Floor Tiles – Matt Finishing vs Gloss Finishing

Floor Tiles: Difference between Matt & Gloss Tiles - Wutarick Store

Choosing a proper tile for the floor is one of the difficult decision you have to make if you are building a new home or remodelling an existing one.
Aside from the different tile patterns and materials, there are two types of tile finishes: matt and gloss finishing. You will be confronted with the challenge of deciding what finish will suit your bathroom, kitchen, balcony, living room etc the best.

In this blogpost, we will be giving a breakdown of the Matt finishing and Gloss Finishing to aid in your decision making approach.

Difference between Matt Tile and Gloss Tile

A tile with matt finishing gives your overall design a more refined, restrained, and understated aesthetic, whereas gloss finish tiles are polished and have a sheen that refracts light.

Tiles with gloss finishing are perfect for tiny areas since it expands up the area and makes it seems larger. While matt tiles are non-shiny and hence non-slippery, making them ideal for older persons, and children. Matt finishing tiles can be used in bigger spaces that have plenty of ambient or natural light.

If there isn’t enough lighting in the space, gloss finishing tiles can reflect lighting off its sheen, producing a warm and pleasant setting. They are also considerably easy to maintain, requiring only a simple scrub down to be gleaming spotless. On the other hand, matt tiles may not have the same sheen but are still aesthetically stunning, they provide necessary traction on the floor and are perfect for areas where more moisture is expected.

Where to use Gloss or Matt Finishing Tiles

Because tiles with glossy surface are simpler to clean and maintain, they are ideal for usage in low-traffic dry areas of the home, such as the living room, bedroom, lobby, balcony, and corridor floors. They also offer the appearance of a larger space in narrower and more crowded spaces, tight corridors, halls, or entry areas because light bounces back and forth on shining gloss tiles. Glossy tiles are especially great for tiny rooms or visitor suites. The shine of a tiling not just contributes to the impression of expanse, but it also contributes to the elegance and glitz of a room.

Matt finishing tiling is ideal for locations where you need greater traction on the surface. They provide more grip and friction to the surface. They are often adopted in homes with children and older folks to avoid mishaps. It is advised to use tiles with a matt surface for floors either in dry or wet areas. Wet areas which includes bathroom, toilet and kitchen floors and dry areas such as living room, bedroom, and lobby floors. Due to its anti-slip properties, a matt surface is also recommended for exterior spaces such as Balcony and Corridor.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Gloss Finishing Tiles

Advantages are;

  1. It transforms your room and makes it look more spacious
  2. They are very easy to clean
  3. They are more modern and contemporary in design

Disadvantages are;

  1. Any scratch on the surface is more visible
  2. They have a slippery surface and are more prone to slips and mishaps
  3. The shine and gloss in certain environments can be distracting

Advantages and Disadvantages of Matt Finishing Tiles

Advantages are;

  1. Better traction that makes it slip-resistant
  2. They are low-maintenance
  3. They give a more rustic vintage look

Disadvantages are;

  1. Matt tiles are not fit for smaller spaces
  2. The stains and spills on them are more difficult to remove

Which of these finishing is the best to use?

Each tile finishing incorporated has its advantages and disadvantages, so it is entirely dependent on your tastes. A lot of these is dependent on the concept you want to achieve, as well as the scale, appearance, colour, and atmosphere of the room. Alternatively, you may combine both tiles to get a fusion effect. It all comes down to personal choice in the end.

You can also choose to utilize two separate finishing in the same home but separate areas. For instance, in the bedroom or common area, you may use gloss tiles, whereas, in the bathroom or kitchen, you could use matt tiles.

Finally, it is up to you to decide whatever appearance you like for your floor – there are no strict guidelines to adopt when answering the matt vs gloss tiles question.

