Different tiles for floors

Although there are many different types of tiles, some tile ranges are specifically for walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, whilst either wall or floor surfaces can be decorated with other tile ranges. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, to make them practical for use in utility rooms, kitchens and bathrooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you're decorating.

Kitchen tiles

There are many different types of tiles so when you're refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the work surfaces, floors and walls, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. A practical option when on a budget is to choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you could try natural stone which are available in many different sizes, 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 to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or walls 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, whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Milton Keynes

Many types of natural stone tiles are available that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Milton Keynes tiler. Bathroom and en suite decor can be transformed with the use of filled and honed travertine tiles, whereas kitchens are commonly tiled with unfilled travertine because the amount of water contact is less. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from marking and discolouration, but in particular, travertine, marble and limestone tiles with porous surfaces should be treated. Increased protection can be provided through application of further coats of sealant each year. Slate is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors that can be smooth or riven in texture and finish, and offers many colour options from multicoloured to flat black or grey. You can choose natural stone tiles in a large number of different sizes or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.

Choosing the best type of tile

• Budget ceramic wall and floor tiles
• Handmade ceramic tiles
• Durable porcelain floor tiles
• Cream and brown travertine tiles
• Border mosaics on mesh backing
• Terracotta quarry tiles
• Non-slip tiles for floors with textured surfaces
• Metal wall tiles
• Textured black slate flooring
• Recycled glass eco tiles

Different rooms where tiles can be used

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, and they can also be used to decorate work surfaces and create splash backs. Hallways in Victorian homes are often covered with tiles, which are easy to sweep clean and can be covered with rugs. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled as are utility room walls and floors, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Sun rooms and conservatories are also decorated frequently with tiles, due to their cool surface during hot weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.
