UK cinemas are experiencing something of a renaissance period. State of the art multi screen cinemas attract millions of people each week in the UK alone. The introduction of 3D and recent Box Office hits like ‘Avatar’ and ‘The Hangover’ have also helped to increase popularity. No corner is cut in the creation of stylish modern cinema interiors. From worktops, to walls and floors – only the very best is acceptable. At Tiles Porcelain we have a premium quality range of quartz, porcelain and granite tiles, which are ideal for cinema designs. Our natural stone granite and engineered quartz have all been highly polished and are resilient against stains and scratches. Porcelain tiles are available in both polished and matt finishes. These tiles are perfect for high traffic areas and are also easy to clean and maintain. Quartz and granite are also available as worktop applications.

Walk down any High Street in the UK today and you’re almost guaranteed to see a continental style cafe. Over the past 15 to 20 years there has been a huge influx of such establishments which are heavily influenced by Mediterranean culture and lifestyle. Many have even replaced traditional ‘Greasy spoons’ – with croissant’s and Panini’s now the alternatives to English breakfast’s and chip butties! Continental cafes invariably have both indoor and outdoor seating areas so that customers can enjoy the best of both worlds – unless it’s raining of course!

The decors of continental cafes in the UK have a heavy influence from countries such as Spain, France and Italy. This means that tiles are the number one – and in some cases the only – choice for walls, floors and exterior areas. Tiles Porcelain supply a quality range of natural stone Travertine, Granite, Slate and Sandstone tiles that are ideal for continental cafes. You can order samples of these tiles online or by ringing our sales team on 0191 378 38 96.

In bathrooms and kitchens it is important that your wall and floor design is complemented by an appropriate worktop application. Worktops protrude from the wall and are therefore often the first thing people notice when they walk into a room so it is important to choose a colour and style that fits within your overall design theme. Sometimes it is a good idea to make a decision on your worktops and kitchen and bathroom units first, before contemplating your wall and floor decor. This will provide you with a base upon which to work from and will help you make your mind up with regards to the look you wish to create.

Tiles Porcelain supplies natural stone granite and engineered quartz worktops at incredibly low prices. There are a range of colours and styles to choose from. All of these worktops have been highly polished and are therefore extremely easy to clean and maintain. Our hard wearing and durable worktops are scratch and stain resistant as well as being resilient to heat exposure.

Atomic Wheels are a specialist supplier of tyres and alloy wheels and also provide a state-of-the-art refurbishment and painting service.

When the company moved to new premises in Milton Keynes last year, creating a stylish showroom in which to showcase their impressive range of products was top of the agenda.

At Tiles Porcelain we were therefore delighted to supply the Crystalstone Midnight Black Quartz tiles for this exciting project.

Company Director, Darren Innocent said it was a joint decision between himself and his business partner in choosing the tiles and then explained why they opted to buy from Tiles Porcelain.

Darren said: “The reason we made the purchase from Tiles Porcelain was because of the competitive price.

“The service provided by Tiles Porcelain was faultless.” he added.

It had been an ambition of Darren’s to have a place where customers could come and buy products as well as getting them repaired all under the same roof.

He said: “We had this idea a long time ago and thought it would work well if we opened up a retail wheel and tyre outlet.

The highly polished black quartz tiles supplied by Tiles Porcelain have been installed in the showroom and reception areas at Atomic Wheels and Darren has no regrets over the decision to choose these stylish and hard wearing tiles.

“We are very happy with the tiles.” he said.

“Atomic wheels love the look of these tiles and our customers always comment on how good the floor looks.”

He added: “They are quite hard to keep clean but we were aware of this when we ordered the tiles.”

Atomic Wheels were so happy with the end result that they have already ordered more tiles from Tiles Porcelain for a future project.

Let’s be honest, it’s not nice getting out of bed on a cold, dark winter morning. What can make it even worse is walking into the bathroom and feeling the freezing cold floor beneath your bare feet. Don’t despair though, because there is a solution to this and it comes in the form of an Electric Under Floor Heating Mat.

These electric mats can be easily installed under tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories, hallways, living, rooms, dining areas and even bedrooms. They are compatible with a range of engineered and natural stone tiles, including; Porcelain, Travertine, Ceramic, Granite, Marble, Limestone and Slate.

Furthermore, this under floor heating system is cost effective as it is 50% cheaper to install than hot water heating systems. The electric mats are also less expensive to run. Labour costs are also at a minimum because you can install the mat yourself but you do require a qualified electrician to connect the system to the mains supply.

So there you have it! Instead of dreading winter mornings you can now look forward to the warmth and comfort provided by Electric Under Floor Heating Mats.
