Laying tiles in your home

Tiles are an easy to clean and durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, and you can also use them to decorate fire places or to make splash backs. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which mopping and sweeping can clean with ease and rugs can add warmth. 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. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Tiles are also frequently used for flooring in conservatories due to their cool surface during hot weather and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.

Different tile types to choose from

• Luxury handmade tiles with raised designs
• Anatolian travertine wall tiles
• Non-slip textured floor tiles
• Border tiles with mesh backed mosaics
• Mosaic sheet glass tiles
• Terracotta quarry tiles
• Porcelain tiles with patterns
• Stainless steel mosaic tiles
• Cheap ceramic tiles
• Textured black slate flooring

Different tiles for floors

Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, others are specifically for use on floors, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where water splashing can occur. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. A number of people also choose to combine wall tiles with a border positioned horizontally around 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.

Choosing natural stone tile products East London

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles that are suited to use as luxurious floor and wall tiles and that can be applied by an experienced East London tiler. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, 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 being marked or discolouring, however porous surfaces such as limestone, tumbled marble and unfilled travertine are particularly in need of sealing. Reapplying the sealant each year will make sure the tile surfaces remain protected. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, which you can purchase from tile suppliers in a variety of colours and with different textures, from smooth to riven surfaces. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.

Reputable tilers in East London

When you're renovating or redecorating a property and are in need of a recommended East London tiling expert, you want to know you can rely on the tradesman you're employing. Whether you're looking for tiles made from porcelain, which is hard wearing, for a downstairs toilet, shower room or kitchen, or natural stone tiles are being laid on your floor like slate, limestone or honed and filled travertine, you can get in touch with a reputable tiling specialist in East London when you send your job details through on the simple enquiry form. From advising about different types of adhesive and grout, to edging tiles with chrome, brass or white trim and using strips to seal along baths and showers, boxing in ugly pipework in bathrooms and kitchens to using multiple coloured tiles to create designs, a professional local tiler can meet your needs.

Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, 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. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, which can either be full size tiles, smaller square tiles or mosaic tiles on a mat. Another option to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or walls and you can choose between various coloured slate and travertine products. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.
