Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens
There are many different types of tiles so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile walls or floors, or even the work surfaces, you'll need to select the best type of tiles. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be a good choice if you're on a budget. Durability is one of the main benefits of porcelain tiles resulting from how hard they are, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you could try natural stone that can be purchased from tile specialists in a number of different sizes, and both square and rectangle shapes, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Another option is modular tile sets which look attractive as flooring but can also be used as wall tiles, and these tend to be available in travertine and slate most commonly. 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.
Different types of natural stone tiles for Kilmarnock
A range of different natural stone tiles are available to choose from that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Kilmarnock. Filled and honed travertine is popular for use in shower rooms and bathrooms, 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 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. Natural stone tiles can be purchased in various sizes or there are options to use modular tile packs that give a variety of tile sizes to create attractive designs.

Rooms that can benefit from tiling
When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material suited to being laid on either floors or walls, and they can also be used to decorate work surfaces and create splash backs. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, as with floors and walls in utility rooms, because tiles offer a waterproof and hygienic solution. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Another room commonly tiled is a conservatory, 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.

Tiles suitable for floors
Although there are many different types of tiles, some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, others are specifically for use on floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. Tiles for walls don't need to be as thick so are often cheaper. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Signage and point of sales in DIY superstores and tile retailers are usually present to indicate what type of tiles you are looking at so you know whether they are for walls or floors.
