Removing Mosaic Tiles

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Due to their size, removing individual mosaic tiles can be both difficult and messy. Those carrying out the procedure will need to employ the help of a hammer, chisel and plenty of safety paraphernalia to protect against the noise and the dust. Many homeowners may even be put off laying these tiles, in order to steer clear of the removal process. Fortunately, we at Online Tiles Direct supply a range of tiles that have been designed to avoid this issue completely.

We appreciate that mosaic tiles have been extremely popular amongst homeowners looking to create a luxurious and contemporary look in their bathroom or kitchen. Therefore, we believe that it is important to offer a solution that provides the sought-after look, without requiring the fiddly installation or removal.

Amongst the range of tiles that can be found on our website, is a selection of mosaic tiles that are supplied in a standard tile form, for easy application. Rather than removing individual tiles only an inch squared, instead homeowners can opt for larger tiles of approximately 25cmx40cm.

We also offer mosaic tiles that are supplied in sheets, for those that are looking to create an inexpensive border design. All tiles are sourced from leading manufacturers from across the UK and Europe, so our customers can be sure that whichever variety they choose, they will be of a superior quality.

As specialists in the industry for a number of years, those that do choose to brave the traditional mosaic tiles can rest assured that our team will offer advice, if necessary, for application. Our range of silicones, grouts and tools have also been hand-picked to ease this process.

To purchase these easy to use mosaic tiles, please feel free to visit our website and take a look around our online shop. If you would like a free sample before you decide, simply fill out our enquiry form.

Coloured Floor Tiles

Monday, July 5th, 2010

As notions of what is and isn’t fashionable in interior design shift and develop, coloured floor tiles of all kinds are increasing in popularity. Where stilted, plain designs once ruled, changing homeowner tastes have resulted in a wide range of colours and styles in demand nationwide. This means that if you fancy something a little classier for your home than dull existing tiles, now is the time to act. Here at Online Tiles Direct, we’ve responded to demand by refining our product range so that we stock tasteful coloured designs to suit every kitchen, hallway or bathroom.

Floor tiles are increasingly common in bathrooms and kitchens due to their waterproofing qualities, how easily they are wiped clean and the modern preference for clear aesthetic lines and minimalist styling. At Online Tiles Direct, we stock a variety of standard tiles, in addition to a few special orders. For example, one porcelain tile in our range is finished with a high quality metallic effect which delivers a strikingly contemporary edge to kitchens.

The surface of another product on offer is etched by innovative laser technology which creates a classy puzzle effect that can compliment any stylish room perfectly. We also supply textured and non slip tiles for those with safety at the absolute forefront of their thinking.

The flooring that you choose for your home is more important that you think. Not only are cracked tiles or dirty carpets unpleasant underfoot, they can actually discourage the sale of a house and reduce its value.

Our website contains all the information you need to choose the right coloured floor tiles for your home; you can even buy online (don’t forget adhesive, grout and spacers!) Transform monochrome kitchens and bathrooms into fashionable and functional areas of your home for the entire family to enjoy with coloured floor tiles from Online Tiles Direct.
