KEIGHLEY & ACROSS WEST YORKSHIREPorcelain & ceramic.
Porcelain & ceramic.
Carefully considered.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles offer an enormous range of colours, textures and formats. The challenge is finding the right combination for your room, then laying it out with care.
Discuss your porcelain & ceramic
A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH
The right tile, in the right place, carefully set out.
From a simple ceramic wall tile to a wood-effect porcelain floor, Original Tile focuses on how the material works in the space. Tile size, grout joints, edge details and the relationship to doors and fittings all shape the finished result.
Let’s consider the whole room.
- Porcelain and ceramic walls and floors
- Large-format tiles and plank-style layouts
- Decorative inserts, borders and feature panels
- Material, finish and grout colour discussions
BEFORE THE FIRST TILEA little planning.

Bring the product name, tile dimensions and supplier specification to your enquiry if you have already chosen a tile. Floor suitability, wet-area use and installation requirements vary between products, even when the tiles look similar.

BEFORE WE BEGIN
Porcelain & ceramic. Your questions.
Every room is different. If your question is more specific, ask Dave.
What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic?
Both are manufactured tiles, but their characteristics and intended uses differ by product. Porcelain is often chosen for floors and wet areas, while many ceramic tiles are intended for walls. Always check the specific product information rather than relying on the label alone.
Do large tiles make a small room look bigger?
They can create a calmer appearance with fewer visible joints, but awkward cuts can undermine the effect. Compare the tile size with the room dimensions and the positions of doors, windows and fittings before deciding.
Can you install a black-insert hallway pattern?
The gallery includes a porcelain hallway with contrasting inserts. Similar layouts can be discussed using your room dimensions and chosen products, with the pattern set out before installation begins.
Should I buy extra tiles?
Cuts, the laying pattern and future repairs affect the quantity required. Agree the allowance with your supplier and tiler before ordering, and try to keep the same batch for the whole installation.
