Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

There are many different types of tiles so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile work surfaces, floors and walls, selecting the best tiles on the market is necessary. 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, however both tile types come in many designs and colours. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, that can be purchased from tile specialists in a number of different sizes, and both square and rectangle shapes, or you could choose mosaics on mesh backing which either look good covering walls or can break up larger tiles as a border. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. Handmade tiles with designs such as flora and fauna can add a bit of individuality to a kitchen whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Tile options Swansea: 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 they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Swansea tiler. En suites and bathrooms are frequently decorated in filled and honed travertine tiles, whereas kitchens are commonly tiled with unfilled travertine because the amount of water contact is less. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from marking and discolouration, however tumbled marble and limestone or porous travertine are the most important tile surfaces to seal. 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 provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Natural stone tiles can be purchased in various sizes whilst tile designs can be created using modular tile packs.

Decorating your house with tiles

A hard wearing flooring option is tiles, which are suitable for use on walls and floors, and they also make attractive work tops and fire surrounds. Victorian properties frequently have tiled floors with decorative Minton tiles, 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. Sun rooms and conservatories are also decorated frequently with tiles, due to them staying cooler even in the heat of summer and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Suitable tiles for flooring

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, 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, making them a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms where water splashing can occur. 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. Signage and point of sales in DIY superstores and tile retailers are usually present to indicate what type of tiles you are looking at so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.

Tiling products required to complete tiling jobs can be supplied by specialist tilers, including rapid dry adhesives and tile grout, and they can give advice about the best tile brands and products to select. If the tiling work is complete, you can add finishing touches such as tile sealant, which is usually applied to natural stone tiles.
