TILED FLOOR CLEANING
CERAMIC TILED FLOORS
Ceramic tiles are usually made using red or white clay and are finished with a hardwearing glaze that carries through the colour and the pattern of the completed tile, but sometimes these tiles can be dyed to create different colours. Ceramic tiles are a great option for walls or flooring where there is not a lot of traffic. If they are not looked after correctly, cleaned professionally and expertly maintained, they can be susceptible to chipping.
TILED FLOOR CLEANING
PORCELAIN TILED FLOORS
Porcelain tiles are a lot denser than ceramic tiles and so they are a little more durable. This means the tiles are tougher, harder and smoother. Glazed porcelain tiles are even tougher and therefore handle wear and tear. This makes porcelain tiles the perfect choice for those high traffic areas such as hallways and kitchens. You can usually find porcelain tiles in either matte, polished or unglazed finish.
TILED FLOOR CLEANING
QUARRY TILED FLOORS
Quarry tiles are made up of ground up minerals and is a water repellent tile. Quarry tiles don’t have a glazed surface like porcelain or ceramic tiles. The most popular colour found in quarry tiles is red but can be found in various other colours too. Also, because quarry tiles are not glazed, there is the option of having them sealed. Whatever the type of quarry tile you have, Hemming’s have the expert knowledge to clean them effectively.
TILED FLOOR CLEANING
TERRACOTTA TILED FLOORS
Terracotta tiles are also made from clay, usually red and brown clays. The processes in which terracotta tiles are made, make them hard and durable enough to serve as flooring. Terracotta tiles in their natural state absorb water very quickly and easily, which make them susceptible to rot and mould, so often, terracotta tiles are sealed to help protect them from damage.

VICTORIAN MINTON TILED FLOORS
Often uncovered in hallways, these floors were mainly laid from the late 19th century right up to until the late 1940s. Sometimes these tiles have been covered for years and can look a little worse for wear, but do not fear all is not lost, it is possible for the floor to be restored and even replace a few tiles that might be missing.