Features to Consider when buying a Range Hood

Range Hood (Kitchen Heat Extractor) - Image Credit: Sweethome Bathrooms

In our previous blogpost, we talked about What is a Range Hood, How a Kitchen Heat Extractor works and why you need to have a Kitchen Smoke Extractor in your home. You can read it here

PS: A Range Hood is also called a Kitchen Hood, a Kitchen Heat Extractor or a Kitchen Smoke Extractor. In this blogpost, they would be used interchangeably.

In this blogpost today, we will be talking about the features to consider when buying a Range Hood.

There are many different types and sizes of Kitchen Heat Extractors designed to fit the way you cook, your cooking surface and your kitchen setup. When choosing a kitchen hood, make sure you match it to your home and lifestyle.

Learn more about how to choose a Kitchen smoke extractor with these considerations:

Power:

CFM, or cubic feet-per-minute, measures how much air your ventilation system can move in one minute. Gas stove venting requirements typically call for a higher CFM rating than venting requirements for electric ranges. You also have to pay attention to the power and voltage rating for power consumption.

Sound:

Older ventilation systems are often associated with a lot of noise. Thankfully, newer range hoods can be quieter thanks to the implementation of low sound level technology.

Lighting:

It is also important for the Kitchen Extractor to be able to light up your cooking space, so you should look for one with bright lights that let you see your entire work surface.

Pairing:

It is important to make sure to pair the size of your range hood with the size of your cooking surface. At minimum, pairing should be size for size (30″ hood with 30″ cooking surface). Be sure to check the dimensions of the Kitchen smoke extractor and comparing with your cooking surface before making the purchase.

Sensors:

Most newer Kitchen Heat Extractor comes with sensor switch which is often controlled by hand or via an app. Using this means you can control your rangehood easily as all you have to do is move you hands or press a button on your phone.

We have a video to show you how the hand sensor switch works. Watch video here.

Venting:

Depending on design and construction of your home, you might have to choose between a recirculating hood or a duct range hood.

A recirculating or ductless range hood should contain a carbon or charcoal filter which absorbs and traps air contaminants like smoke, steam and odours rather than transferring them to the outside of your home the way that a duct would.

In a duct range hood, contaminated air is suctioned through the vent in your range hood and quickly transported to the outdoors, while fresh, clean air is pulled in from the outside into your kitchen to replace the contaminated air that has been removed.

Not sure where to start? Wutarick Store can recommend the best Kitchen Heat Extractor for you.

What is a Range Hood?

A range hood, also known as a vent hood or kitchen hood or heat extractor, is a kitchen appliance equipped with a mechanical fan, or blower, that extracts steam, smoke, odors, grease, and heat from your kitchen.

It evacuates air contaminants and heat from your kitchen by capturing them and transporting them to the outside of your home through a duct.

How does it work?

While cooking, the hood draws in moisture, smoke and grease via a fan. Hoods with outside ventilation pull that air out of the home through ductwork. Recirculating range hoods use a series of filters to scrub the air before returning it to the room.

Running your kitchen hood fan for several minutes before you start cooking helps create suction so there is no delay in venting. Running the fan for several minutes after cooking can also help clear any additional smoke and odor from the air.

Why do I need a Range Hood?

It is one of the most important appliances in a modern kitchen as it ensures that the air quality in your home remains safe and breathable by removing harmful smoke, steam, and other air contaminants from the air and replenishing your kitchen with fresh air from the outside.

Most respiratory health concerns, like asthma or allergies, are alleviated through regular use of a kitchen heat extractor. Using a kitchen hood also prevents oil from settling on the surfaces of your kitchen, thereby protecting your cooking area from accumulating a layer of sticky grease or stains.

Using a kitchen exhaust hood also mitigates offending odors during food preparation, relieving concerns about unwanted smells lingering after cooking odoriferous foods like fish or snail or even food items like locust beans. Finally, a range hood can help maintain a comfortable temperature in your kitchen by removing excess heat.

We talked extensively about some of the key features to consider when buying a Range Hood for your kitchen in another blogpost.

