York Tiles made from natural stone

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges that many people like to use on their walls and floors for a touch of luxury and a time served York tiler can carry out the tiling work for you. Bathroom and en suite decor can be transformed with the use of filled and honed travertine tiles, whilst the unfilled versions of the stone tiles are popular in kitchens where splashing is less. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from discolouring or being marked, but the most important natural stone tiles to seal are porous marble, travertine or limestone. Reapplying the sealant each year will make sure the tile surfaces remain protected. Slate tiles are another popular natural stone tile type which you can purchase from tile suppliers in a variety of colours and with different textures, from smooth to riven surfaces. You can choose natural stone tiles in a large number of different sizes whilst tile designs can be created using modular tile packs.

Different tile types to choose from

• Border mosaics on mesh backing
• Recycled glass eco tiles
• Non-slip tiles for floors with textured surfaces
• Modular slate tile packs
• Filled and honed travertine
• Relief patterned handmade tiles
• Quarry tiles
• Patterned porcelain tiles
• Metal wall tiles
• Budget tiles made from ceramic

Professional York tiling services

There is a range of services that tilers in York provide, from tiling on top of underfloor heating, which can be electrically powered or heated through hot water in pipes, to clearing away old wall and floor tiles and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls before using natural stone, porcelain or ceramic tiles to redecorate surfaces. Products needed to carry out your tiling work can be sourced by a tiling expert, which includes coloured grout and flexible adhesive products, and they can give advice about the best tile brands and products to select. Once walls have been tiled, you can use tile finishing products like sealing tiles made from natural stone materials. You can prevent tile discolouration and staining with the application of sealant and an experienced tiler can provide this service each year to ensure your tiles look attractive for many years.

Tiles suitable for floors

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, others are specifically for use on floors, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. To prevent people slipping on floor tiles, they usually have textured surfaces, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where water will likely splash on them. 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. Tiles are usually marked up in a DIY store or tile shop so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.

Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so when you're planning to tile a kitchen floors, walls or to create splash backs, selecting the best tiles on the market is necessary. When you're on a budget, porcelain or ceramic tiles can be a practical option. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. A more luxurious option is natural stone tiles that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Modular sets of tiles are effective wall decor options and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, whereas if you want a tile that looks good as a splash back, you could try metallic tiles.

Using tiles to decorate your home

A hard wearing flooring option is tiles, which are practical for flooring and wall coverings, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, as are utility room walls and floors, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. Therefore many families with kids and/or pets often opt for tiling on their floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.
