Tile options Kirkcaldy: Made from natural stone

A large amount of choice is on offer in natural stone tile ranges which are luxurious wall and floor tile options and a time served Kirkcaldy tiler can carry out the tiling work for you. En suites and bathrooms are frequently decorated in filled and honed travertine tiles, whereas the unfilled type of tile will often be used to decorate kitchens because there is less chance of water splashing. Application of natural stone tile sealant should be carried out to prevent surface damage from discolouring or being marked, but the most important natural stone tiles to seal are porous marble, travertine or limestone. Reapplying the sealant each year will make sure the tile surfaces remain protected. Slate tiles are another popular natural stone tile type which you can purchase from tile suppliers in a variety of colours and with different textures, from smooth to riven surfaces. You can choose natural stone tiles in a large number of different sizes whilst tile designs can be created using modular tile packs.

Professional Kirkcaldy tiling services

Tilers in Kirkcaldy offer a number of services, from tiling on top of underfloor heating, which can be electrically powered or heated through hot water in pipes, to chipping away old tiles from walls and floors and surface preparation such as floor levelling and plastering walls before using natural stone, porcelain or ceramic tiles to redecorate surfaces. Products needed to carry out your tiling work can be sourced by a tiling expert, such as grout and adhesive, and advice can also be provided about how to choose the best adhesion products for your tiling project. Once walls have been tiled, treatments to finish the surfaces of the tiles can be used, such as application of coats of sealant. You can prevent tile discolouration and staining with the application of sealant and an experienced tiler can provide this service each year to ensure your tiles look attractive for many years.

Kitchen tiles

You can choose from a number of different tile types, so when you're refurbishing your kitchen with new tiles on the floors, walls or to create splash backs, it's important to choose the best tiles to suit your needs. Choosing porcelain or ceramic tiles can be practical when on a budget. Porcelain tiles are extremely hard and therefore are very durable, but either tile material provides a large selection of designs, textures and colours. A more luxurious option is natural stone tiles that you can find in various sizes including 40x60cm, 40x40cm and 60x60cm, or you could choose mosaic tiles with mat mesh backing to tile sections of walls or to use as tiled borders. Another option to consider is modular tile sets that can look effective on either floors or walls and you can select from a range of travertine and slate options with various colours on offer. Individuality can be added to any kitchen with the use of handmade tiles which often have raised designs, whereas if you want a tile that looks good as a splash back, you could try metallic tiles.

Different tiles for floors

Although many tiles are available to choose between, some ranges of tiles are only for application on walls, others are specifically for use on floors, or some tiles can be used to decorate either. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where water will likely splash on them. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. DIY shops and tile outlets usually have signs in place to indicate what type of tiles you're looking at so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.

Using tiles to decorate your home

A hard wearing flooring option is tiles, which are practical for flooring and wall coverings, and there is also the option of tiling worktops, splash backs and fireplaces to create beautiful interior environments. Victorian houses often have hallway floors covered with tiles such as Minton tiles, which can be covered with rugs to add warmth and are easy to sweep clean. Tiled kitchens and bathrooms are commonplace, as are utility room walls and floors, because they are both waterproof and hygienic. Therefore many families with kids and/or pets often opt for tiling on their floors. Conservatories and sun rooms are also commonly tiled, because tiles provide a cool surface for warm summer weather and by installing underfloor heating systems, warmth can be provided in winter.
