Different sorts of floor tiles

Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, 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, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Many people choose border tiles to break up tiling on walls. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you don't end up with the wrong sort of tiles for your floors or walls.

Different tile types to choose from

• Metal wall tiles
• Bathroom wall ceramic tiles
• Floor and wall tiles made from porcelain
• Coloured glass tiles
• Textured non-slip floor tiles
• Mesh backed mosaics
• Terracotta quarry tiles
• Luxury handmade ceramic wall tiles
• Textured black slate flooring
• Anatolian travertine wall tiles

Stockport tiling services

If you're making home improvements and want to find Stockport a quality tiler, you want to be confident that the tradesperson you hire is reliable. Whether you want hard wearing porcelain tiles or cheap ceramic tiles for a downstairs toilet, shower room or kitchen, or you're replacing flooring with natural stone tiling products like travertine or limestone, you can get in touch with a reputable tiling specialist in Stockport when you submit an enquiry form with your job information. From providing advice about the best type of grout and adhesive to use, to edging tiles with chrome, brass or white trim and waterproofing baths and shower trays by fitting seal strips, boxing in ugly pipework in bathrooms and kitchens to creating tiled designs with multiple types of tiles, a professional local tiler can meet your needs.

Laying tiles in your home

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material suited to being laid on either floors or walls, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Minton tiled floors can often be found in hallways of Victorian properties, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled as are utility room walls and floors, which is down to them being hygienic and waterproof. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.

Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're looking to retile your kitchen work tops, walls or flooring, you'll need to select the best type of tiles. If you're on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. If you want exceptional durability, porcelain can meet your needs because it is so hard, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, that can be purchased from tile specialists in a number of different sizes, and both square and rectangle shapes, or mosaic tiles on a mat. 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, or there are metallic tiles, often available in mosaic tile sheets, which can provide a clean fresh look and work well as splash backs.

Stockport tilers are offering professional services

A number of services are provided by tilers in Stockport, from covering underfloor heating systems with floor tiles, which can be electrically powered or heated through hot water in pipes, to removal of tiles from floors and walls and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls prior to tiling with new porcelain, stone or ceramic tiles. Accessories and tiling products are also able to be provided by professional tilers, 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. If the tiling work is complete, treatments to finish the surfaces of the tiles can be used, like painting coats of tile sealant onto surfaces of stone tiles. This will protect tiles from discolouring and marking and an experienced tiler can provide this service each year to leave the surface of your tiles protected and looking beautiful for years.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Stockport

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles that offer a luxurious finish to a wall or floor in your home and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Stockport tiler. 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. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from being marked or discolouring, however tumbled marble and limestone or porous travertine are the most important tile surfaces to seal. Sealant should also be reapplied after around 12 months to ensure the surface remains protected. 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. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes whilst choosing modular packs of tiles give the opportunity to create tile designs with different sized pieces of stone.
