We specialise in bespoke decorated tiles and therefore do not normally supply plain floor tiles. We do however make decorative tiles to be incorporated into a tiled floor.

Wall tiles (because they are not intended to be load bearing) are typically thinner, lighter and softer than floor tiles. Wall tile glazes are not designed to handle the abrasive forces from foot traffic. Increasingly, floor tiles are being applied to walls and this is no problem so long as the walls are strong enough to support their weight and proper ceramic tile installation methods are used. However, it is not usual to recommend using wall tiles in floor applications.

All materials and tiling tools can be supplied for you to carry out the project on your own. From our vast network of tile suppliers in Essex, London and the home counties.

Tiling at 45 degrees does give a sense of extra space, but do allow more than the usual 10% for wastage. Brick-bonding the joints across the line of vision may serve to fore-shorten a long, narrow space. The converse is also true to suggest expansiveness away from your point of view.

Tile Installation over Cracks - I am building a house in Florida, and the slab is a year old, and its cracked. Before I install the ceramic tile, should I use any kind of underlayment to prevent the tile from cracking, and if yes, what kind? Can I use roof paper as an underlayment? I will appreciate your answer, thank you! Old Thin-set Removal - The first floor of my house is currently comprised of carpet in the living areas and tile in the kitchen and major hallways.

From the time the cables are turned ON it usually takes about half an hour to 2 hours to warm the floor, depending upon floor material and thickness.

Yes it definitely is possible to fit new tiles on top of an old tiled floor providing that none of the underneath tiles are loose or uneven. However it is not advisable as the cost would be high and you would be reducing the headroom (height between the floor and the ceiling). However if you still want to go ahead, then see that the existing surface provides a good 'grip'. If the existing flooring is of glazed tiles then they have to be roughened to give a good grip for the new floor.

The floor substrate, be it wood or concrete, needs to be flat and smooth. Because of corks' resiliency, imperfections, bumps and holes will telegraph through the finished flooring. If the subfloor isn't sufficiently smooth, troweling on a skim-coat with a cement-based patching compound is essential for professional results. We recommend using Ardex SD-F W.W. Henry Feather Finish, Mapei Planipatch Plus or Mapei Ultra Skim Coat.

Most long distance travelers send self-addressed food boxes from home to outposts along the way (listed in the PCTA's Town Guide, Wilderness Press PCT guidebooks and Ray Jardine's PCT Hiker's Handbook) to be held until their arrival. A few start with a food box and a spare gear/clothes box, sending these one re-supply stop ahead, buying locally to replace what they use along the way. Postage can be less expensive this way and there is more flexibility and less need for a support person at home.

The tiles have inbuilt tabs on all sides which lock securely to the adjacent tiles so they cannot move once laid.
