Dumfries tilers are offering professional services

A number of services are provided by tilers in Dumfries, from tiling over underfloor heating systems, which can be electrically powered or heated through hot water in pipes, to removing old wall and floor tiles as well as using floor levelling compounds and plaster to level walls and floors for retiling with new ceramic, porcelain or natural stone tiles. Any tiling products required to tile your property can be supplied by a tiling professional, which includes coloured grout and flexible adhesive products, and advice can also be provided about how to choose the best adhesion products for your tiling project.

Types of floor tiles

There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some are more suited to use on walls, others are floor tile ranges, whilst either wall or floor surfaces can be decorated with other tile ranges. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. Tiling on walls is usually done with thinner tiles, making them cost less. Another difference to floor tiles is that wall tiles are often combined with a border. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you're decorating.

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so when you're planning to tile a kitchen walls or floors, or even the work surfaces, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. If you're on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are hard wearing because they are incredibly hard, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, which could be 30.5cm square up to 61 x 40.6cmm, or you could choose mosaics on mesh backing which either look good covering walls or can break up larger tiles as a border. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and 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, whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Natural stone tiles Dumfries

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles which are luxurious wall and floor tile options and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Dumfries tiler. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, however kitchens walls are less likely to get splashed so tend to be tiled with unfilled travertine. Travertine tiles treated with stone sealant are protected from marking and discolouration, 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. Slate is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors 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.

Using tiles to decorate your home

Victorian properties frequently have tiled floors with decorative Minton tiles, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Kitchen and bathrooms are frequently decorated with tiles, and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Another room commonly tiled is a conservatory, because they are cool under foot in warm weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.
