Reinvent Your Home With Iris Tiles

CHOOSE IRIS PORCELAIN TILES FOR MODERN LIVING SPACES

Everyone loves the clean and fresh look of straight lines in a contemporary space, and that look has never been easier to achieve than with Iris porcelain tiles. They offer a sleek and modern look that has the potential to elevate any room with their cohesive aesthetic, seamlessly bringing a fashionable touch to every space these tiles grace. 

But porcelain tiles from Iris aren’t just gorgeous room decorations, they’ve been built to last. Porcelain is well-known for its superb durability which makes it an excellent choice for areas in the home that have lots of foot traffic, for example, kitchens and hallways. When you choose Iris porcelain tiles, you’re getting the best of both worlds, a smooth and easy to clean surface that looks great wherever you decide to use them, as well as a durable material that’s going to endure for years in your home. 

Porcelain has a number of other benefits when it comes to making a decision on which flooring you’re going to employ in your home. Ideal for the kitchen, porcelain is highly resistant to stains, spills, splashes and scratches so you’ll never have to worry about extensive daily wear and tear in this space. As they’re also impervious to moisture too, they make an excellent choice for bathrooms too with their wipe clean surface. 

Wherever you decide to use porcelain tiles in your home, you can’t go wrong with the selection from Iris here at Stone & Tile. 

USE IRIS MOSAIC TILES TO ENHANCE ANY ROOM

Mosaic tiles have been used since ancient times to add elegance, interest and sophistication to any room thanks to their unique qualities. The Iris collection of mosaic tiles here at Stone & Tile is an excellent way to transform your space in style thanks to the diverse range of patterns, colors and designs in this range, ensuring there is something to suit every preference. The tiles in this collection are not just visually appealing to brighten any room, but they’re also high-quality and will remain in great shape for many years. 

Although mosaic tiles can be used on the floor to create a stunning effect, the smaller shapes are more suited to walls. In bathrooms, you can create a sink backsplash, decorate an entire wall of mosaic tiles, or simply use a singular vertical strip of them to add contrast to the main bathroom's large format tiling. Many types of Iris mosaic tile we supply are highly versatile and can be used successfully in a number of settings, including kitchens and outdoor spaces. 

The intricate designs have the ability to transform any area into an art piece and instantly create a focal point for the room. The variety of patterns and colors means that mosaics can be implemented into any kind of decor, whether rustic or modern and everything in between. An additional advantage of mosaic tiles is their durability. Although they often come on netting ready to adhere to the wall with grouting, the tiles themselves are often made from porcelain or ceramic, even natural stone, which is highly durable. 

They are resistant to spills and splashes of water and usually have a honed or polished surface which is easy to wipe down and maintain, ensuring they remain in excellent shape. Whether you are looking to make that dream mosaic backsplash for your kitchen, a stunning floor in a guest bathroom, or an eye-catching design in a key living space, Iris mosaic tiles are a top choice. 

ACHIEVE A PERFECT FINISH WITH IRIS TILES

Something that is often overlooked with tile selection is the kind of finish that will create the perfect aesthetic in your home. Here at Stone & Tile, with the Iris collection, you can choose from honed, polished, matte or even lappato. Honed finish tiles provide a smooth and flat surface with a luster that is toned down and doesn’t reflect light easily in the same way a polished tile does. It retains the natural texture of the material, whether natural stone, ceramic, or porcelain, and has an even appearance ideal for contemporary styles. 

Polished tiles, on the other hand, have a shiny and more reflective surface that bounces the light off and provides a wipe clean surface. Luxury and sophistication are two trademarks of this finish, and the polished surface makes the most of the colorations and patterns of the tile. A matte finish is not too dissimilar to a honed surface, however, their surface is much more natural looking, great for a subdued elegance when used in the home. 

As they’re not as slippery, they make a great choice for areas with moisture, such as the bathroom. We also have some lappato tiles in the range that are semi-polished to provide a shine but still retain depth and texture without the smoothness of polished tile.
