How do I remove tiled plaster walls in shower area?


My husband and I took on the project of remodeling/restoring our bathroom. We began ripping out the old tiles to be replaced with subway tiles when we found that the tiles we are ripping down were installed right onto the old plaster walls. We want to tear it all down and install concrete board to adhere the new tile to, but my question is...is there an easier/less messy way of tearing down the tiled plaster wall or is it basically just hack away?

Sledge away girl!!!! Also, crowbar, and keep the shop vac ready to go!

How To Select The Right Natural Stone Products To Use In Your Bathroom

One of the best trends in bathroom remodeling has been the use of natural stone products. From bathroom vanities to floor and wall tiles, natural stone products have been working their way in to every corner of the modern washroom. People love how easy they are to care for and the beauty and value that they can bring with a bathroom remodeling project.

 

If you are thinking about natural stone products to use in bathroom vanities, you want to make sure that they are durable and easy to care for. Choices of natural stone products include marble and granite. There are a number of different tops for bathroom vanities in both single and double sink styles. The color variations can be stunning when paired with the right cabinetry. For a truly modern look, you can also choose a stone bowl-style sink. These sinks sit on top of the bathroom vanities and these can be great if you want to use a piece of cabinetry that was not originally designed or intended for use in a bathroom. It is one of the hottest trends in bathroom vanities at the moment.

 

Other places that natural stone products can be used are as floor and wall tiles. Floor tiles and wall tiles are available in slate, granite, marble, travertine and several other types of natural stone. You should keep in mind that some stone products have different care requirements than others and that you should not overpower the room with a bunch of mismatched elements.

 

Regular decorating rules still apply even when working with natural stone products in a bathroom. If you are planning to use natural stone products to tile the walls, you may want to stick to lighter colored tiles with the occasional splash of more intense color. This is so that the room continues to look large, light and airy rather than cramped and closed in. Natural stone products can be purchased in tiles which range from large squares for use on floors to smaller squares and subway tiles for the walls. You are not limited to only one type, shape or color of tile but with every additional type or color of tile your cost will increase.

 

Natural stone products can also be used in the shower. Consider how striking your shower can look if you have it tiled in square tiles with a band of mosaic tiles. These can be the same as the larger tiles or be made from complimentary natural stone products. Keep in mind that different natural stone products have different grains and degrees of hardness so you may want to speak with a designer to make sure that you will get the results you are looking for.

 

It doesn’t matter whether the natural stone products you are using are designed for bathroom vanities, sinks or tiles. The range of colors and choices make it possible to find something that suits every taste and budget and can help you to get the bathroom of your dreams.

Description

From subtly shimmering white subway-style walls to dramatic colorful mosaics, tile is one of the most seductive ways to enhance the beauty of a space. Long prized for its durability, tile has become more of an object of aesthetic desire than ever before. Your heart may be set upon using it, but with thousands of imaginative options available, you may not know where to begin. Now, The Art of Tile beautifully illustrates what to use, how to use it, and where to use it. First, design writer and tile enthusiast Jen Renzi walks you through the basics of using the medium: selecting the best materials for certain spaces; installation and maintenance considerations; and aesthetic aspects, such as using tile as an accent or pairing tiles with different patterns in the same area. She then helps you answer the big-picture questions: Do I want eco-friendly bamboo tile in the bathroom? Gorgeous gold-leaf Italian glass tile on my backsplash? Or just a neutral-colored tile with a raised texture? Along the way, you’ll see dozens of installations to spark your imagination, including all of the latest advances and never-before-seen options, such as luxurious leather tile floors that coddle the feet, surprisingly realistic imitation-wood tiles made from porcelain, and an explosion of roses in a red-and-white dining room mosaic.If you’d rather page through thousands of options to make your choice based simply on what strikes your eye, the catalog section of this book is the ultimate resource: more than 1,500 tile options organized in groupings such as: * Color (typical color families, as well as pastels, vivids, and pure white)* Pattern (damasks, dots, loops, herringbone)* Motif (such as nautical themes, animals, food, or flowers)* Texture (from subtle to dimensional)* Shape (beyond squares, circles, and rectangles to hexagons, diamonds, and ovals)* Material (including ceramic, cement, stone, and shell)* Mosaic (from interlacing vines to abstract geometrics)With inspiring photographs of tile installations from Montauk to Morocco, an extensive resource guide, and expert advice from architects, designers, homeowners, and tile manufacturers, The Art of Tile is as much a feast for the eyes as it is an indispensable and comprehensive resource.
