"No! Wall tiles are not designed to be used on a floor, they are effectively decorative only. The glaze would wear and crack if fixed to the floor as in all probability would the tile body"

"A large proportion of the wall tile range we stock come with coordinating floor tiles. There is a real demand for coordinating wall and floor tiles and our factories have responded by making coordinated ranges. The displays are clearly labeled in our showrooms and our sales staff will be happy to help you"

"Where you put your motif tile in a room is very much down to personal preference. As a guide use them as a feature. Fix them above your bath, in a shower or between a hob and cooker-hood"

"How many motif tiles you use in a room is very much down to personal preference but try and get an even balance with a random spread across the whole area to be tiled"

"If you are fixing a single row of borders to a room they are normally fixed at dado height approximately 1.2m above floor level. You can also fix a double border with a second row of borders running one tile down from the ceiling. Manufacturers have responded to this trend by making larger borders to run at dado height with a smaller border or pencil to run around just below ceiling height"

"Big tiles actually make a room look larger! Its an optical illusion, but smaller tiles, with a greater grid of grout lines draw a room in, while a larger area and fewer grout lines of larger tiles open the room out"

"Yes you can tile over existing tiles. As a rule use ready mixed acrylic adhesives for walls and single part rapid flex for floors. It does depend upon your individual circumstances but this is a standard practice and we stock the relevant adhesives in our showrooms. Make sure that the tiles which you are fixing to are secure, our sales staff will be able to advise you further"

"To calculate the number of border tiles you require you need to measure the total length of the wall around which the border will run. Remember to subtract the gaps such as doors. Take the length of the border tile and divide it into the total length of the walls around the room"

"Borders and motif tiles are more expensive because they have undergone a further manufacturing process at the decorating plant away from the main tile factory. There are additional material, labour, manufacturing and transport costs involved"

"You can mix borders in particular with different tiles. However, it is wise to bear in mind that most factories manufacture plain tiles only, they send out to specialist design studios and decorating factories who are completely in tune with fashions and trends and have the eye for detail and the experience to match a plain tile with a decorative feature successfully"

"The best way to find out what size of trim you require is to offer up a tile to the trim. The rule of thumb is to choose a trim a couple of millimeters deeper than the thickness of the tile to allow for adhesive"

"We have a list of local tradesmen in all our showrooms which to can contact and arrange a visit to your to asses the job, measure up and give you a quote"

"We only close four days every year, Christmas Eva, Christmas Day, New years Eve and New Years Day. We are open every other day of the year"

"We are delighted to offer you FREE of charge samples to take away and you can keep them as long as you like. If you wish to take a decorative border or motif tile there will be a charge, however, you can offset this against a purchase or we will give you a full refund on its return"

"Yes you can use tiles for a fire place. It would be wise to select a fully vitrified tile particularly on the hearth. You may find that the glaze cracks if you use a normal glassed wall tile "
