Kitchen Tiles

Kitchen Tiles come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colours and textures. For example, there's the versatility of ceramic kitchen tiles. Then there's slate, travertine, marble, and even limestone which can make excellent kitchen wall tiles. Not to mention the hard wearing scratch and water resistant none slip properties of Porcelain tiles which in many cases make them the ideal choice for kitchen floor tiles. So choosing the right tile for your kitchen can seem like a daunting task when you first look into it. Here at Tile Dealer we understand. That's why we have taken the time to carefully guide you through the selection process and teach you all you need to know about kitchen tiles, so you can make an expert decision on the perfect tiles for your kitchen tiling project.

Ceramic kitchen Tiles

Ceramic kitchen tiles can be used in all areas of the kitchen. They come in different grades, rated 1 - 5 with 5 being the most wear resistant, this helps you choose which tiles will be best suited for the different areas of your kitchen. Ceramic tiles are made of clay, and fired at extremely high temperatures in order to make them scratch, stain and water resistant. This is an important consideration for the kitchen. In addition to all this, ceramic kitchen tiles come in many different sizes, colours and styles, including glossy, satin and matte finishes.

Kitchen Wall Tiles

Kitchen wall tiles don't necessarily need to be hard wearing, but an important consideration is the stain resistance quality of the wall tile you choose. While marble and travertine are esthetically pleasing, they are also susceptible to scratching and staining, so these tiles might not be the best choice for your kitchen wall tiles. Take a look at the Earthworks Range by Pilkington Tiles, they have the look of natural stone but don't need sealing,

Kitchen Floor Tiles

Kitchen Floor Tiles are in many ways the easiest tile to select, because of the qualities they need to have in order to be suitable. They must be hard wearing; preferably none slip, stain resistant, and easy to clean. Porcelain and ceramic Kitchen floor tiles have all these qualities and therefore are an obvious choice. However, practicality is not the only factor to consider when making a kitchen tiling decision. You may also need to consider the size and colour of the tiles. For example, larger light coloured kitchen floor tiles will make your kitchen appear bigger! While a darker colour will hide the dirt and grime better than a light colour.
