What are ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles have been trusted for thousands of years, with origins dating back to ancient Egypt and decorative use throughout the Roman Empire and Victorian homes. Today, they remain a popular choice thanks to their balance of durability and design.
Made from clay and other natural materials, ceramic tiles are kiln-fired to form a hard surface. They are slightly less dense than porcelain, which makes them better suited to indoor spaces, but modern glazing ensures they remain durable and water-resistant in kitchens and bathrooms.
The benefits of ceramic tiles
- Easy to maintain: Dirt and spills remain on the surface for effortless cleaning, just wipe or mop with warm water and a mild cleaner.
- Durable: The hard, glazed surface resists scratches and cracks, even in high-traffic areas.
- Hygienic: Ceramic tiles don’t trap dirt or allergens, making them ideal for allergy-friendly homes.
- Water-resistant: Their non-porous finish makes them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and other humid spaces.
Practical and stylish ideas
- Fashionable floors: From retro designs like our eye-catching Biarritz tiles to classic marble-effect floors, our ceramic floor tiles make a lasting impression. For a modern, minimalist vibe, consider large pale grey tiles or dramatic dark tones.
- Trendy walls: Experiment with finishes and shapes to transform walls. Go subtle with matt or textured surfaces, or choose glossy designs like our glossy mosaics for reflective impact. Try Carrara marble-look tiles for timeless elegance or classic metro tiles for a contemporary edge. Enhance feature walls with dark Cosmos Lux tiles for a sophisticated finish.
Room inspiration
- Bathrooms: Mix white floors with colourful Artesano wall tiles or try Vives tiles for vintage appeal.
- Kitchens: Pair sleek walls like Metal White with patterned floors or add character with shell mosaics or classic white borders.
- Hallways: Make a statement with Pebble Multicolour tiles or Victorian-inspired patterns for traditional homes.
- Living rooms & bedrooms: Use stone-look ceramic floors or feature walls with ornate fireplaces or 3D white tiles.
