Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

A vast range of tile types are available so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile flooring and walls, you'll need to select the best type of tiles. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be a good choice if you're on a budget. 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 which can either be full size tiles, smaller square tiles or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. A further possibility that can look effective on walls and floors is modular tile sets and there is a varied range of colours in both travertine and slate tiles you could choose between. For a rustic kitchen or a feature wall look, handmade tiles can look fantastic with relief patterns and individual surface finishes, whereas if you want a tile that looks good as a splash back, you could try metallic tiles.

Finding Wigan tilers

When you're renovating or redecorating a property and need a recommended tiler in Wigan, you want to know you can rely on the tradesman you're employing. Whether you're looking for ceramic or porcelain tiles for a WC, en suite or family bathroom, or your floor is being retiled with natural stone tiles like marble or slate, you can contact a recommended tiler in Wigan when you send your job details through on the simple enquiry form. From offering grout and adhesive advice to customers, to adding finishing touches such as tile trims and using strips to seal along baths and showers, covering pipes in kitchens and bathrooms with boxing in to laying mosaics, a local tiling expert can help.

Suitable tiles for flooring

When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some tile ranges are specifically for walls, others are specifically for use on floors, or there are some ranges that can be used for either floors or walls. Tiles for floors are usually textured to prevent people slipping on them, which makes them practical and safe flooring options in bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms where water will likely splash on them. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. 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 don't purchase the wrong sort of tiles for your floors and walls.

Professional Wigan tiling services

A number of services are provided by tilers in Wigan, from tiling on top of underfloor heating, which can either be electrically powered or warmed using hot water, to chipping away old tiles from walls and floors and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls before using natural stone, porcelain or ceramic tiles to redecorate surfaces. Tiling products can also be supplied by a professional tiler, including rapid dry adhesives and tile grout, and advice can also be provided about how to choose the best adhesion products for your tiling project. If the tiling work is complete, finishing touches can be added like painting coats of tile sealant onto surfaces of stone tiles. This will protect tiles from discolouring and marking and regular treatment services can be provided by quality Wigan tilers to ensure your tiles look attractive for many years.

Tile options Wigan: Made from natural stone

A range of different natural stone tiles are available to choose from that are suited to use as luxurious floor and wall tiles and a time served Wigan tiler can carry out the tiling work for you. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, however kitchens walls are less likely to get splashed so tend to be tiled with unfilled travertine. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from discolouring or being marked, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. Increased protection can be provided through application of further coats of sealant each year. A further tile choice that is popular is slate which floors and walls can be decorated with, and that can be smooth or riven in texture and finish, and offers many colour options from multicoloured to flat black or grey. You can choose natural stone tiles in a large number of different sizes whilst choosing modular packs of tiles give the opportunity to create tile designs with different sized pieces of stone.

Laying tiles in your home

A hard wearing flooring option is tiles, which are well suited to application on both floors and walls, and they also make attractive work tops and fire surrounds. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which mopping and sweeping can clean with ease and rugs can add warmth. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, as with floors and walls in utility rooms, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. For that reason, tiled floors are popular for families with pets and children. Tiles are also frequently used for flooring in conservatories because they provide a cool flooring surface even when the room is warm and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.

• Mesh backed mosaics
• Durable porcelain floor tiles
