Wall and Floor Tiles

Add contrast to your kitchen with wall and floor tiles from EKCO. Tiles in a kitchen add a welcome contrast to painted walls or stainless steel splashbacks. Materials change as do tastes and styles but tiles still remain an extremely popular choice of wall covering whether made of ceramic, porcelain, slate or travertine.

As well as being more hygienic and easy to keep clean tiles, unlike some other surfaces, don’t harbour mites which helps to alleviate allergies. They are endlessly adaptable allowing you to mix colour schemes or create a feature. Our award winning bathroom designers at EKCO will advise you on the best kind of tiles to suit your particular kitchen whether you live in Edinburgh, Lothians or elsewhere in Scotland.

The long lifespan of kitchen tiles means that they should be regarded as an investment rather than a cost, ceramic tiles are completely waterproof straight out of the box and can be used for splashbacks behind a sink or hob, flooring or just for decorative purposes.

Tiles can also be made from travertine, porcelain and slate although they will require sealing. When trying to achieve the perfect look, as a rule of thumb, if you have a fairly small kitchen then go for smaller tiles as they will make the area seem bigger.

Don’t be afraid to mix complementary or contrasting colours to suit your units or appliances or go for an earthy, natural feel using slate or travertine tiles. Ceramic or patterned porcelain tiles can add a touch of opulence. And remember, if a tile breaks then you can replace it rather than having to change the whole wall.