You should always go for materials that require less maintenance and give maximum benefit. A good example of this is going for tiles over carpet or rugs for your floors. Tiles are low on maintenance and can last as long as 50 years if properly maintained. We talked about the advantage of tiles in this blog post here, you can read more about it. Remember to always go for the most durable building materials when making your choice.

What are Sanitary Wares?

Sanitary Wares | Buy online at Wutarick Store

The term ‘sanitaryware’ or ‘sanitary wares’ is a slightly ambiguous one that in very general terms refers to sanitary appliances found in installations, such as toilets and bathrooms.

In its narrowest sense, it can be taken to refer to WC bowls, cisterns, bidets, urinals, and washbasins (and sometimes sewerage pipes), that have traditionally been manufactured from porcelain (a ceramic material made from clay that might be described as ‘vitreous china’ when coated with enamel).

This might be referred to as ceramic, porcelain or china sanitary ware, and is often white.

However, sanitary wares are now made from a wide range of materials, including metals, acrylics, glass, and so on, and ‘sanitaryware’ is sometimes now interpreted to include a wider range of appliances that might be found in sanitary installations such as baths, showers, bins, incinerators, macerators, and so on.

At Wutarick Store, we have a wide collection of Sanitary Ware available for sale. You can check them out here.

7 Reasons Why You Should Use Tiles

A picture of a living area with tiles

In this post, we are going take you through the reasons why we think you should make use of tiles in your next project either building a new home or renovating your current home.

One of the things you have to consider when renovating or building your home is the type of material to be used in areas like the bathroom, kitchen, or other living space. But which material is best for your project? Should you just paint, use a wallpaper carpet, laminate, leave it bare or use tile?

Naturally, you are going to want something that, not only looks good but will be able to withstand use. That is where Tiles comes in, because only Tiles can deliver on both.

1. Tiles Are Easy To Clean

Tiles are very easy to clean. We earlier mentioned some reasons why you should clean your tiles regularly. Unlike carpet or rug which easily collects dirt and needs to be cleaned thoroughly regularly, tiles do not require as much attention. Tiles are much easier and less time-consuming to care for than other materials.
By simply cleaning tiles with a mop twice in a week, they will look pristine. For areas with low movement or usage, weekly mopping may not even be required while heavy movement areas would require more.

2. Tiles will Look Good for Year

Tiles are the most durable flooring product available on the market. Compared to carpet or rug which can easily stain and fade with time, Tiles can still look very good for years as long as they are properly installed, maintained and cared for, they will continue to look as good as the first day they were installed. Other flooring products like wood or vinyl cannot last for years as they harbour germs, scuffs or even tear which would result in the whole floor needing to be replaced.

3. Tiles are Versatile

At Wutarick Store, we have hundreds of unique tiles which comes in many different shapes, sizes, patterns and colours, so there is always a Tile to reflect your personality and taste. From porcelain tiles to Mosaics, there is an almost limitless choice for every taste and budget out there from modern to urban designs. With other flooring types like rug and carpet, you may be stuck with a very smaller pool of options to choose from compared to Tiles.

4. High-End Look

If you aim to create a high-end look in your home or office space without breaking the bank, tiles offer you a far better option compared to others. Tiles hold their value far better and add a more elegant, sophisticated and eye pleasing look to your space.

Shopping on Wutarick allows our committed team to bring you the highest quality tiles at absolutely competitive prices. Regardless of whatever tiles you end up choosing, we will ensure that your floor looks the best.

5. Tiles are Hypoallergenic

Regardless of your allergy, Tiles are hypoallergenic. The hard, flat surface of both ceramic and porcelain tiles make them the perfect choice for those that suffer from allergies. Unlike Carpet or rugs that are haven for allergens, dust mites, pollen, and pet hair which cannot cling to tile surfaces making them ideal. With tiles, you do not have to worry about such allergies.

