Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile floors, walls or to create splash backs, choosing the most appropriate tiles for your tiling job is essential. A practical option when on a budget is to choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, which are available in many different sizes, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and both are available in slate and travertine, with the variety of colours providing an attractive finish. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, or for splash backs with a difference, try metallic tiles which look good in a brushed finish.

Professional Plymouth tiling services

Tilers in Plymouth offer a number of services, from covering underfloor heating systems with floor tiles, which can either be piped or an electric mat, to clearing away old wall and floor tiles and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls to enable them to retile surfaces with stone, ceramic or porcelain tiles.

Using tiles to decorate your home

Tiles provide hard wearing durability and are easy to clean, as well as being practical wall covering and flooring materials, 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 can easily be mopped or swept and rugs can be used to cover them if you wish. Kitchen and bathrooms are frequently decorated with tiles, as are utility room walls and floors, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, due to them staying cooler even in the heat of summer and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.

Choosing natural stone tile products Plymouth

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury and an experienced Plymouth tiler can decorate your surfaces with them. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, 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 affected by discolouration or stains, 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. A further tile choice that is popular is slate which floors and walls can be decorated with, and that can be smooth or riven in texture and finish, and offers many colour options from multicoloured to flat black or grey. Tiles are available in many different sizes whilst choosing modular packs of tiles give the opportunity to create tile designs with different sized pieces of stone.

Different tiles for floors

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, and there are other tiles that can be used for walls and floors. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, making them a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. Tiling on walls is usually done with thinner tiles, making them cost less. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Tile retailers and outlets will usually have tiles marked up so you don't end up with the wrong sort of tiles for your floors or walls.
