Different rooms where tiles can be used

When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, 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. Kitchen and bathrooms are frequently decorated with tiles, as is often the case with utility room flooring and wall coverings, which is down to them being hygienic and waterproof. For that reason, tiled floors are popular for families with pets and children. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, due to them staying cooler even in the heat of summer but they can be transformed into warm comfortable flooring in winter with the use of underfloor heating.

Different tiles for floors

Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some are more suited to use on walls, others are designed to be used for flooring, or there are some ranges that can be used for either floors or walls. 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. Tiles for walls don’t need to be as thick so are often cheaper. Many people choose border tiles to break up tiling on walls. Tiles are usually marked up in a DIY store or tile shop so you know your choice of tiles are suitable for the surface you’re decorating.
