York Tiles made from natural stone
There are a large number of different types of natural stone tiles that are popular choices for floor and wall tiles and that can be applied by an experienced York tiler. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, whilst the unfilled versions of the stone tiles are popular in kitchens where splashing is less. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from being marked or discolouring, however tumbled marble and limestone or porous travertine are the most important tile surfaces to seal. It is also important to reseal tiles annually so the protection remains. A further tile choice that is popular is slate which floors and walls can be decorated with, and that provides many colour options and has attractive riven textures. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes or even as modular packs containing a variety of sized pieces.
Rooms that can benefit from tiling
When you lay tiles, you will get an easy clean, durable material suited to being laid on either floors or walls, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Minton tiled floors can often be found in hallways of Victorian properties, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Kitchen and bathrooms are frequently decorated with tiles, and likewise with flooring and walling in utility rooms, which is down to them being hygienic and waterproof. That's one of the reasons why families find tiled floors so appealing. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.
Tiles suitable for floors
When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Floor tiles should have enough texture that when wet they aren't slippery, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. 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.
Kitchen tiles
You can choose from a number of different tile types, so if you're looking to retile your kitchen work tops, walls or flooring, you'll need to select the best type of tiles. Choosing porcelain or ceramic tiles can be practical when on a budget. When you require durability, the hardness of porcelain is the ideal choice, 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 are available in many different sizes, or mesh backed travertine mosaics can be used to create borders or part tile walls. Another option to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or walls and these tend to be available in travertine and slate most commonly. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, and metallic tiles can be used to reflect light and provide attractive splash backs.