6. Tiles are Fire Resistant

Conventionally, tiles like ceramic or porcelains are well known for their ability to naturally withstand high temperature including fires. Since tiles don’t burn or scorch, this makes them perfect for use in the kitchen, unlike carpet or rugs which can easily catch fire.

7. Tiles are Budget-Friendly

With Tiles, there is something for every budget. Tiles are relatively reasonable and we have types of tiles that are suitable for every budget. We understand that cost is something you always have to consider when renovating or designing your project.

8 Tips to Make Your Bathroom Smell Good always

8 Tips to Make Your Bathroom Smell Good always | Wutarick Store

Making your bathroom smell good is quite easy. Bathrooms can so easily swing on the pendulum from “spa-like retreat” to “smelly, dirty, and damp” sometimes seemingly overnight. But funky smells in the bathroom are not inevitable.
By keeping your bathroom clean, keeping up with a few chores, and adding some scent-boosters to your space, keeping your bathroom smelling great really isn’t so hard after all.

Continue reading to find out some of our favourite tips to make your bathroom smell good.

01. Clean Often

One of the best way to mask up odours and smells in the bathrooms is by preventing them in the first place. And the easiest way to prevent them is to clean your bathroom regularly. Even if it’s as simple as wiping down your bathroom sink every other day, a little bit of cleaning can go a long way.
Other easy things to clean that prevent smells? Make sure you’re regularly washing your bathmat and towels, and give your toilet a regular scrub every so often too.

02. Use a Diffuser

A diffuser is a small device that releases scents into the air through heat, compressed air, or ultrasonics. It’s typically filled with an essential oil blend, and its small size makes a diffuser the ideal solution for making tiny spaces smell great.
Use a diffuser in your own bathroom by placing it on the back of your sink, behind your toilet, or on another stand. It’s great for creating a spa-like environment during a long bath or shower.

03. Watch Out for Damp Towels

One of the biggest culprits of that shower stink are your damp, unwashed towels. When left folded or in a pile on the floor while still damp, your fancy, plush towels soon become nothing more than a mildewy mess.
But you can easily avoid this by doing any of these; First, don’t leave your towels on the floor—always hang them up to dry, especially if they are damp. Second, don’t fold them if they’re even a little bit damp either. Make sure they’re bone-dry first. Third, wash your towels regularly. We recommend washing them at least every week.

04. Use Your Favourite Fragrant Soaps

It’s time to treat yourself and buy your favorite fragrant body wash. There’s nothing like walking into a steamy bathroom that smells like freshly cut roses and lilacs.
Using your favourite fragrant soaps (which in turn provide fragrance to your bathroom) is an easy way to keep your bathroom smelling great. A similar effect can be had with scented bubble bath and bath bombs.

05. Ventilate Your Bathroom

On that note, it’s important not to keep your bathroom steamy for too long. After each long shower or bath, open up your bathroom windows (if you have any) and ventilate the space for about 10-15 minutes. This would make your bathroom smell good.
Doing this rids the tiny space of excess moisture, which is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to causing stinky smells, and it provides fresh air—the perfect antidote to a bathroom funk. If you don’t have a bathroom window (not all of us are so blessed), run your bathroom fan for the same amount of time.

06. Use Plants

A little greenery goes a long way when it comes to sprucing up your bathroom’s scent. Indoor plants generate oxygen and freshness in the bathroom. Keep them in a creative way to make your bathroom look aesthetic.
You can implement flora in the bathroom many ways—if you have a window, plant some strongly scented herbs near it, like lavender or mint. You can also used dried herb bouquets in a vase for an elegant touch to your vanity.
Or, you can turn the luxury dial all the way up and place a dried bouquet of eucalyptus under your showerhead—get ready for one of the best-smelling showers you’ve ever had.

