Types of floor tiles

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some tiles are wall specific, others are designed to be used for flooring, 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 safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where water will likely splash on them. Tiling on walls is usually done with thinner tiles, making them cost less. 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.

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

A number of different sorts of tiles are on offer so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile walls or floors, or even the work surfaces, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. A practical option when on a budget is to choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Durability is one of the main benefits of porcelain tiles resulting from how hard they are, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. A more luxurious option is natural stone tiles that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or can be smaller mosaic mat tiles that can cover walls or be used as borders. 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, whereas if you want a tile that looks good as a splash back, you could try metallic tiles.

Sunderland Tiles made from natural stone

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury and a time served Sunderland tiler can carry out the tiling work for you. 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. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from marking and discolouration, but in particular, travertine, marble and limestone tiles with porous surfaces should be treated. 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 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 whilst choosing modular packs of tiles give the opportunity to create tile designs with different sized pieces of stone.

Using tiles to decorate your home

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 you can also use them to decorate fire places or to make splash backs. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which mopping and sweeping can clean with ease and rugs can add warmth. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. Therefore many families with kids and/or pets often opt for tiling on their floors. Another room commonly tiled is a conservatory, because they are cool under foot in warm weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.
