Welcome to Atlas Ceramics
A Secret Revealed To Make Your Bathroom Beautiful...
Let me introduce myself, I'm Peter and I have been with the Atlas team for a good number of years (!)
If you are new to tiling - whether you are doing it yourself or employing a professional tiler, I would like to get you started on the right track.
However, I have picked up so many tips along the way that it's a job to know where to begin! But really the critical factor to choosing tiles is that in order to show your rooms off to their best advantage...
...It's All In The Dimensions.
Nowadays there's so much choice, not like in the old days where you only had a handful of sizes and any colour as long as it was white! I may be exaggerating a little here, but the factories these days make a truly astounding array of designs and colours, which can make it a daunting task picking one to live with for at least 10 years or so.
Wouldn't it be great if we all had bathrooms as large as this one!

You can make the best of your space, by using a tile of a compatible dimension.
Both pictures show exactly the same artist's impression. The lines of the picture showing the larger tiles above look much more harmonious than the ones in the picture below showing tiles of a smaller size.
- This is the reason our website is arranged with the tiles in size order. It means that you don't need to sift through lots of different choices, as you can instantly eliminate the sizes that won't suit your area.
- A benchmark I like to use for a bathroom that requires 16m of wall tiles - is a 250x400mm (upwards) tile. This would be a nice size. I say upwards as many larger interiors have fantastic large expanses of wall that would show off a larger size such as 310x430mm to great effect.
- Do you need to convert from Millimeters to Inches?
