Different rooms where tiles can be used

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. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which are easy to sweep clean and can be covered with rugs. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, as a result of them being waterproof and hygienic. For that reason, families with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, because they provide a cool flooring surface even when the room is warm and they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're looking to retile your kitchen flooring and walls, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be a good choice if you're on a budget. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, which are available in many different sizes, or mesh backed travertine mosaics can be used to create borders or part tile walls. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and there is a varied range of colours in both travertine and slate tiles you could choose between. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Wakefield

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Wakefield. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from marking and discolouration, 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 tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options whilst choosing modular packs of tiles give the opportunity to create tile designs with different sized pieces of stone.

Suitable tiles for flooring

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some tile ranges are specifically for walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, and there are other tiles that can be used for walls and floors. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. 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.
