Cambridge services from tilers

Tilers in Cambridge provide a variety of services, from tiling on top of underfloor heating, either installed as electric mat or piped hot water systems, to removal of tiles from floors and walls and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls to enable them to retile surfaces with stone, ceramic or porcelain tiles. Tiling products can also be supplied by a professional tiler, including rapid dry adhesives and tile grout, and they can also offer advice about the best products for your tiling project. Once the tiling process is complete, you can use tile finishing products such as application of coats of sealant. You can prevent tile discolouration and staining with the application of sealant and is a service that a quality tiler can provide year on year therefore effectively maintaining that freshly tiled look in your kitchen or bathroom.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Cambridge

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Cambridge. Filled and honed travertine is popular for use in shower rooms and bathrooms, however kitchens walls are less likely to get splashed so tend to be tiled with unfilled travertine. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from staining or discolouring, however tumbled marble and limestone or porous travertine are the most important tile surfaces to seal. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Another natural stone tile type that is popular is slate, that can be smooth or riven in texture and finish, and offers many colour options from multicoloured to flat black or grey. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options whilst tile designs can be created using modular tile packs.

Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile work tops, walls or flooring, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. When you're on a budget, porcelain or ceramic tiles can be a practical option. Durability is one of the main benefits of porcelain tiles resulting from how hard they are, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, which are available in many different sizes, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Another option is modular tile sets which look attractive as flooring but can also be used as wall tiles, and these tend to be available in travertine and slate most commonly. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.

Tiles suitable for floors

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some of them are designed only for walls, others are specifically for use on floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where they'll get splashed. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. A number of people also choose to combine wall tiles with a border positioned horizontally around walls. Tiles are usually marked up in a DIY store or tile shop so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you're decorating.

Using tiles to decorate your home

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material suitable for use on walls and floors, and they can also be used to decorate work surfaces and create splash backs. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Tiled walls and floors in bathrooms and kitchens are commonplace, as is often the case with utility room flooring and wall coverings, as a result of them being waterproof and hygienic. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Sun rooms and conservatories are also decorated frequently with tiles, due to their cool surface during hot weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.
