Floor Tiling

While tiling is more generally used to cover bathroom and kitchen walls, it can be a very appealing flooring option. Relatively inexpensive, floor tiling is available in a multitude of designs and styles and is suited to use in many rooms of your home. Floor tiling is frequently suited for bathroom or kitchen floors as it is simple to clean and exceptionally hard-wearing, as well as being moisture proof. Floor tiles are generally produced from ceramic or porcelain, but they can be purchased in many other choices of material such as slate, marble and limestone, each of which will have a different appearance and durability. When installing floor tiling, it is crucial to ensure that the base surface is as clean and level as possible. Tiling also usually requires an additional backing board to be laid on top of the existing floor in order 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 stick the tiles down, and then the gaps in between are filled with grout to seal the tiles against moisture. Fitting tiles yourself can be a difficult job which may require lots of tile cutting, and any mistakes can be extremely costly to rectify or even damage your floor, so choose a professional to install your floor tiling. Professional tiling companies can inform you on the perfect tile to use for your room, and ensure the fitting is of an exceptional standard.
