Natural Stone - Travertine - Limestone - Terracotta - Slate

Natural Stone is a choice that can create a timeless presence in any room. Due to the nature of stone it is something that creates a very tactile environment. Stone tiling has been used since Roman times, and even though excellent man-made materials like ceramic and porcelain have become popular in recent years, the natural stone tile is still valued for its beauty and life span.

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are very versatile and can be cost effective so great if working to a budget. While not all ceramic tiles are cheap, it is possible to find bargain ceramic tiles which still can add to the beauty of your home. A glaze is applied to the tile, then fired again to harden the glaze. So the main value of a ceramic tile, besides its possible cost-savings, is that it can be formed into an infinite variety of colours and shapes because it is made from scratch.

Quarry Tiles

In the past, the quarry tile came from a quarry, they were cut away, ground and polished. Now manufacturers use the extrusion method for making a vitreous clay tile that is almost as hard as natural stone.The Quarry tile has a textured surface, which means that it is perfect for flooring because it provides a good grip.

Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain tiles are also a very common trend in tiles. There are many different styles of porcelain tiles on the market and they have proved to outperform ceramic tiles in durability and looks. Porcelain tiles are the preferred tile choice for under floor heating systems. Porcelain can be an excellent substitute for natural stone as some of them look and feel almost identical but require no maintenance and last forever.
