Why Choose Tiles?

Ceramic, slate and natural stone tiles are increasing in popularity for both wall and floor coverings. Smooth flooring is far more popular and fashionable than carpet, and tiles have taken their share of that growing market with a 15% increase in the last 5 years. For kitchens tiles are ideal as they are so easy to keep clean but there are many more reasons for choosing tiles:

• Smooth wall and floor surfaces are better than soft furnishings for people who suffer from asthma and allergies.
• Smooth flooring is hygienic and easy to clean Tiled walls are also very hygienic and not only are they easy to clean but
  you can have grout with Microban to give your family further protection and eliminate black mould.
• Tiled floors are more robust and withstand hard knocks and even large spills – some insurance companies are insisting on tiled floors when paying out for flood damage.
• Tiled floors are ideal for conservatories - they will not fade and heat will not damage their surface or curl them. In manufacture they are fired at about 1200ºC and their colour comes from natural clays & minerals - not from dyes.
• Tiled floors last much longer than carpet and stylish rugs let you ring the changes to co-ordinate with your latest décor.
