Hello World! Welcome Friends! Whether you are tackling a remodeling project or building a brand-new home, selecting the right flooring is an important part of the process. Tile flooring remains a popular option for many homes, especially for covering areas that may receive frequent moisture such as the bathroom, kitchen, mudroom, or laundry room. There are many great reasons to choose tile over other flooring types. If you are unsure of whether or not tile could be the right choice for your home, read on to learn some of the most powerful reasons to choose tile. That way you will be equipped to decide if tile could be the perfect flooring type for some or all of the rooms in your home!
1.) Long Lasting Durability
First of all, tile is loved because it is incredibly durable. As such, it can typically withstand heavy foot traffic without showing signs of wear and tear. This makes it a great option for high traffic areas of the home such as the living room or an entryway. Thus, investing in tile is an investment that will more than pay for itself overtime as you won’t need to worry about frequent replacement. As a matter of fact, most tile is replaced simply because the homeowner becomes tired of the same flooring rather than an issues with the tile itself, making tile a wise investment.
2.) Wide Variety of Options
From porcelain to ceramic to natural stone, there are countless types of tile types available on the market today. No matter what type of aesthetic you are trying to achieve with your home’s design, there is a tile option available that can help you create your desired look. Not to mention, tile flooring is available in numerous colors, sizes, and patterns so you can mix and match until you have achieved the perfect look for your home.
3.) Easy Maintenance
Compared to other types of flooring, tiles are relatively easy to care for. Simply sweep and mop the floor regularly and your tile should remain in great condition for many years to come. Better yet, should you get behind on maintenance leading to dirt or grime becoming deeply embedded on the surface of your tile, you can easily use a scrub brush or even some diluted vinegar to help remove the build-up, so that your tile can be fully restored to its original glory once more.
If this wasn’t enough of a reason to love tile, it also provides an easy to clean surface for those with little ones or pets who may make frequent messes. Instead of trying to get accidents or spills out of the carpet, all the while worrying about sanitization, tile can be easily wiped up and disinfected, so you can get back to your day. Best yet, you won’t have to worry that these little spills and accidents will cause permanents stains in your carpet, since tile won’t hold onto stains or odors!
4.) Ease of Installation
Generally speaking, tile is one of the easiest forms of flooring to install. Thus, it should be simple to find a qualified installer, who can quickly and efficiently get the job done. That way you aren’t stuck waiting for weeks on end to move into your home or have your renovation project finished, just because you are stuck waiting for your flooring installation to be completed.
5.) Cost Effective
Tile is a cost-effective solution for homeowners who want to enjoy the benefits of beautiful flooring without breaking their budget. Even when you factor in the cost of installation and flooring together, tile can be a much more affordable option than many of the other types of flooring on the market today, such as hardwood. Plus, with its durability comes an added assurance that you won’t need to replace the flooring any time soon, which can help you save even more money in the long run.
6.) Won’t Become Damaged when Exposed to Moisture
Tile is water resistant meaning it can handle a variety of spills or moisture ridden conditions without becoming damaged. As such, it is an ideal choice for bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and even children’s playrooms. The fact that tile won’t become damaged when exposed to moisture also makes it a great option for outdoor areas, such as patios or pool decks. Regardless of where you choose to put tile, you can rest easy, knowing that kids splashing in the bathtub, or a leaky dishwasher won’t destroy your tile flooring.
7.) Hygienic Option
Tile is a hygienic flooring option, as the material doesn’t harbor allergens, dust, or dirt. This makes it a great choice for those with breathing conditions, such as allergies or asthma. Instead of contaminants becoming deeply embedded in the flooring, regular sweeping and mopping can easily keep your home allergen free when you choose tile flooring.
8.) Easy to Repair
In the unlikely event that a section of your tile does become damaged, tiles are easy to repair. Simply find a matching tile and the damaged tile can be easily switched out for the new one. Better yet, if you have extra tile left over from the original installation, you won’t need to spend more money on new materials for the repair job. Thus, you won’t have to worry if a small area becomes damaged, as tile can easily, and cost effectively be repaired without replacing the entire floor.
9.) Adds Equity to Your Home
Tile flooring is an easy way to increase the equity of your home as it is a highly sought after flooring option, due to its many benefits and ability to be easily sterilized between new occupants of the home. Therefore, if you ever decide to sell your home, you may be able to get a better return on your investment, as well as help make your home more attractive to potential buyers simply by choosing tile.
10.) Aesthetically Pleasing
Last but not least, tile is a great option because it simply looks good. Due to tile’s great versatility, you can easily find tile that mimics the look of other flooring types for a more durable and cost-effective solution, without sacrificing appearance or elegance. Create something simple or sophisticated, as the sky is truly the limit when you choose tile flooring for your home!
In conclusion, tile flooring is an excellent option for homeowners who want a durable, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing solution for their flooring needs.
