Tiles are best in a warmer climate, if they are out of the direct sun. They are not so good for young children or the elderly. Things dropped tend to break. The bigger the tiles, the more perfectly flat your floor needs to be, otherwise they will crack, so get a pro who is used to laying them.
Thanks for your comments Tribbletrouble, yes we are in Queensland, where most new houses have floor tiles. Tiles are great here, in our house we get the winter sun on the tiles all morning, so that really warms the whole space incredibly, so we don't even have to use a heater at night. I just want to update the look with big tiles, as part of the reno, and like the concrete look.
