Rooms that can benefit from tiling

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, and you can also use them to decorate fire places or to make splash backs. Minton tiled floors can often be found in hallways of Victorian properties, which look good with rugs on them and can be kept clean easily with sweeping and mopping. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, as is often the case with utility room flooring and wall coverings, largely due to them being hygienic and waterproof. For that reason, tiled floors are popular for families with pets and children. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles due to them staying cooler even in the heat of summer and underfloor heating can be installed to heat them in winter.

Choosing the best type of tile

  • Handmade ceramic tiles
  • Stainless steel mosaic tiles
  • Mosaic border tiles
  • Filled and honed travertine
  • Riven slate floor tiles
  • Cheap ceramic tiles
  • Terracotta kitchen floor tiles
  • Non-slip textured floor tiles
  • Durable porcelain floor tiles
  • Coloured glass tiles

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

A number of different sorts of tiles are on offer so when you're refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the work surfaces, floors and walls, choosing the most appropriate tiles for your tiling job is essential. A practical option when on a budget is to choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, which can either be full size tiles, smaller square tiles or mosaic tiles on a mat. Another option is modular tile sets which look attractive as flooring but can also be used as wall tiles, and both are available in slate and travertine, with the variety of colours providing an attractive finish. Relief patterns and gloss or matt finishes are available in handmade tiles which can add luxury to a kitchen, or for splash backs with a difference, try metallic tiles which look good in a brushed finish.

Suitable tiles for flooring

Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, whilst either wall or floor surfaces can be decorated with other tile ranges. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, which makes them practical and safe flooring options in bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. You don't need as thick tiles on walls so prices are usually lower than floor tiles. Many people choose border tiles to break up tiling on walls. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you're decorating.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Preston

There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles that are suited to use as luxurious floor and wall tiles and a time served Preston 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. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from being affected by discolouration or stains, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. 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 that can be purchased in various colours and usually have riven textures. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.
