Different tiles for floors
There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, others are specifically for use on floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. Floor tiles are usually textured to prevent slipping when they get wet, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. Tiling on walls is usually done with thinner tiles, making them cost less. A number of people also choose to combine wall tiles with a border positioned horizontally around walls. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you don’t purchase the wrong sort of tiles for your floors and walls.
Tiling kitchens
A vast range of tile types are available so when you’re refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the floors, walls or to create splash backs, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. If you’re on a budget, you could choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but both types of tiles are available in a range of colours and designs. For added luxury, natural stone tiles could be the best choice, which can either be full size tiles, smaller square tiles or mosaic tiles on a mat. Modular sets of tiles are effective wall decor options and there is a varied range of colours in both travertine and slate tiles you could choose between. Handmade tiles with designs such as flora and fauna can add a bit of individuality to a kitchen whilst metallic tiles can reflect light and look good as splash backs.
