Floor Tiling

While tiling is more generally used to cover bathroom and kitchen walls, it can be a very attractive flooring option. Relatively inexpensive, floor tiling comes in a multitude of designs and styles and is ideal for use in many rooms of your home. Floor tiling is most often applied to bathroom or kitchen floors as it is simple to clean and highly tough, as well as being moisture proof. Floor tiles are typically produced from ceramic or porcelain, however they are available in many other options of material such as slate, marble and limestone, each of which will have a different appearance and durability. When installing floor tiling, it is vital to ensure that the base surface is as clean and level as possible. Tiling also generally requires an additional backing board to be laid on top of the present floor to be able to guarantee a flat finish and to maintain the lifespan of your tiles. After this extra board is installed, a layer of mortar is used to adhere the tiles down, and then the gaps in between are filled with grout to seal the tiles against moisture. The installation of tiles yourself can be a difficult job which might require lots of tile cutting, and any errors can be very costly to rectify or even damage your floor, so choose a specialist to install your floor tiling. Specialist tiling companies can suggest for you the ideal tile to use for your room, and ensure the fitting is of an exceptional standard.
