Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're looking to retile your kitchen floors, walls or to create splash backs, you'll need to select the best type of tiles. If you're on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, which are available in many different sizes, or mosaic tiles on a mat. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.

Different sorts of floor tiles

Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some of them are designed only for walls, others are floor tile ranges, and there are other tiles that can be used for walls and floors. To prevent people slipping on floor tiles, they usually have textured surfaces, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where water splashing can occur. 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. Tile retailers and outlets will usually have tiles marked up so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.

Decorating your house with tiles

Tiles provide hard wearing durability and are easy to clean, as well as being suited to being laid on either floors or walls, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled as is often the case with utility room flooring and wall coverings, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, due to their cool surface during hot weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Tile options Croydon: Made from natural stone

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles which are luxurious wall and floor tile options work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Croydon. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, 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 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. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.

Tile types to choose from

• Border tiles with mesh backed mosaics
• Coloured glass tiles
• Durable porcelain floor tiles
• Textured non-slip floor tiles
• Metallic mosaic wall tiles
• Bathroom wall ceramic tiles
• Quarry tiles
• Modular unfilled travertine
• Luxury handmade ceramic wall tiles
• Textured black slate flooring
