Tiles suitable for floors
Although many tiles are available to choose between, some are more suited to use on walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, whilst either wall or floor surfaces can be decorated with other tile ranges. Tiles for floors are usually textured to prevent people slipping on them, which makes them safe for shower rooms, bathrooms and wet rooms where they’re exposed to splashing from water. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. 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 know you’re getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.
Using tiles in kitchens
There is a number of tile types available so when you’re planning to tile a kitchen work tops, walls or flooring, you will need to choose the best type of tile to suit your needs. When you’re on a budget, porcelain or ceramic tiles can be a practical option. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, however both tile types come in many designs and colours. You could also introduce the beauty of natural products with natural stone tiles, that can be purchased from tile specialists in a number of different sizes, and both square and rectangle shapes, or mesh backed travertine mosaics can be used to create borders or part tile walls. Another option is modular tile sets which look attractive as flooring but can also be used as wall tiles, 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.
