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.
