Products needed to carry out your tiling work can be sourced by a tiling expert, which includes coloured grout and flexible adhesive products, and they can provide advice on the best type of adhesion products for your particular tiling task.

Rooms that can benefit from tiling

If you choose tiles, you will have products that can easily be kept clean and that are well suited to application on both floors and walls, and they also make attractive work tops and fire surrounds. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which are easy to sweep clean and can be covered with rugs. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled as with floors and walls in utility rooms, which is down to them being hygienic and waterproof. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Another room commonly tiled is a conservatory, due to their cool surface during hot weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

A number of different sorts of tiles are on offer so when you're refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the walls or floors, or even the work surfaces, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be a good choice if you're on a budget. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, 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, which could be 30.5cm square up to 61 x 40.6cmm, or mesh backed travertine mosaics can be used to create borders or part tile walls. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and you can choose between various coloured slate and travertine products. Relief patterns and gloss or matt finishes are available in handmade tiles which can add luxury to a kitchen, whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Types of floor tiles

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some are more suited to use on walls, others are floor tile ranges, 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. Tiles for walls don't need to be as thick so are often cheaper. 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 don't purchase the wrong sort of tiles for your floors and walls.

Oxford Tiles made from natural stone

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles which are luxurious wall and floor tile options and an experienced Oxford tiler can decorate your surfaces with them. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from marking and discolouration, but the most important natural stone tiles to seal are porous marble, travertine or limestone. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate tiles are another popular natural stone tile type which you can purchase from tile suppliers in a variety of colours and with different textures, from smooth to riven surfaces. Natural stone tiles can be purchased in various sizes or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.
