Wall & Floor Tiling
The
choice and diversity of wall and floor tiles currently available
on the market today is immense, from plain white tiles to highly
patterned mosaics, J Crombie Plumbing & Heating have the
expertise and specialist skills to fit them all. Exapmles of our
work can be found in our wall and floor tiling gallery. Due to
the wide range of wall tiles now available, we have given a brief
description and some usage guides below:
Ceramic Tiles
Until recently these tiles were the main type of tile
available and can are used both on the walls and the floor. The
glaze used on the top surface makes these tiles ideal for use in
bathrooms as it prevent moisture penetration when the right
grouts and adhesives are used.
Mosaic Tiles
These tiles have become increasingly popular in recent
years and are a series of very small sized tiles mounted on a
plastic mesh backing. This mesh backing is typically 30cm square
and assists with the installation while making the tile flexible.
Mosaic tiles are available in a wide variety of materials
including ceramic, natural stone and glass. Due to the
flexibility of these tiles they are particularly suited for
tiling round shaped or curved areas in the bathroom.
Natural Stone Tiles
These tiles have also gained in popularity over the recent
years and are available in various forms such as travertine,
marble, granite, limestone, tumbled marble. The main advantage of
these tiles apart from their beauty is that they are very hard
wearing although they will require sealing before use.
Porcelain Tiles
These tiles are harder wearing than ceramic and
virtually impervious to water. Porcelain tiles are often
manufactured in larger sizes than ceramic.
