guys, just want to check what surface of wall tiles are suitable for bathroom.

Gloss? Matte? Rough surface?

If rough surface wall tiles, is it difficult to clean it?

How about concrete table top?

There are so many surfaces...matte? satin? polished?

Concrete table top you want it to be glossy and shiny and easy to wipe off.

The only thing I did not like using tiles is that the grouting between the tile. It is easy to get dirty. Maybe use black tiles and black grouting. The dirtier it gets, the newer it looks  laugh.gif

Choose as big tile as possible to reduce grouting lines.

Just buy tile grout from DIY shop and apply it yourself. Easy to find. Very easy. No special skill required. You can youtube on how to apply grout.

no no no

dont use grinder to remove grout cement

u are not pro later ur tiles damage

even contractors dont use this method

just use scrapper to remove grout and apply grout cement

it is better if u using vacuum to clean the left over grout
