Different types of natural stone tiles for Enfield

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Enfield tiler. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whilst unfilled travertine is more suited to areas where it will be exposed to less water and splashing. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from being marked or discolouring, but the most important natural stone tiles to seal are porous marble, travertine or limestone. It is also important to reseal tiles annually so the protection remains. A further tile choice that is popular is slate which floors and walls can be decorated with, and which usually has a riven texture and can be found in different colours. You can choose natural stone tiles in a large number of different sizes or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.

Different tiles for floors

There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some tiles are wall specific, others are specifically for use on floors, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. To prevent people slipping on floor tiles, they usually have textured surfaces, making them a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms where they'll get splashed. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Many people choose border tiles to break up tiling on walls. 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.

Different tile types to choose from

• Textured non-slip floor tiles
• Natural slate floor tiles
• Quarry tiles
• Anatolian travertine wall tiles
• Mosaic sheet glass tiles
• Patterned porcelain tiles
• Ceramic bathroom wall tiles
• Handmade ceramic tiles
• Stainless steel mosaic tiles
• Mesh backed mosaics

Kitchen tiles

There are many different types of tiles so if you want to tile your kitchen floors, walls or to create splash backs, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. A practical option when on a budget is to choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Durability is one of the main benefits of porcelain tiles resulting from how hard they are, however both tile types come in many designs and colours. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or you could choose mosaics on mesh backing which either look good covering walls or can break up larger tiles as a border. Modular sets of tiles are effective wall decor options and these tend to be available in travertine and slate most commonly. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, or there are metallic tiles, often available in mosaic tile sheets, which can provide a clean fresh look and work well as splash backs.
