Stylish ceramic tile adds boldness and charm to any space
Flexible, modern ceramic tiles can be used just about anywhere –from walls to floors, from backsplashes to countertops. With a classic, attractive look that’s never dated, ceramic tile is manufactured in a wide array of colors, sizes, and designs. Though quickly gaining in popularity, the truth is that tiles have always been a true favorite for centuries when it came to redesigned options. Let’s go over a few more reasons why tiles might be the best option for your upcoming home renovation.
Waterproof
Designed with several protective layers, glazed tiles are indeed waterproof. As such, they are also naturally stain-resistant and can withstand humid, wet conditions. Because of these characteristics, ceramic tile makes an excellent choice for bathrooms and kitchens–spaces that experience substantial spills and messes. Alternately, unglazed tiles are a good choice as they are protected with sealants when manufactured. When opting for unglazed, however, do request added protection for the grout between the tiles, to reduce the growth of mold.
Durability
For countless generations, tiles have been the installation of choice all over the world. Baked at high temperatures to ensure sturdy construction, their hard-wearing material doesn’t easily succumb to cracking or chipping. You’ll easily appreciate your flawless tiles for decades if properly cared for. Yet, if some minor damage does occur, rest assured your tile can be easily removed and replaced by a professional.
Upkeep
Perhaps what’s most appreciated is the simple upkeep required for tiles. A ceramic installation, for instance, is very quick to clean. With a soft, clean cloth and soapy water, you can easily remove caked-on dirt and most stains. In terms of maintenance, it is highly recommended to clean the tiles regularly, to not only remove soil but also leave the tiles shiny.
Designs
Homeowners who wish to redesign their homes will no doubt appreciate the wide range of designs. With a multitude of patterns, colors, sizes, and glazes, you can customize your rooms to your liking. What’s more, tiles can easily blend in with other types of tiles and even other types of installation materials, because they're so very flexible style-wise.
