Tile flooring is a popular choice for homeowners looking to renovate their homes. There are several benefits of tile flooring that make it an attractive option.
Tile flooring is durable and easy to maintain. It is a good choice for homes with pets or children because it is easy to clean and does not show wear and tear as other types of flooring. Depending of your choice, tile flooring can also help to improve the value of your home.
Ceramic tiles are a popular choice for house renovations because they are durable and low-maintenance. Affordability and durability make ceramic the ideal choice for any room in your home, including the bathroom, kitchen, and front entrance.
A ceramic tile is made from clay. The clay is first shaped into the desired tile shape and then dried. After the tile is dried, it is fired in a kiln at high temperatures, which bonds the clay particles together and gives the tile its strength.
Ceramic tiles are available in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes, making them a versatile option for indoor and outdoor applications. They are used on floors, walls, backsplashes, countertops, and more.
Porcelain is a finer example of clay ceramic tile. Made of a higher ratio of silica and quartz, and baked or fired at a higher temperature, porcelain tiles are more durable. They are usually used on floors, but can also be installed on walls and countertops.
Porcelain tiles are more durable and stain-resistant than other types of ceramic tile. They are also available in many different colours, sizes, and shapes. One recent innovation with porcelain tile is the ability to manufacture them to resemble different materials.
These tiles are very popular because glazed, etched, and texturized porcelain tiles can look like hardwood planks, expensive marble, or industrial bricks.
Compared to other tiles, glass tiles have the highest stain resistance, and are even impenetrable by red wine and acidic lemon juice. But they are relatively ease to chip and crack if something is dropped on it, so this type of tile works best on wall.
Carrara marble quarry in Italy
Marble tiles are made from a metamorphic rock, composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals. The most common type of marble tile is the white Carrara marble, quarried in Italy. Other popular types of marble include the black Marquina marble and the green Verde Guatemala marble.
They are usually used on floors, but can be also on walls, countertops, and other surfaces. Marble tiles are available in many colours and patterns, making them popular for home renovations.
Marble tiles are durable and easy to care for, making them popular for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Marble tiles can be polished to a high shine or left matte for a more natural look.
Granite is an igneous rock that gets formed when exposed to high heat. Granite tiles are very dense and robust. Its density and durability make granite highly resistant to damage or signs of wear. Its structure is crystalline, and it contains quartz, mica, and feldspar minerals. With its naturally appearing specks and flecks of color engrained within, granite is another natural rock tile used both in countertops as well as in flooring.
