Laying tiles in your home

Tiles are an easy to clean and durable material well suited to application on both floors and walls, and they also make attractive work tops and fire surrounds. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which mopping and sweeping can clean with ease and rugs can add warmth. Bathrooms and kitchens are most commonly tiled rooms, and likewise with floors and walls in utility rooms, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. Therefore many families with kids and/or pets often opt for tiling on their floors. Conservatory floors are also popularly laid with tiles because they provide a cool flooring surface even when the room is warm and they can be combined with underfloor heating if desired to add warmth in winter.

Services tilers in Dundee are offering

There are a number of services offered by tilers in Dundee, from covering underfloor heating systems with floor tiles, which can be electrically powered or heated through hot water in pipes, to removal of tiles from floors and walls and levelling floors and walls with plaster and screed to prepare walls to enable them to retile surfaces with stone, ceramic or porcelain tiles. Any tiling products required to tile your property can be supplied by a tiling professional, such as flexible adhesive and coloured grout, and they can provide advice on the best type of adhesion products for your particular tiling task. Once walls have been tiled, finishing touches can be added like painting coats of tile sealant onto surfaces of stone tiles. Staining and discolouring of tile surfaces can be avoided by sealing tiles, and is a service that a quality tiler can provide year on year to ensure your tiles look attractive for many years.

Suitable tiles for flooring

Despite there being a lot of different sorts of tiles, some tile ranges are specifically for walls, other tiles are made to be floor coverings, or there are some ranges that can be used for either floors or walls. 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. Wall tiles tend to be cheaper as they can be thinner. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Tile retailers and outlets will usually have tiles marked up so you know whether they are for walls or floors.

Dundee Tiles made from natural stone

Natural stone tile ranges offer a large amount of choice of tile types that offer a luxurious finish to a wall or floor in your home and an experienced Dundee tiler can decorate your surfaces with them. Honed and filled travertine tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and en suites, whereas kitchens are commonly tiled with unfilled travertine because the amount of water contact is less. Travertine tiles treated with stone sealant are protected from discolouring or being marked, however porous surfaces such as limestone, tumbled marble and unfilled travertine are particularly in need of sealing. Ensuring a regular coat of sealant is applied each year will protect your tiles for longer. Slate tiles are another popular natural stone tile type that can be purchased in various colours and usually have riven textures. Tile suppliers and DIY stores offer tiles in a variety of different sizes or there are options to use modular tile packs that give a variety of tile sizes to create attractive designs.

Tiles suited to use in kitchens

There is a number of tile types available so when you're planning to tile a kitchen work surfaces, floors and walls, you'll need to select the best type of tiles. A practical option when on a budget is to choose ceramic or porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are hard wearing because they are incredibly hard, 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, 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. A further possibility that can look effective on walls and floors is modular tile sets and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. Adding individuality to a kitchen can be achieved by using handmade tiles, whereas if you want a tile that looks good as a splash back, you could try metallic tiles.
