Tiles suitable for floors

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some tiles are wall specific, others are designed to be used for flooring, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, to make them practical for use in utility rooms, 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. Another difference to floor tiles is that wall tiles are often combined with a border. Tiles are usually marked up in a DIY store or tile shop so you don't purchase the wrong sort of tiles for your floors and walls.

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

There are many different types of tiles so when you're refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the flooring and walls, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. When you're on a budget, porcelain or ceramic tiles can be a practical option. Porcelain tiles are hard wearing because they are incredibly hard, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, which are available in many different sizes, or can be smaller mosaic mat tiles that can cover walls or be used as borders. A further possibility that can look effective on walls and floors is modular tile sets and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. For a rustic kitchen or a feature wall look, handmade tiles can look fantastic with relief patterns and individual surface finishes, whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Rooms that can benefit from tiling

If you choose tiles, you will have products that can easily be kept clean and that are suitable for use on walls and floors, and you can also create tiled fire surrounds and work surfaces that look attractive. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Tiled walls and floors in bathrooms and kitchens are commonplace, and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, because tiles offer a waterproof and hygienic solution. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Tiles are also frequently used for flooring in conservatories due to their cool surface during hot weather and underfloor heating can be installed to heat them in winter.

Choosing the best type of tile

• Durable porcelain floor tiles
• Mosaic sheet glass tiles
• Mosaic wall tiles backed with mesh
• Budget tiles made from ceramic
• Brushed chrome metal tiles
• Natural slate floor tiles
• Luxury handmade tiles with raised designs
• Non-slip textured floor tiles
• Terracotta quarry tiles
• Filled and honed travertine

Natural stone tiles Telford

Natural stone tile ranges offer a large amount of choice of tile types that are suited to use as luxurious floor and wall tiles and that can be applied by an experienced Telford tiler. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whereas kitchens are commonly tiled with unfilled travertine because the amount of water contact is less. Surfaces of travertine tiles that are treated with sealant will be prevented from marking and discolouration, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. It is also important to reseal tiles annually so the protection remains. Another natural stone tile type that is popular is slate, that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Natural stone tiles can be purchased in various sizes or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.
