Is the current hot weather making you yearn for the cool tile floors that are common in Europe? As well as keeping cool in hot temperatures, there are many other benefits of tile floors which you should consider if you’re looking to replace your home floor coverings.
Floor tiles are either porcelain or ceramic and are harder wearing than wall tiles.
Six benefits of tile floors
1. Easy maintenance
Tile floors are easy to maintain as they can resist stains, odours and dirt. Any spills can easily be cleaned up with a damp cloth. They require less maintenance than wooden flooring, which often requires regular re-sanding and sealing.
2. Durability
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are incredibly durable and long-lasting. They’re the perfect option for flooring which has to withstand heavy traffic.
3. Easy to clean
Carpets collect dirt and debris and require lots of effort to keep them clean. Tiles can simply and easily be swept and mopped to keep them clean and looking pristine.
4. Suitable for all areas
Tiles can be used to floor any room in your home. They work especially well in kitchens and bathrooms where there is moisture and can often be spillage.
5. Healthy
Tiles are fired in high-temperature kilns, meaning they carry little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can contribute to a wide variety of health problems. Also, their hard surface means they don’t tend to attract dirt, pollen, dust or other allergens nor harbour bugs.
6. Variety
With so many tiles to choose in terms of shape, size, colour and texture you’re sure to find a style of floor tile that suits your interior design.
