Natural stone tiles Ilford

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles which are luxurious wall and floor tile options and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Ilford tiler. 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. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from being affected by discolouration or stains, but in particular, travertine, marble and limestone tiles with porous surfaces should be treated. Reapplying the sealant each year will make sure the tile surfaces remain protected. A further tile choice that is popular is slate which floors and walls can be decorated with, and that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.

Rooms that can benefit from tiling

A hard wearing flooring option is tiles, which are suited to being laid on either floors or walls, and they also make attractive work tops and fire surrounds. Victorian properties frequently have tiled floors with decorative Minton tiles, which are easy to sweep clean and can be covered with rugs. Tiled walls and floors in bathrooms and kitchens are commonplace, as with floors and walls in utility rooms, because tiles offer a waterproof and hygienic solution. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Sun rooms and conservatories are also decorated frequently with tiles, because they are cool under foot in warm weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Ilford tilers are offering professional services

There is a range of services that tilers in Ilford provide, from tiling on top of underfloor heating, which is either powered by electric mats or with piped hot water, to chipping away old tiles from walls and floors as well as using floor levelling compounds and plaster to level walls and floors for retiling with new ceramic, porcelain or natural stone tiles. Any tiling products required to tile your property can be supplied by a tiling professional, including rapid dry adhesives and tile grout, in addition to being able to give product advice about the most suitable brand for your tiling work. If your tiles have been attached to your walls and floors, you can add finishing touches such as tile sealant, which is usually applied to natural stone tiles. You can prevent tile discolouration and staining with the application of sealant and every year you can receive a quality service from Ilford tilers therefore effectively maintaining that freshly tiled look in your kitchen or bathroom.

Different sorts of floor tiles

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some are more suited to use on walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, and there are other tiles that can be used for walls and floors. To prevent people slipping on floor tiles, they usually have textured surfaces, which makes them practical and safe flooring options in bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. 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 you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.

Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

There are many different types of tiles so when you're refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the work tops, walls or flooring, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. If you're on a budget, you could 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. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, which could be 30.5cm square up to 61 x 40.6cmm, or you could choose mosaics on mesh backing which either look good covering walls or can break up larger tiles as a border. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and you can choose between various coloured slate and travertine products. 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.
