Decorating your house with tiles

Tiles provide hard wearing durability and are easy to clean, as well as being practical for flooring and wall coverings, and they also make attractive work tops and fire surrounds. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which mopping and sweeping can clean with ease and rugs can add warmth. Tiled kitchens and bathrooms are commonplace, and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. Therefore many families with kids and/or pets often opt for tiling on their floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, due to their cool surface during hot weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.

Tile options Dartford: Made from natural stone

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury and a time served Dartford tiler can carry out the tiling work for you. Bathroom and en suite decor can be transformed with the use of filled and honed travertine tiles, whereas kitchens are commonly tiled with unfilled travertine because the amount of water contact is less. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from being marked or discolouring, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. Reapplying the sealant each year will make sure the tile surfaces remain protected. Slate tiles are another popular natural stone tile type 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 there are options to use modular tile packs that give a variety of tile sizes to create attractive designs.

Types of floor tiles

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some tiles are wall specific, others are designed to be used for flooring, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Tiles for floors are usually textured to prevent people slipping on them, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where water will likely splash on them. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. Another difference to floor tiles is that wall tiles are often combined with a border. Tile retailers and outlets will usually have tiles marked up so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you're decorating.

Professional Dartford tiling services

Tilers in Dartford provide a variety of services, from laying tiled floors over underfloor heating, which can either be piped or an electric mat, to removal of tiles from floors and walls as well as using floor levelling compounds and plaster to level walls and floors prior to tiling with new porcelain, stone or ceramic tiles. Accessories and tiling products are also able to be provided by professional tilers, such as grout and adhesive, and advice can also be provided about how to choose the best adhesion products for your tiling project. Once walls have been tiled, you can use tile finishing products such as treating natural stone tiles with sealant. Applying sealant to tiles will prevent discolouration and staining and every year you can receive a quality service from Dartford tilers to ensure your tiles look attractive for many years.

Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

A number of different sorts of tiles are on offer so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile floors, walls or to create splash backs, selecting the best tiles on the market is necessary. Choosing porcelain or ceramic tiles can be practical when on a budget. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, which are available in many different sizes, or can be smaller mosaic mat tiles that can cover walls or be used as borders. Another option to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or walls and there is a varied range of colours in both travertine and slate tiles you could choose between. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, whereas if you want a tile that looks good as a splash back, you could try metallic tiles.