07. Use Detergent or Fabric Softener in Your Toilet Tank

Your toilet can be another unfortunately smelly place. However, the battle to fight seemingly-unavoidable odour is not immediately lost.
Try out this trick to bring some fresh scents to a stinky bathroom: place a little bit of fragranced laundry detergent or fabric softener in the tank of your toilet. Now, whenever the toilet is flushed, the scented water will be released into the bowl and provide a touch of fragrance.

You can shop for your Bathroom Accessories and Sanitary Wares from Wutarick Store at unbeatable prices today. 

08. Always Take Out the Trash

There are other stinky culprits in the bathroom beyond the toilet, like the trash bin. But thankfully, it’s easy to fight trash can odours in your bathroom. First thing’s first: take out the trash regularly, even if it’s not full. Sitting trash only brings stink.
Additionally, when you do take out the trash, place a few drops of your favourite essential oil in the empty trash bin and bag. The oil will provide a pop of fresh scent whenever the can or bin is opened.

By incorporating this simple habits in your daily routine, you can make your bathroom smell good all the time.

Why You Should Clean Floor Tiles Regularly

Why You Should Clean Floor Tiles Regularly

Frequent cleaning of floor tiles is essential for several reasons, both aesthetic and practical.

Floor tiles can make or break a guest’s impression of your home. Your house can be squeaky clean, but if the floor tiles look spotty, it can label you as a messy person. Worst case scenario – dirt from the tiles stains your guest’s outfit or even their feet after staying at your place.

Dirt on floor tiles are easy to spot, no matter the material they’re made of. Once you notice the tiles get a film of grease or dust, it’s cleaning tile floor o’clock!

It’s advisable to clean the tiles once you spot the dirt and not let it pile up. This will open up a lot more work for you down the road. Kitchen floors are exposed to grease, which may even damage the tiles. It’s best if you set and follow a regular cleaning routine.

The following reasons are why you should clean your floor tiles regularly;

– Appearance: Regular cleaning keeps tiles looking their best. Dirt, spills, and grime can make ceramic and porcelain tiles look dull and unattractive. Cleaning helps maintain the shine and color of the tiles, ensuring they look as good as new for longer.
– Hygiene: Floors can harbor bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Regular cleaning eliminates these harmful microorganisms, contributing to a healthier living environment, especially important in homes with young children, elderly people, or anyone with allergies or respiratory issues.
– Prolongs Tile Life: Dirt and grit can be abrasive. Over time, they can cause wear and tear on tiles, especially on softer tile materials. Regular cleaning prevents this gradual damage, thereby prolonging the life of your tile flooring.
– Grout Maintenance: Grout lines can absorb stains and become discolored if not cleaned regularly. This discoloration can be challenging to reverse. Regular cleaning helps to prevent grout from becoming dingy and stained.
– Prevents Mold and Mildew: In areas with high moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens, tiles can become breeding grounds for mold and mildew. Regular cleaning helps prevent the growth of these fungi, which can be hazardous to health and difficult to eradicate once they take hold.
– Safety: Spills on tile floors can create slip hazards. Prompt cleaning of spills prevents accidents, particularly important in homes with elderly residents or young children.
– Preserves Tile Finish: Certain types of tiles have a protective glaze or finish that can be damaged by dirt and grit. Regular cleaning helps to preserve this finish, keeping the tiles protected.
– Enhances Overall Room Ambiance: Clean floors contribute to the overall cleanliness and ambiance of a room. Dirty or dingy floors can make even the most well-decorated spaces feel unkempt.

The suggested frequency of cleaning the floor tiles is 2 times a week to keep them looking shiny. Reaching that pristine tile finish requires knowledge of the tile type, using specific cleaners, and an appropriate cleaning routine.
To maintain floor tiles, it’s recommended to sweep or use a vacuum cleaner regularly to remove dirt and grit, and mop with a suitable cleaner to remove stains and build-up. Also, immediate attention to spills and regular grout cleaning will help maintain the floor’s appearance and longevity.
