Kitchen tiles

There is a number of tile types available so if you're looking to retile your kitchen work tops, walls or flooring, selecting the best tiles on the market is necessary. Choosing porcelain or ceramic tiles can be practical when on a budget. Porcelain tiles are hard wearing because they are incredibly hard, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, 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 choose between various coloured slate and travertine products. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.

Tiling services in Halifax

When refurbishing a property and you want to find Halifax a trustable tiler, you want to be confident that the tradesperson you hire is reliable. Whether you need porcelain tiles or ceramic tiles for a wet room, shower room or downstairs loo, or you've chosen natural stone floor tiles like slate, limestone or honed and filled travertine, you can get in touch with a reputable tiling specialist in Halifax when you send your job details through on the simple enquiry form. From imparting knowledgeable advice about the best type of grout and tile adhesive to use, to neatening edges with tile borders and trims and waterproofing baths and shower trays by fitting seal strips, tiling over boxed in utility room and kitchen pipes to creating tiled designs with multiple types of tiles, a local tiling specialist can provide the solution.

Tiles suitable for floors

There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, to make them practical for use in utility rooms, kitchens and bathrooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. Many people choose border tiles to break up tiling on walls. Tiles are usually marked up in a DIY store or tile shop so you don't end up with the wrong sort of tiles for your floors or walls.

Services offered by Halifax tilers

Tilers in Halifax provide a variety of services, from tiling over underfloor heating systems, either installed as electric mat or piped hot water systems, to clearing away old wall and floor tiles and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls prior to tiling with new porcelain, stone or ceramic tiles. Tiling products can also be supplied by a professional tiler, which includes coloured grout and flexible adhesive products, and they can also offer advice about the best products for your tiling project. Once walls have been tiled, treatments to finish the surfaces of the tiles can be used, 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 Halifax can provide which will maintain the surface of your tiles effectively.

Natural stone tiles Halifax

Natural stone tile ranges offer a large amount of choice of tile types that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury and that can be applied by an experienced Halifax tiler. Filled and honed travertine is popular for use in shower rooms and bathrooms, whilst the unfilled versions of the stone tiles are popular in kitchens where splashing 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. It is also important to reseal tiles annually so the protection remains. Another natural stone tile type that is popular is slate, that can be purchased in various colours and usually have riven textures. Tiles are available in many different sizes whilst tile designs can be created using modular tile packs.

Laying tiles in your home

If you choose tiles, you will have products that can easily be kept clean and that are suitable for use on walls and floors, 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 easily be mopped or swept and rugs can be used to cover them if you wish. Tiled kitchens and bathrooms are commonplace, and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, as a result of them being waterproof and hygienic. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.
