Tiles suited to use in kitchens

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you want to tile your kitchen walls or floors, or even the work surfaces, 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. If you want exceptional durability, porcelain can meet your needs because it is so hard, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or you could choose mosaics on mesh backing which either look good covering walls or can break up larger tiles as a border. Another option to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or 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.

Finding Tonbridge tilers

When refurbishing a property and you need a rated tiler in Tonbridge, you want to be confident that the tradesperson you hire is reliable. Whether you're looking for tiles made from porcelain, which is hard wearing, for a kitchen, bathroom or utility room, or are retiling a floor with natural stone tiles like slate, limestone or honed and filled travertine, you can find tiling companies in Tonbridge with ease when you send your job details through on the simple enquiry form. From offering grout and adhesive advice to customers, to neatening edges with tile borders and trims and waterproofing baths and shower trays by fitting seal strips, using plywood to box in unattractive kitchen and bathroom pipes to creating mosaic tiled designs, a local tiling specialist can provide the solution.

Which sort of tiles to choose

Suitable tiles for flooring

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some tiles are wall specific, others are floor tile ranges, whilst either wall or floor surfaces can be decorated with other tile ranges. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. You don't need as thick tiles on walls so prices are usually lower than floor tiles. 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 know whether they are for walls or floors.

Services tilers in Tonbridge are offering

Tilers in Tonbridge provide a variety of services, from covering underfloor heating systems with floor tiles, which can either be piped or an electric mat, to removing old wall and floor tiles as well as using floor levelling compounds and plaster to level walls and floors to enable them to retile surfaces with stone, ceramic or porcelain tiles. Any tiling products required to tile your property can be supplied by a tiling professional, which includes coloured grout and flexible adhesive products, in addition to being able to give product advice about the most suitable brand for your tiling work. Once the tiling process is complete, treatments to finish the surfaces of the tiles can be used, like sealing tiles made from natural stone materials. You can prevent tile discolouration and staining with the application of sealant and is a service that a quality tiler can provide year on year to keep your tiles looking good for years to come.

Tile options Tonbridge: Made from natural stone

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 they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Tonbridge tiler. Bathroom and en suite decor can be transformed with the use of filled and honed travertine tiles, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from discolouring or being marked, however porous surfaces such as limestone, tumbled marble and unfilled travertine are particularly in need of sealing. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors which usually has a riven texture and can be found in different colours. 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.

Decorating your house with tiles

Tiles provide hard wearing durability and are easy to clean, as well as being practical wall covering and flooring materials, and they can also be used to decorate work surfaces and create splash backs. Tiles are often used as a hallway flooring material in Victorian properties, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. Therefore many people with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Another room commonly tiled is a conservatory, due to their cool surface during hot weather and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.
