The tiling in any part of your hotel needs to be high quality, professionally installed, and well designed. But for the foyer or entrance, it’s even more important to get this right. If you want to make a great first impression, your foyer tiling needs to be carefully selected. But what are the important considerations when tiling a hotel foyer? And how can you make the right choices for your hotel?
What are the important considerations when tiling a hotel foyer?
There are a number of important considerations to take into account when tiling a hotel foyer. These include:
- Choosing tiles that have an anti-slip finish
- Considering the maintenance requirements
- The colour and style of the tiles
Choosing anti-slip tiles for a hotel foyer
Safety is paramount in any public space, and hotel foyers are no exception. Since foyers are subject to varying conditions, including wet weather and spills, selecting anti-slip tiles is a critical consideration. Anti-slip tiles are designed to prevent accidents, making them ideal for areas where guests are constantly moving, often with luggage. Not only will this help keep your guests and hotel staff safe, it will also help your hotel meet Health and Safety regulations too.
Anti-slip tiles are available in a range of design options, colours and finishes. This means that you can choose the option that best aligns with your hotel branding and the interior design, without compromising on safety.
When tiling a hotel foyer you should consider the maintenance requirements
Another important consideration to take into account is the maintenance requirements for the tiles you choose. For any hotel, it’s important that your foyer is clean, tidy, and well-presented, to give the best possible first impression of your hotel at all times. As a result, when choosing tiles for this space, it’s important to consider the future maintenance tasks and requirements that will be involved. For example, light coloured tiles can show all the dirt, stains and any chips or damage more noticeably than darker coloured tiles, and as such, they may need to be cleaned more frequently.
Some important factors to consider will include:
- Stain, scuff and scratch resistant tiles
- Grout colour and type
- Waterproof/water resistant materials
The colour and style options
The hotel foyer is often the first part of the inside of your hotel that guests will see. As such, any tiles that you choose should be selected to give a fantastic first impression, reflecting the branding of your hotel, and complementing your interior design.
Neutral tones, including beiges, greys, whites, and browns are a popular option, and you can take this one step further by choosing timber or stone effect tiles for a truly natural look. At the same, if your hotel has a particular colour scheme, bolder colours can be used to emphasise and reflect this.
For a luxurious look, marble effect tiles can be the perfect choice. These have the visual effect and texture of real marble, but they are also naturally waterproof and hardwearing, making them the perfect choice for hotel foyer flooring.
