What to Think About When Buying Tiles

Tiles are an essential part of any home. They can make a room feel fresh and new, or they can add colour and personality to a space that is feeling bland. But with so many choices out there, how do you know which ones will work best in your home? In this blog post, we look at five things you should consider when purchasing tiles!





What is the style of your home?


The tiles you choose should complement your house's style. If not, it will look weird and out of place; take the idea from magazines or online for inspiration though! It's not about the little things, it’s all about how they come together to create a great space.


At the end of each day, you want your home to be welcoming and stylish which is why we offer an array of flooring options that will suit any taste or budget. Our glossy and semi-glossy finishes brighten up spaces by reflecting light off their surface in high style while our lasting materials give you peace of mind, years after installation.


Consider the size of the tile


With many floor size options, it can be difficult to find the right one for your space. Bigger tiles will make a room look bigger than other sizes and they are best suited if you have plenty of room or want an area that looks larger than life.


What finish are you wanting to achieve?


You will never be stuck with a boring tile design again. You can find many different finishes for your new tiles so that you can create the perfect palette in every room of your house and match it to suit your sense of style or décor.


The perfect tiles for your home can be found in an incredible selection, and with a variety of finishes to choose from. Some best choices available are polished, matt, wooden, metallic marble tech or rustic; depending on the look you're going for at home there is something that will go perfectly well with it.


Think about the material


The most popular and commonly used floor tiles are ceramic, vitrified, glass, cement or mosaic. Most often people decide to go with ceramic or vitrified for their home as it is a highly durable material that offers an eclectic blend of durability and aesthetic appearance. These tiles are highly resistant to wear and tear; they do not easily chip/crack nor get stained due to heavy foot traffic in the area where these will be installed if constantly walked on daily such as entryways into homes which can make them perfect for your space!


Will you need anti-slip tiles?


If you're looking for the perfect flooring option, be sure to choose a tile that is resistant to water and has an anti-slip feature. Matt finish tiles are one of the best options in most situations since they don't have much grip but do provide enough durability.


Easy to clean and maintain


Heavy foot traffic in your house means it is important to look for options that are easy to maintain and clean so you can keep them looking their best. Look for tiles that require a minimal amount of work, such as swiping with water or the use of soap and scrubbers when necessary.
