Natural stone tiles Canterbury

Many types of natural stone tiles are available that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Canterbury. Filled and honed travertine is popular for use in shower rooms and bathrooms, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from staining or discolouring, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, which usually has a riven texture and can be found in different colours. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.

Different tile types to choose from

• Floor tiles with non-slip textures
• Border tiles with mesh backed mosaics
• Floor and wall tiles made from porcelain
• Recycled glass eco tiles
• Reclaimed terracotta tiles
• Mosaic tiles in brushed chrome
• Luxury handmade tiles with raised designs
• Modular slate tile packs
• Honed and filled travertine linear mosaic tiles
• Cheap ceramic tiles

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile walls or floors, or even the work surfaces, 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. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, which could be 30.5cm square up to 61 x 40.6cmm, 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.

Different tiles for floors

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some are more suited to use on walls, others are specifically for use on floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where water splashing can occur. You don't need as thick tiles on walls so prices are usually lower than floor tiles. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. DIY shops and tile outlets usually have signs in place to indicate what type of tiles you're looking at so you know whether they are for walls or floors.
