As under-floor heating gains in popularity so too do floor tiles, especially for living and dining areas. The Italians do slick rather well and FAP Ceramiche's luxury tiles don't disappoint. In metallic and gloss, their base is pure white which means their colours are much more vibrant and luminous than those on conventional tiles where the base is traditionally dark red. Pictured here is a sitting room floor in Basic Black with a metallic insert. FAP Ceramiche's collection comes in ceramic, porcelain and mosaic finishes, from 31- 94 per sq yard, exclusive to Tubs & Tiles nationwide. See tubstiles. ie for store locations and opening times.
