I have a massive slate tile floor that I hate
Comments (18)Seriously you need to check out the Kerlite cladding. No need to sand, the variety is huge even wood look. All you need to do is put on a thicker screed. As I said you do need a tiler that has laid it before. Once it's down, it will never break. Google it, the range is amazing and really beautiful. I did ask the tiler about using it over slate and he said not a problem. Got mine from tile expo....See MoreThis is a pic of my floor tile...it is light grey. What colour walls?
Comments (16)I work as a colourist and the easiest method for a upmarket look is to choose an exact colour to match one of the colours in the tile. I would take the tile to a paint shop and get the colourist it match exactly one of the greys in the tile. Make the depth of the colour a light version. All white walls are on the way out. Lappatto tiles usually have some texture as they are semi polished. This is the latest look in tiles as they give a shine without the maintenance of polished porcelain which had been in. They are usually less slippery than satin or polished tiles depending on the brand....See Moreslate floor in kitchen, stay or go
Comments (8)I would definitely keep the slate. Put the money you would spend into the kitchen. Slate is a natural stone. Natural stone is nicer than cheap ceramic tiles that will date in a few years. It never needs replacing like vinyl or timber which end up getting worn areas. To refresh slate you just need to recoat it and it comes up like new.

Comments (16)Since your tiles are NOT laid on a diagonal, they will not look dated. I would be concerned about the areas of floor that are used constantly. Eg: kitchen. Would the paint, overtime, be worn off. Laminate flooring would be good. If installing vinyl flooring, just be aware that the grout lines will show, if the tiled floor is not prepared before hand. You need to fill or the grout lines, so they are level with tiles. Maybe also installing an underlay before vinyl flooring. Personally, I don't mind the terracotta tiles. With the right wall colour and furnishings they look wonderful....See MoreSian Sampey
