7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago
Below is my elevation design, we want a wooden tile that would look just like HPL cladding as HPL costs 4 times than tiles.
Can anyone suggest a tile , color/shade of tile that we should choose. It should look like cladding.

No, i just heard it from you just now.
I just want the wood look, wherever we see the houses that we like HPL cladding is used but as those are very expensive so we thought we would use Tiles that looks as close to HPL but we are very confused that what shade color to choose. We want this kind of look. can you suggest any tile shade brand to choose?

Comments (12)I think the marble naysayers have jumped on the bandwagon without really living with the stone. I have statuary in my bathrooms and love it. Most stains can be removed with a simple baking soda and water poultice. Acid etching is harder to deal with since it removes the polished surface, but its part of having a living stone in your home. If it becomes too bad, you can have it repolished. With a darker stone, you won't have as many issues as a white marble. In order to really know if you can live with it, I suggest you get a small sample of the stone and do some tests. Here is an example. http://www.dohiy.com/2013/04/21/marble-countertops-the-post-acid-test/ Please note that she used bleach and oxyclean to clean the stone after her test. Stay away from both since they can etch the stone just as much as an acidic food. Instead, clean with a ph neutral cleaner like isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), and for heavy stains, the baking soda poultice mentioned above. You have to remember that marble has been used for centuries as flooring, table tops, countertops, etc. throughout the world and most of these installations are still here and aren't stained and etched to the point that it has been ripped out and replaced. Just think about all of he luxury hotels in Europe and how many times they have been exposed to Hangover type guests without any damage....See Morewant some solution for ceiling
Comments (3)Place the cabinet against a different wall and not beneath that beam? There's no need for a false ceiling, instead you could do a simple cornice to soften and enliven the hard line where walls meet ceiling. You could apply the same cornice to the short, hard line where the lower side of the beam meets either wall. Keep it simple. You could even apply cornice ONLY to where the lower edge of the beam meets the walls. It softens the heavy horizontal impression, allowing it to pretend to be a very slight arch. If you're going to repaint, consider using slightly different shades for wall and ceiling. An alternate to the cornice is a shallow horizontal ledge to hold LED cove uplighting along all the walls, at the same height as the lower edge of the beam. If you do this in wood, clad the lower surface of the beam to make a feature of it and to match the cove lighting ledges. Keep the design simple. If you do none of these things, explore Houzz for pleasing and simple lighting solutions to brighten up the room. Just a few ideas......See MoreSugget elevatation colour

According to me either HPL wooden cladding with white will suit this elevation design as mentioned above by Pravin ji or another option can be use of dark grey textured exterior wall paint for the groves with white and wooden ceiling.
