Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so when you're planning to tile a kitchen work tops, walls or flooring, 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. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you could try natural stone which are available in many different sizes, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Another option is modular tile sets which look attractive as flooring but can also be used as wall tiles, and these tend to be available in travertine and slate most commonly. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Motherwell

A range of different natural stone tiles are available to choose from that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles work which can be completed by an experienced tiler in Motherwell. Filled and honed travertine is popular for use in shower rooms and bathrooms, whilst unfilled travertine is more suited to areas where it will be exposed to less water and splashing. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from discolouring or being marked, however porous surfaces such as limestone, tumbled marble and unfilled travertine are particularly in need of sealing. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate tiles, which can be used on walls or floors, are another popular choice, which usually has a riven texture and can be found in different colours. 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.

Tiles suitable for floors

There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some of them are designed only for walls, others are specifically for use on floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where they'll get splashed. 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 know whether they are for walls or floors.

Using tiles to decorate your home

Tiles provide hard wearing durability and are easy to clean, as well as being suited to being laid on either floors or walls, and they can also be used to decorate work surfaces and create 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 with floors and walls 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. Tiles are also frequently used for flooring in conservatories because they provide a cool flooring surface even when the room is warm and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.
