Different Tile Types

Lemlin

Getting close to needing tiles and have started looking at all the different types. Just wondered if anyone had info they could recommend.

My main area of concern is our kitchen and utility room area. It's about 80 square metres and if we also do the sun room in tiles we are looking at over 100 square metres. Because of the amount we need, I was planning to keep our budget to max €30 per square metre/yard.

From what I've read, I'm planning to go with porcelain or polished porcelain in this area because natural stone tiles won't be possible if keeping to budget of 30e.

Also, if anyone could recommend any tile suppliers (I'm in Cavan) or online stores (even if just for looking at galleries), then please pm.

Also Porcelain is a better choice of tile for the floor as it is the same colour throughout the tile.
If you chip a porcelain tile by dropping something on it you will not notice it as much as if you damaged a clay tile which exposes the red core when chipped.

Thanks for that. Could marble be used for the kitchen?

Amtico are a very durable tile and have some lovely designs. You can download brochures here

They aren't cheap but if you trawl through their web site you will probably get a contact number for a stockist in Ireland
