Tiling the floors in your home can add value, especially when used in appropriate rooms like the bathroom and kitchen. They add a durable, luxurious touch and are far easier to clean if you spill something on them as opposed to carpets. The disadvantages of tiled floors can be that they are cold to the touch – especially when not paired with underfloor heating – and can get slippery when wet. If you have a large room, tiles may not be the best choice, especially if you have young children who like to run around as they could potentially slip and hurt themselves.

Fitting A Wet Room Shower Tray
Having a set of floors tiled in your home can make a huge difference to the ambience and living environment – but it can also have a huge impact on your bank balance if you’re not careful. Some tile options are cheaper than others, while some are more premium and perha£ suitable for a feature somewhere like a fireplace, but not the entirety of a room, depending on your budget. The choice of pattern design will also dictate the price that you will pay, the more complex the pattern, the more time and skill is needed from your tile fitter, resulting in higher prices for fitting. As you’d expect, straight-edged tiles are less expensive than curved ones, or those with bevelled edges. You can still create impressive patterns with simple tiles, so don’t think you’re missing out if you’re not buying the most complex design on the market! The size of the room in which your are getting the floor tiled will raise or lower your price accordingly, not only in materials, but also in labour costs, too. The larger the space, the more time it’ll take to prepare and lay the tiles – as well as literally needing more product to fill the area.

Tilers North Leeds
Tile coverings are never 100% waterproof. Wherever water flows over tiles and pools, moisture can gradually seep through joints that have been grouted. It’s really important when installing we rooms and showers to prevent moisture from reaching the building fabric where it can cause damp and structural damage. Wet rooms must be correctly ‘tanked’ before they are tiled. A variety of ‘tanking’ products are available to buy.
What should I put down on floor before tiling?
Underlayment is something you put on top of your substrate to prepare it for tiling. The substrate (or subfloor) is the ground, whether it's made of plywood or cement. Cement board or backer board are the most standard underlayments. They come in various thicknesses for different spaces.
Can you get non-slip bathroom floor tiles?
Commonly used in slip-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens, anti-slip tiles are great for reducing slips and falls. They have a rough, textured surface which increases the rate of friction between your feet and the floor.
Can you put wall tile on the floor?
Wall tiles are thinner than floor tiles, and therefore should not be used on floors, lest they crack due to foot traffic.
What do you tile first in a bathroom?
Whilst you can tile either one first, popular opinion based on experience is that is is easier to tile the walls first and then the floor, if you are tiling both in a room. This ensures that you keep the floor tiles cleaner as you won't be doing so much work around them once they are installed.
