Suitable tiles for flooring

Although there are many different types of tiles, some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, to make them practical for use in utility rooms, kitchens and bathrooms where they'll get splashed. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you don't end up with the wrong sort of tiles for your floors or walls.

Rooms that can benefit from tiling

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, and they can also be used to decorate work surfaces and create splash backs. Hallways in Victorian homes are often covered with tiles, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled as are utility room walls and floors, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. Therefore many people with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, because they are cool under foot in warm weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Tile options Brighton: Made from natural stone

Many types of natural stone tiles are available that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Brighton tiler. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from being affected by discolouration or stains, but in particular, travertine, marble and limestone tiles with porous surfaces should be treated. Reapplying the sealant each year will make sure the tile surfaces remain protected. Slate is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors which you can purchase from tile suppliers in a variety of colours and with different textures, from smooth to riven surfaces. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.

Kitchen tiles

There are many different types of tiles so if you want to tile your kitchen work surfaces, floors and walls, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. If you're on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you could try natural stone which are available in many different sizes, or can be smaller mosaic mat tiles that can cover walls or be used as borders. Modular sets of tiles are effective wall decor options and both are available in slate and travertine, with the variety of colours providing an attractive finish. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, or there are metallic tiles, often available in mosaic tile sheets, which can provide a clean fresh look and work well as splash backs.
