Tile options Gloucester: 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 they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Gloucester tiler. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Surfaces of travertine tiles that are treated with sealant will be prevented from being marked or discolouring, but the most important natural stone tiles to seal are porous marble, travertine or limestone. Increased protection can be provided through application of further coats of sealant each year. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Tiles are available in many different sizes or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.

Different types of kitchen tiles

There is a number of tile types available 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. Choosing porcelain or ceramic tiles can be practical when on a budget. If you want exceptional durability, porcelain can meet your needs because it is so hard, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, 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. For a rustic kitchen or a feature wall look, handmade tiles can look fantastic with relief patterns and individual surface finishes, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.

Gloucester services from tilers

Tilers in Gloucester provide a variety of services, from tiling over underfloor heating systems, which can either be electrically powered or warmed using hot water, to old floor and wall tile removal and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls before using natural stone, porcelain or ceramic tiles to redecorate surfaces. Products needed to carry out your tiling work can be sourced by a tiling expert, such as flexible adhesive and coloured grout, and advice can also be provided about how to choose the best adhesion products for your tiling project. When your walls are fully tiled, finishing touches can be added such as application of coats of sealant. Staining and discolouring of tile surfaces can be avoided by sealing tiles, and this is a service that knowledgeable tilers in Gloucester can provide to ensure your tiles look attractive for many years.

Tiles suitable for floors

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some tiles are wall specific, others are specifically for use on floors, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Tiles for floors are usually textured to prevent people slipping on them, which makes them practical and safe flooring options in bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms where water splashing can occur. You don't need as thick tiles on walls so prices are usually lower than floor tiles. A number of people also choose to combine wall tiles with a border positioned horizontally around 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.

Decorating your house with tiles

Tiles are an easy to clean and durable material practical for flooring and wall coverings, and you can also use them to decorate fire places or to make splash backs. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Tiled kitchens and bathrooms are commonplace, 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. Tiles are also frequently used for flooring in conservatories because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.
