Types of floor tiles

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some ranges of tiles are only for application on 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, making them a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms where water will likely splash on them. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. A number of people also choose to combine wall tiles with a border positioned horizontally around walls. 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 don’t purchase the wrong sort of tiles for your floors and walls.

Laying tiles in 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. Hallways in Victorian homes are often covered with tiles, which are easy to sweep clean and can be covered with rugs. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, because tiles offer a waterproof and hygienic solution. Therefore many people with kids and pets tend to choose tiled floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, due to their cool surface during hot weather but they can be transformed into warm comfortable flooring in winter with the use of underfloor heating.
