Using ceramic wall tiles in your bathroom is not only one of the most practical, but can be one of the most cost effective ways to finish your bathroom or kitchen.

Ceramic tiles provide not only a durable and stylish finish but an easy to clean an hygienic one.
All ceramic tiles are glazed with either a matt, satin or gloss finish glaze. This glaze is applied to a printed pattern that gives the look of tile and this is printed onto the body or ‘biscuit’ of the tile – this is the ceramic part!

The glaze is needed to make the tile waterproof as the ceramic body of the tile will absorb water, so the glaze should be on the surface and side edges so that when the tiles are grouted all the unglazed areas are covered and waterproof.

If a tile is cut and not sealed correctly with a grout or silicone, water will penetrate into the body and if the tile has a pale or translucent print, it can appear to darken.

TileClick include ceramic tiles by manufacturer British Ceramic Tile, Studio Conran and Laura Ashley, as well as Villeroy and Boch.

Its been an exciiting few months for TileClick and also very busy! So apologies for the lack of blog writing for our regular readers.

Where do we start! On the surface you may notice some changes, our expansion plans have been happening a bit more rapidly than we had anticipated, so over the last few weeks a number of collections have been brought on-line. These include the Continental and Elegance Collections.

Both of these collections have been carefully picked from a selection of hundreds of imported tile ranges. Why did we bring them online, well as the UK’s leading independent online tile reseller, we are always being approached to add new manufatcurers, suppliers, importers etc etc. Its never an easy choice to decide what to choose, so we focus on bathroom wall and floor tiles, kitchen walls and floors and general floor tiles, trying to cover as many bases as we can, to give our customers the best options of high quality tiles, that are backed up by tileclicks exceptional level of service.

We also consider the environmental impact, the UK already has a huge amount of tiles sitting warehouse to be sold, so why should we just add to that? There is no point! So we only target tiles already in the UK, helping reduce our carbon footprint.

In addition, we have to carefully make sure that the products that we put on our site are of a high quality, and this process is reliable, there are many cheap imports that are over priced to mimick a typically better made product, you do get what you pay for – one thing Tileclick ensure is that we are competitive and give good value for money, good product – good prices.

In addition to these two ranges, we are also busy expanding our stock of RAK ceramic products, we have been dealing with RAK for over 4 years now, and as in most instances, again were the first online seller of RAK products. These ceramic and porcelain tiles are extremely elegant and stylish and are made in the UAE.

Another exciting development is to be able to annnounce that we will soon be a key online reseller for Johnson Tiles, a traditional british manufacturer, based in Stoke on Trent, with Pilkongton now gone, and one of the UK’s most commonly known tile manufactures. We are working closely with sales managers and National Directors to produce a unique and stylish collection of tiles from Johnson.

After running our usual checks, TileClick were very happy to discover that we are currently top in the rankings on google organic for ‘Bathroom Tiles’.  This is excellent news and it something we have worked hard to achieve.  TileClick sells a wide range of bathroom tiles, by designers such as Laura Ashley, WET by Hemingway, Tactile by Studio Conran, at fantastic prices.

However TileClick also have a wide range of Kitchen tiles available, from those suitable in a country cottage to a contemporary modern apartment. TileClick have an everchanging sale, with fantastic savings.  We also have a selection of  grouts, adhesives and other tiling accessorises on our website.  Have a look today, to see if TileClick can help you with your bathroom or kitchen.

TileClick are pleased to inform you about our current sale on Laura Ashley tiles by British Ceramic Tile. The sale must end Sunday 31st January 2010, so make sure you don’t miss out on some fantastic offers.  Laura Ashley offers a range of very popular, bathroom and kitchen tiles.  An example is the Isadore range which is a stunning collection of bathroom tiles.  If you want to create a fairly neutral design, this is easy to do so with the Isadore Plain white tile and prehaps a scattering of Isadore Floral white wall tiles.  However if you would like to create more of a feature with your bathroom design, the Isadore Floral Black on White and the Isadore Floral White on Black are ideal for this.

A very popular range of kitchen tiles by Laura Ashley is the Bramley range. These tiles are ideal for a country cottaage environment, with their small format and satin finish.  There are a number of different shades within each colour.  The colours in this range are as follows, Bramley Beige, Bramley Blue, Bramley Grey and Bramley Terracotta.

TileClick always try to stress the importance of ordering a sample before placing a main order.  Therefore, its worth just trying to be a little organised, by ordering a sample sooner rather than later so that you do not have to panic and buy the tile without seeing it, just so that you get the main order before Christmas.  By ordering a sample of a bathroom or kitchen tile, you can check to make sure that it is the right tile for you, rather than just relying seeing an image of it on your computer.
