Suitable tiles for flooring

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some tile ranges are specifically for walls, others are specifically for use on floors, 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 water splashing can occur. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Tile retailers and outlets will usually have tiles marked up so you know whether they are for walls or floors.

Natural stone tiles Falkirk

Natural stone tile ranges offer a large amount of choice of tile types that are suited to use as luxurious floor and wall tiles work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Falkirk. En suites and bathrooms are frequently decorated in filled and honed travertine tiles, 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 discolouring or being marked, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, 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 there are options to use modular tile packs that give a variety of tile sizes to create attractive designs.

Different tile types to choose from

• Mosaic tiles in brushed chrome
• Porcelain wall tiles
• Border tiles with mesh backed mosaics
• Handmade luxury kitchen tiles made from ceramic
• Non-slip textured floor tiles
• Terracotta kitchen floor tiles
• Modular unfilled travertine
• Natural slate floor tiles
• Coloured glass tiles
• Cheap ceramic tiles

Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you want to tile your kitchen work surfaces, floors and walls, 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. 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. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, which can either be full size tiles, smaller square tiles or you could choose mosaics on mesh backing which either look good covering walls or can break up larger tiles as a border. Another option is modular tile sets which look attractive as flooring but can also be used as wall tiles, and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. Handmade tiles with designs such as flora and fauna can add a bit of individuality to a kitchen whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Laying tiles in your home

If you choose tiles, you will have products that can easily be kept clean and that are practical for flooring and wall coverings, and you can also create tiled fire surrounds and work surfaces that look attractive. Hallways in Victorian homes are often covered with tiles, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. Therefore many people with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Sun rooms and conservatories are also decorated frequently with tiles, due to their cool surface during hot weather and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.
