Floor tiles are hard wearing and easy to care for making floor tiles an increasingly popular choice as a floor covering solution.

Choosing the correct tiles is harder than you would think particularly when you consider the vast number of design combinations; colour, size and texture not forgetting hand painted tiles and coloured grouts. Bearing in mind the design variables and the wide spectrum of costs, it is easy to understand why it is worth spending a little time planning your space. A good starting point would be to decide on your preferred colour of tile and to then explore the possibilities available to you in that colour.

What type of usage do you have planned for your floor?
- Outdoor floor tiles will clearly need to be resistant to all kinds of weather and in the UK that is likely to mean that you will need a vitreous or impervious tile which will not absorb too much water which could expand and crack the tile in frosty conditions. other tiles suitable for outdoor use include slate, natural stone and porcelain.

- Areas of high traffic will require a resilient tile and if the tile is ceramic, it will need a tougher glaze. Porcelain tiles are particularly tough and are ideal for areas of high usage.

- Wet or dry areas, a potentially wet area would require a tile with a rougher finish or a smaller tile, even a mosaic tile as the edges of the tile will afford some grip under wet conditions. In some cases a textured substance could be added to the glaze to create a completely non-slip surface.
