Kitchen tiles

A vast range of tile types are available so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile work surfaces, floors and walls, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be a good choice if you're on a budget. If you want exceptional durability, porcelain can meet your needs because it is so hard, 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 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. A further possibility that can look effective on walls and floors is modular tile sets and both are available in slate and travertine, with the variety of colours providing an attractive finish. 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.

• Modular unfilled travertine
• Handmade ceramic tiles
• Mosaic border tiles
• Ceramic bathroom wall tiles
• Textured black slate flooring

Kirkcaldy Tiles made from natural stone

Many types of natural stone tiles are available which are luxurious wall and floor tile options and a time served Kirkcaldy tiler can carry out the tiling work for you. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whilst the unfilled versions of the stone tiles are popular in kitchens where splashing is less. Travertine tiles treated with stone sealant are protected from being marked or discolouring, but in particular, travertine, marble and limestone tiles with porous surfaces should be treated. Sealant should also be reapplied after around 12 months to ensure the surface remains protected. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Natural stone tiles can be purchased in various sizes whilst tile designs can be created using modular tile packs.

Types of floor tiles

Although there are many different types of tiles, some are more suited to use on walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where they'll get splashed. You don't need as thick tiles on walls so prices are usually lower than floor tiles. Another difference to floor tiles is that wall tiles are often combined with a border. Tile retailers and outlets will usually have tiles marked up so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.
