Rooms that can benefit from tiling

Tiles are an easy to clean and durable material suitable for use on walls and floors, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Hallways in Victorian homes are often covered with tiles, which can easily be mopped or swept and rugs can be used to cover them if you wish. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, because tiles offer a waterproof and hygienic solution. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and underfloor heating can be installed to heat them in winter.

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

There are many different types of tiles so when you're planning to tile a kitchen work surfaces, floors and walls, selecting the best tiles on the market is necessary. When you're on a budget, porcelain or ceramic tiles can be a practical option. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, however tiles made from either type of material can be purchased with various designs and with glazed or textured surfaces. If you want to add a little bit of luxury to your kitchen, natural stone tiles could be the solution, that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or mosaic tiles on a mat. Modular sets of tiles are effective wall decor options and you can choose between various coloured slate and travertine products. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.

Tiles suitable for floors

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 some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, to make them practical for use in utility rooms, kitchens and bathrooms 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. DIY shops and tile outlets usually have signs in place to indicate what type of tiles you're looking at so you don't purchase the wrong sort of tiles for your floors and walls.

Natural stone tiles Lancaster

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges that offer a luxurious finish to a wall or floor in your home and that can be applied by an experienced Lancaster tiler. Shower rooms and en suites are often decorated with travertine tiles that are honed and filled, whereas kitchens are commonly tiled with unfilled travertine because the amount of water contact is less. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from discolouring or being marked, but marble, limestone and travertine tiles with porous surfaces are the most important tiles to seal. It is also important to reseal tiles annually so the protection remains. Slate is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors that can be smooth or riven in texture and finish, and offers many colour options from multicoloured to flat black or grey. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes or there are options to use modular tile packs that give a variety of tile sizes to create attractive designs.
