The world of home design and remodeling is constantly evolving and changing. From the shag carpet craze to the vinyl window movement in the mid-90s—new design trends are always popping up. And sometimes these trends are a blast from the past.
Subway tile, a once standard feature in both kitchens and bathrooms, is making a major comeback in 2013. Known for its classic elegance, subway title can integrate seamlessly into virtually any kitchen or bathroom, making it a perfect choice for your next remodeling project. While the “look” is admired by many, its upkeep isn’t revered by everyone.
One of our great vendors, Swanstone, has developed a faux subway tile, which is available in 36″ x 96″ panels. This low maintenance alternative is a great option for homeowners who dislike the flat look of standard panels, but don’t want to deal with grouting and cleaning tile.
When we say “low maintenance”—we aren’t kidding! Aside from ZERO grouting, sealing and caulking, it is also resistant to stains, preserving the new look of your space for years to come.
The tile can be used in a variety of ways too. While it is most commonly utilized in showers and bath tubs it also makes for a great backsplash.
