The Advantages of Tile

Tile is a durable floor covering that can add beauty to any room or space. For those of you who have never considered using tile before, you are going to be amazed at the number of colors, sizes, shapes, and textures from which to choose from. For those of you who have used tile before, but not in the past few years, you won't believe the changes that have taken place in floor and wall tiles. Growth in resources, increased exposure, and advancements in installation technology have brought about the recent growth in popularity of tile.

When choosing a floor covering, consider the following advantages of tile:

  • Design Versatility - any combination of sizes and shapes allows for freedom of expression and custom designs.
  •  
  • Low Maintenance - tile resists dirt and stains, and requires little effort to maintain its new-like appearance.
  •  
  • Water Resistance - glazed or unglazed, the composition of tile permits little or no accumulation of moisture.
  •  
  • Environmentally Friendly - tile is resistant to germs and bacteria, not to mention allergens.
  •  
  • Fire Resistance - tile is essentially burnt clay, which doesn't burn or give off toxic fumes.
  •  
  • Durable - a properly selected tile will outperform most, if not all, non-tile finishes created for the same application.
  •  
  • Beauty - the vast selection of colors, styles, textures, sizes and shapes will add beauty and style to any space or design theme.

Tile is made from many different materials that vary in price and style. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are most common for residential floor applications because they are both economical and practical. They are also made to be frost-resistant and slip-resistant to be used in exterior applications such as decks and walkways.

Natural stone such as granite, marble, and slate provide beautiful accents to fireplaces, foyers, kitchen backsplashes, and tub surrounds. These natural stones are available in various finishes, such as polished, honed, and flamed which provide different effects to the same material.
