Ceramic Floor Tiles
Ceramic floor tiles are known for their durability, easy maintenance and affordability. From stone and marble effect to patterned and gloss, our collection has the perfect style to suit your living or commercial space.
What is ceramic and how is it made?
Ceramic is normally made from earthen minerals, predominantly clay. It is mixed with other elements such as water to form a moldable consistency and then dried in a kiln to remove the moisture. It is then heated at a high temperature to enhance its durability and strength. Any finishing process such as glazing and painting are then applied as a final step.
What makes ceramic beneficial for floor tiles?
Ceramic floor tiles are extremely durable and hard-wearing. They also have a high level of scratch resistance which is why they are excellent for floors, especially in areas with high footfall. In addition to this, ceramic tiles have a low water absorption rate which makes them excellent for bathrooms and kitchens, or areas with increased moisture. Adding to their durability, ceramic floor tiles can resist hot temperatures, making them even more beneficial to use in areas prone to more heat, like kitchens or even fireplaces. You can rely on ceramic floor tiles to last with minimal wear and tear.
How do I install and maintain ceramic floor tiles?
If you’re looking for a type of tile that is easy to maintain, a ceramic floor tile may be the best option for you. Cleaning is made effortless as no specialist or expensive procedures are required. What’s more, ceramic floor tiles are hard to stain, so if you have young children or even pets in your home, you can be reassured your floor tiles will be kept intact.
If you are installing these floor tiles yourself, ensure the surface is level. If you want to add extra protection to prevent cracking, you have the option of laying a membrane underneath, although this isn’t essential. Arrange the tiles how you’d like them by dry-fitting them initially. It is recommended that you work from the centre of the room, in small sections. When you are ready to properly install, secure with mortar and use tile spacers to create uniform alignment and straight grout lines.
