Everything you need to know about finding a floor tile supplier

Floor tiles come in a range of materials, colours and styles, and are best viewed at a tile suppliers warehouse or showroom. This will allow you to see how the tile looks laid in their intended setting. Tiles are rated for their slip and water resistance, which determines where they can be laid. Wet rooms such as bathrooms and pool areas would obviously require tiles to be rated for both safety and porosity.

The most popular floor tiling options are:

• Porcelain - Porcelain tiles are fired at extremely high temperatures, which makes them dense and incredibly hard – and a durable solution for high traffic areas. They do come with a price premium however.
• Ceramic - The most common type of kiln-fired tile, ceramic tiles come in a huge range of colours and styles. They are usually glazed which provides them with a glassy sheen, and protects them from staining.
• Mosaic - Small porcelain, glass or ceramic tiles manufactured in a range of colours that are mounted on a mesh or sheet for ease of application. They are popular for wet rooms such as bathrooms, showers and even swimming pools.
• Terracotta - This popular floor tiling option is manufactured from this distinctively coloured clay, which adds warmth to any home. Terracotta tiles must be sealed if they are laid as a floor tile, as they are very porous.
