Natural stone tiles Hereford

Natural stone tile ranges offer a large amount of choice of tile types which are luxurious wall and floor tile options and they can be laid as a floor or tiled on your walls by a capable Hereford tiler. Filled and honed travertine is popular for use in shower rooms and bathrooms, however kitchens walls are less likely to get splashed so tend to be tiled with unfilled travertine. Sealant should be applied to any natural stone tiles to protect the surface from staining or discolouring, but the most important natural stone tiles to seal are porous marble, travertine or limestone. Increased protection can be provided through application of further coats of sealant each year. Slate is a popular tile material suited to both wall and floors which usually has a riven texture and can be found in different colours. Tile shops sell natural stone tiles in a range of size options or you can choose modular packs which provide variation in tile sizes.

Suitable tiles for flooring

There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some are more suited to use on walls, others are designed to be used for flooring, or there are some ranges that can be used for either floors or walls. Textured surfaces are a feature of floor tiles making them less slippery, which makes them practical and safe flooring options in bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms where they're exposed to splashing from water. Tiles for walls don't need to be as thick so are often cheaper. A number of people also choose to combine wall tiles with a border positioned horizontally around walls. Signage and point of sales in DIY superstores and tile retailers are usually present to indicate what type of tiles you are looking at so you know whether they are for walls or floors.
