Choosing the right flooring is one of the most important decisions for any home or property. The floors you select affect not only the overall look of your space but also its durability, maintenance, and long-term value. For Irish homes, where weather conditions and daily use are key considerations, selecting the right tiles is particularly important.

TILEX, a 100% Irish-owned company, specializes in indoor and outdoor tiles, luxury wood flooring, and complete bathroom solutions. By sourcing directly from factories to our showrooms, TILEX ensures premium-quality materials at competitive prices.

Why Flooring Choice Matters

Flooring is more than just a design element; it’s a long-term investment. High-quality tiles and flooring solutions combine style, durability, and functionality, maintaining their appearance for years while withstanding everyday wear.

Whether you’re renovating a bathroom, upgrading a kitchen, or completing a new build, the right flooring ensures comfort, safety, and aesthetic appeal.

Matching Tiles to Space and Usage

Every room in your home has unique requirements. Choosing tiles suitable for each space helps ensure durability and reduces maintenance over time:

• Kitchens and Living Areas: High-traffic areas need durable, easy-to-clean tiles that resist impact and spills.

• Bathrooms and En-Suites: Safety is critical; slip-resistant tiles reduce the risk of accidents in wet conditions.

• Outdoor Patios and Walkways: Irish weather demands tiles that are frost- and rain-resistant, while maintaining grip and longevity.

• Apartments and Rental Properties: Low-maintenance, durable tiles withstand heavy use and frequent tenants.

Texture and Finish

When choosing tiles, the texture and finish play a key role in safety, appearance, and usability:

• Glossy Finishes: Ideal for walls or luxury areas; they reflect light and create a polished look.

• Matte and Textured Finishes: Perfect for floors in busy areas, offering better grip and concealing dirt or marks.

Visiting a TILEX showroom in Dublin, Cork, Drogheda, or Mallow allows you to feel the materials firsthand, ensuring the finish meets your needs.

Size, Pattern, and Layout

Tile size and pattern can dramatically influence the perception of a space:

• Large-Format Tiles: Fewer grout lines create a continuous surface, making rooms feel open and balanced.

• Patterned or Varied Tiles: Add depth and texture, creating natural, stone-like appearances that enhance both residential and commercial spaces.

Planning the layout ahead of installation ensures tiles complement the room dimensions and style.

Complete Property Solutions with TILEX

Beyond the tiles themselves, flooring projects require materials, accessories, and professional installation. TILEX provides all-in-one packages to simplify the process:

• Diamond Package (€7,999): Covers ground and first floors, including premium tiles, water-resistant laminate, acoustic underlay, and carpet for new homes between 90–110 m².

• Gold Package (€4,999): Includes laminate flooring, acoustic underlay, and carpet with optional splashbacks and countertops.

These packages reduce stress and ensure a high-quality finish, including skirting board removal, door refitting, and professional installation.

The TILEX Wholesale Advantage

In Ireland, higher price doesn’t always mean better quality. Many products pass through multiple intermediaries, increasing cost without improving durability. TILEX sources directly from trusted factories, providing premium materials at competitive prices. This wholesale advantage allows homeowners, developers, and commercial clients to access superior flooring without paying retail markups.

Technical Finishes and Long-Term Maintenance

Professional installation isn’t just about laying tiles, it’s about attention to detail. Height differences, skirting boards, and door clearances are carefully managed to ensure a polished, functional finish.

Long-term maintenance is also essential. TILEX tiles and laminates are designed to withstand Irish weather, heavy foot traffic, and frequent cleaning, making them ideal for family homes, rental properties, and commercial spaces. Easy-to-clean surfaces maintain their appearance while reducing ongoing upkeep.
