love the look of the tile

The description says ‘polished concrete effect’. Is this real concrete, or is it tile that does a really good imitation of concrete? If tile, is it vinyl tile? Or…?

Black splitface tiles - wet or matt look?
Q

Choosing the right sealant for your black splitface tiles can be tricky, but we at tapron can guide you! If your main tiles are light grey, consider how each sealant would look alongside them. The wet-look sealant adds depth and contrast, making a bold statement, especially next to the grey tiles and anthracite radiator. On the other hand, a matt sealant offers a more understated, natural blend, complementing the grey without overpowering it. Whether you choose the dramatic wet look or the subtle matt, Tapron ensures a beautiful finish.

What sort of floor should I put in the kitchen?

All your suggestions sound great, so no help there! I do have porcelain tiles in my kitchen and they are really tough. I think “porcelain” makes people think of delicate tea sets, but it’s baked very hard and not at all delicate. I’ve had mine for 10 years and it’s so easy to look after - hoover and a quick mop. I’m very clumsy and always dropping things which smash into a million pieces when they land on the floor, but floor has always stayed intact. I’ve heard good things about LVT and I have laminate in my living room. It was a quick fix flooring but has fared really well so it’s staying!

Thank you all for your comments. Very much appreciated. My wife is ruling out wood because she doesn't like the look of wood in kitchens and because we have solid wood flooring in the rest of the downstairs area and she thinks it will clash. Picture below of where out kitchen meets the hallway. Also we bought some more of those tiles yesterday to get more of a feel of what it'll look like. It does look pretty good but it does worry us about what type of table and appliance colours we will be able to get and really making it all look a bit drab perhaps? We are leaning towards sticking with relaying the same times the house already has as we have been unable to find any better looking light grey tiles. We do really like them.

Where can I get these tiles from?

Given the "pattern" of the surface goes all the way through, that'd mean real stone/marble would have to be a full - and possibly thick - slab, milled down and then polished to the fluted surface. The price for that, and the substructure/installation cost for a real stone slab of that size and weight, is going to be in the range of "whatever - don't do it if that matters in any way". I mean, crazier things have been done in London for sure, and you'll find natural stone fabricators willing and capable to execute this. I wouldn't preclude a custom commission but agree with others, it's probably a form of large-format porcelain. Have you considered contacting the developer directly ?
