Different rooms where tiles can be used

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 mopping and sweeping can clean with ease and rugs can add warmth. Kitchens and bathrooms are commonly tiled and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, because tiles offer a waterproof and hygienic solution. 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 they can also be heated in winter using underfloor heating.

Different tiles for floors

Although there are many different types of tiles, some are more suited to use on walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, which makes them practical and safe flooring options in bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms where water splashing can occur. Tiles for walls don't need to be as thick so are often cheaper. Horizontally positioned border tiles are also used by many people to enhance designs and break up blocks of a single colour. 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.

Tiling kitchens|Using tiles in kitchens

There are many different types of tiles so if you're redecorating your kitchen and want to tile flooring and walls, choosing the most appropriate tiles for your tiling job is essential. 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, however both tile types come in many designs and colours. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you could try natural stone which could be 30.5cm square up to 61 x 40.6cmm, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Modular tile sets are another possibility suited to use on floors and walls and these tend to be available in travertine and slate most commonly. For a rustic kitchen or a feature wall look, handmade tiles can look fantastic with relief patterns and individual surface finishes, or there are metallic tiles, often available in mosaic tile sheets, which can provide a clean fresh look and work well as splash backs.

Different types of natural stone tiles for Oxford

Many types of natural stone tiles are available that offer a luxurious finish to a wall or floor in your home and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Oxford tiler. 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. Applying natural stone sealant to the face of the tiles protects tiles from staining or discolouring, but in particular, travertine, marble and limestone tiles with porous surfaces should be treated. It is also important to reseal tiles annually so the protection remains. 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 or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.
