horizontally, we would suggest looking at the height of your sink or mirror unit. Using the border tile in between the sink and mirror would be the standard height suggestion. However, it is totally up to you.

Using border tile vertically is a great way to highlight area around your sink and shower wall. This option looks great as you can have patterns or 3 dimensional décor tiles to make the area pop.
