Different tiles for floors

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, making them a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. Tiling on walls is usually done with thinner tiles, making them cost less. Many people choose border tiles to break up tiling on walls. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.

Kitchen tiles

A number of different sorts of tiles are on offer so if you're looking to retile your kitchen work surfaces, floors and walls, choosing the most appropriate tiles for your tiling job is essential. If you're on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, however you can choose from many tile types, patterns and designs. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, which can either be full size tiles, smaller square tiles or mesh backed travertine mosaics can be used to create borders or part tile walls. Another option to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or walls and both are available in slate and travertine, with the variety of colours providing an attractive finish. Relief patterns and gloss or matt finishes are available in handmade tiles which can add luxury to a kitchen, or there are metallic tiles, often available in mosaic tile sheets, which can provide a clean fresh look and work well as splash backs.

Laying tiles in your home

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Minton tiled floors can often be found in hallways of Victorian properties, which can easily be mopped or swept and rugs can be used to cover them if you wish. Tiled walls and floors in bathrooms and kitchens are commonplace, as are utility room walls and floors, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.

Choosing natural stone tile products Colchester

Natural stone tile ranges offer a large amount of choice of tile types that are suited to use as luxurious floor and wall tiles and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Colchester tiler. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whilst the unfilled versions of the stone tiles are popular in kitchens where splashing is less. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from being marked or discolouring, however tumbled marble and limestone or porous travertine are the most important tile surfaces to seal. Sealant should also be reapplied after around 12 months to ensure the surface remains protected. A further tile choice that is popular is slate which floors and walls can be decorated with, and that can be purchased in various colours and usually have riven textures. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.
