How To Create A Warm, Inviting Floor In Time For Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching and your home is nowhere near ready – it’s a lost cause, and best left until the new year, right? Wrong. Thanks to our expertise and wide range of products available here at Tile Choice, we’ve knocked together a handy bit of advice to make your new flooring winter friendly, and stand the test of time all year round.

Step 1: Colour & Design Choice

With the weather getting colder, you’re going to want to bear this in mind when choosing your floor tiles – you want something that’ll work universally all year round, so it should create a cold feel in the room. If the perception of the room is ‘cold’ then that’s how people will feel – you need to complement the actual warmth in the room with warming colour schemes and design choices.

For bathrooms, we have a great range of brown and red quartz tiles which are comfortable under the foot, have a great colour scheme to create a feeling of warmth and give an overall premium appearance. For something like a kitchen or conservatory, we have a great range of soft coloured ceramic tiles and warm red quarry tiles to create this feel.

Step 2: Treatment & Grouting

With winter comes the colder, wetter weather as well as snow and ice – all this means more water being brought into your home and onto your floors, particularly on your shoes. With this in mind, you’ll need to make sure that your new flooring is adequately protected against water to avoid water damage and mould build-up.

We stock (and would recommend) a number of Fila Fugaproof products to ensure proper protection and treatment; you can find them in the accessories section of our website here.

Step 3: Underfloor Heating

While you’re in the process of laying new flooring, wherever in your home it might be, now is the perfect opportunity to install an incredibly efficient, effective and comfortable heating system. As well as being a fantastic space saver (say goodbye to radiators!) underfloor heating is also very efficient, as it heats from the ground up – meaning little of the room’s heat is lost into the ceiling. The end result is a warm, comfortable room and potentially lower heating bills.

If you’re looking to get your home newly renovated in the run-up to Christmas, then make sure our products are your first port of call. By choosing treatment products, underfloor heating and floor tiles from Tile Choice, we can guarantee a quality floor that you can fit in time for the festive season, but will stand the test of time too.
