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 you can also use them to decorate fire places or to make splash backs. Minton tiled floors can often be found in hallways of Victorian properties, 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, tiled floors are popular for families with pets and children. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles due to their cool surface during hot weather and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.
Different sorts of floor tiles
Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some tile ranges are specifically for walls, others are floor tile ranges, 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, 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. Another difference to floor tiles is that wall tiles are often combined with a border. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you're decorating.

- Durable porcelain floor tiles

- Brushed chrome metal tiles
- Modular unfilled travertine

Different types of natural stone tiles for Norwich
Many types of natural stone tiles are available that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles and an experienced Norwich tiler can decorate your surfaces with them. Bathroom and en suite decor can be transformed with the use of filled and honed travertine tiles, whilst the unfilled versions of the stone tiles are popular in kitchens where splashing is less. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from marking and discolouration, 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 is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors that can be purchased in various colours and usually have riven textures. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.
Tiles suited to use in kitchens
A number of different sorts of tiles are on offer so if you're looking to retile your kitchen flooring and walls, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. If you're on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or mesh backed travertine mosaics can be used to create borders or part tile walls. 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. Relief patterns and gloss or matt finishes are available in handmade tiles which can add luxury to a kitchen, or there are metallic tiles, often available in mosaic tile sheets, which can provide a clean fresh look and work well as splash backs.

Tiling Services Offered for Norwich
A number of services are provided by tilers in Norwich, from laying tiled floors over underfloor heating, which can either be electrically powered or warmed using hot water, to removal of tiles from floors and walls and using floor leveller or plaster to provide flat surfaces on walls and floors for retiling with new ceramic, porcelain or natural stone tiles. Products needed to carry out your tiling work can be sourced by a tiling expert, such as specialist adhesives and tile grout, and advice can also be provided about how to choose the best adhesion products for your tiling project.
