There are many projects which can improve not only the value of your home, but also the beauty. However, there are only a few which are very affordable. Adding new fireplace tiles to your fireplace and its hearth are one of them. Available for any budget they can make a huge impact on any space.

One of the best parts about a fireplace tile project is that it requires only a fraction of the tiles that a floor or wall project would. That means that even on a small budget you can often times afford very high-end tiles. And luckily there is a ton of options to choose from no matter what your price range. From different strengths, textures, and glazes, to patterns, and sizes, there are endless possibilities available for the homeowner.

Today, anyone can purchase tiles that in the past were only available to the extremely wealthy. There is a huge selection of top-quality Victorian fireplace tiles many of which are replicas of original designs. Edwardian, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau tiles are also a fantastic way to go. If you like floral and wildlife scenes they are worth checking out as they can make quite an impression.

Natural stone tiles are yet another choice that can really add to the look of your fireplace and home. Slate, marble, and granite are just a few of what there is to choose from. Just remember that although they are extremely tough, it's always a smart idea to pick tiles that are rated for floor use if you are going to be using them for the hearth. That way they'll be sure to be able to handle the pounding that will be required. A PEI rating of four or five should be sufficient.

Before jumping out to buy the first beautiful tile they run into, homeowners should do some research. Researching the different types of tile, knowing how many tiles are needed; along with factoring in the different strengths that are needed can help homeowners to choose tile that will offer many years of enjoyment. A homeowner that is unfamiliar with installing tile may need to hire a professional, whom will likely be extremely helpful with picking out a tile that has the most to offer.

With all of the available options in design and the many choices in tile, it is easy for any homeowner to select a design that will likely become one of the best features in their home. People from across the globe enjoy the beauty and warmth that a fireplace offers. Whether having a wood or gas furnace, the numerous fireplace designs will enable any normal furnace turn into a beautiful focal point that demands attention.
