What sort of tiles for a hard wearing, easy to look after tiled Kitchen floor :0)

[Dayzee]

I have been looking around, but not sure which floor tiles will be most hardwearing.

Its a long kitchen (6m by 2m ish)

Any advice welcome.

if it is hard wearing you are after then i would go for a porcelain tile. * *

 

[Gazzer]

Through bodied porcelain would be a good choice for hard wearing.

Porcelain for me also..

Porcelain for sure, the hardest wearing i'v come across are called leonardo cassia beige etc, different colours but even a total pig to cut !Hope I don't see them again, lol

 

[White Room]

Is that with your Sigma..

 

[hillhead]

No dry cutter will cut these buggars, I know a guy who has rubi and monty and they like sigma won't cut them either. Wet cut only, grinder can be funny on them too andThey are extremely hard on blades, wet or dry.. Lol.

Thanks for the responses :0) I'm not bringing elephants through or anything, just want it to be reasonably robust

Will ask advice too from my tiler I guess. Don't want to choose anything that will be a ballache (Oops can I say Ballache?) for the fitter.

A medium dark porcelain tile will last you years.

Found a nice through bodied Porcelain tile at 25 quid /sq metre. I think thats a good price...

Never know your Tiler might get you a discount :smilewinkgrin:

£25 is a fair price tho for good quality.
