Help with flooring

Looking for a large flooring tile that can be used inside and out throughout a building that is stone or concrete like in appearance but does not have a repeated photographic image printed on its surface like all the porcelain tiles I have seen so far. Does anything out there exist like this or do I have to be looking at natural stone which will take a lot of upkeep?

Hello,

We have some porcelain tiles that may be of interest.

Our Cement Porcelain mimics the look of a concrete floor, I have included a picture below that one of our customers sent in where they have used it in their kitchen. It comes in a large 750x750 size.

If that is too big, then our Stucco Marl may be of interest, it comes in 600x300 or 600x600.

They are both quite consistent in colour/finish as that is what a concrete floor is like.

If you wanted a stone effect option, then our Lavello range may be of interest. If you like the grey tones, then the Lavello Grigio would be best. The tiles have a 5sqm repeating pattern, so you will get around 10 different prints, which if you lay in a random way mimic the look of natural stone.

You can order free samples from our website, of if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch via Houzz, email or call.

Good luck with your search!

Forgot to mention on my original post that the external tiles will need to be supported by a pedestal system without grouting as the ground levels are sloping for drainage but the paving must remain horizontal. I think any porcelain tiles of 10mm will be too thin for this system and I will need a 20mm thick exterior tile.

I’m thinking of practicality. It is amazing how quickly a kitchen floor can look dirty. The patterned tiles above would be good for this. I chose oak boards in a distressed finish for mine, it was this or a light ceramic tile. I’ve never regretted it, the boards never look dirty ( the ceramic bathroom tiles as chosen do however take time to keep clean and show every piece of hair).

Could you put it under the stairs and knock through to use the pantry for size? or is it very low?

The bath will need to be a standing tap (if that is correct term) as it’s a freestanding bath and will be under a big window so no tiles behind it. Sink and loo not bought yet so still flexible with that. It’s the loo that’s throwing me really, I can’t imagine it with a gold coloured handle or button? I was planning on a concealed cistern but open to suggestion! I suppose my choice is either commit to the gold throughout or treat it like a bathroom ‘of two halves’ and have my Morrocan-esque shower enclosure and keep the rest of it quite simple with the usual silver fittings. We will probably also have wooden panelling behind the sink and loo as it’s already there where the bath will go. The shower is kind of in its own corner…sorry it sounds so complicated!!

Cut the tiles at each doorway and fit threshold strips, then just remove the tiles in the one room. You'll need some form of threshold if your putting a new floor down as it will be at a different height to the rest of the house.

I don't know much about the pedestal system I'm afraid, but I think you're right in that the tiles need to be 20mm thick.

We are working on sourcing a new range of porcelain tiles in this thickness, but I don't have any images at the moment I'm afraid. Is it something that your hoping to source fairly quickly?

If you want to send your details across to enquiries@floorsofstone.com, then we can keep you updated and hopefully we will have some more information and prices in the next couple of weeks.
