Floor tiles and non slip varieties.

Oct. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The functionality of floor tiles is really important in rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom where there is likely to be spillages, water and children running around. The functionality of floor tiles is really important but the design and style is equally important to give the home owner the best of both worlds. The other important factor is the ease of cleaning and maintaining floor tiles especially in high traffic and busy areas. The idea of floor tiles that are non slip is that they are practical, easy to clean and that they look good with essential design.

Ceramic floor tiles are an ideal solution for non slip floors with the added bonus of having fantastic design, colour and style choice. Ceramic floor tiles are absolutely the best solution in non slip flooring, ceramic tiles are made from clay and the concept of ceramic floor tiles is an old one and they have been used for centuries as a floor tile solution.  Ceramic floor tiles that are the non slip variety have textured surfaces, rough surfaces and unglazed surfaces. Ceramic floor tiles are very often sealed to protect them further from damage and they will last for years and years. There are many ways ceramic floor tiles can be installed in different design patterns to make your floor tile design unique and they come in many designs to suit traditional, contemporary and modern settings.

Porcelain tiles are also a very good non slip floor tile solution; they are an incredibly hard durable tile that is incredibly strong and ideal for high traffic areas.  Porcelain floor tiles that are non slip are often found in large commercial settings such as shopping centres where having a non slip surface is paramount. Porcelain non slip floor tiles are ideal for busy areas within the home such as kitchens and they come in a wide range of styles and designs to give exclusive finishes.

Some natural stone floor tiles are also non slip and are also available for kitchen and bathroom areas, slate floor tiles give the home owner a real design feature and slate floor tiles are available in many styles and colours. Slate floor tiles will really bring the natural into the home and make a statement all of their own.  Again slate floor tiles have been used for many years as a flooring solution and they are incredibly strong and durable, easy to clean and maintain and long lasting.

Many home owners don’t want to change their floor tiles and are quite happy with the material, design and style of their floor tiles but they are non slip which isn’t practical. Existing floor tiles can be treated to ensure they are non slip by using a chemical.  There are many floor tiles that can be treated to provide a non slip surface and home owners can carry this treatment independently or they can employ a professional to ensure the job is done professionally. Having the job done professionally will ensure the floor tiles are treated properly and will provide a good all round non slip environment.

If you are replacing floor tiles or installing them as a new build, home owners should give some thought to non slip finishes at the earliest opportunity. The home owner then has the opportunity to install non slip tiles from the beginning.
