Why Tiles Are The Best Flooring Option

Find out why we think tiles are the best flooring option for everyone. With so many flooring options available it can be hard to know what is best so we thought we would look at the advantages and disadvantages of the options available. Wooden flooring, carpet and tiles are the most popular options all with their own pros and cons, of course we think tiles are the best option and you will see why when you read about the advantages.

Whilst wooden flooring looks good and adds a traditional feel to the home it also scuffs very easily and heels are a no go due to this, so despite its elegant and stylish look it isn’t always practical. Carpet is a cosy, comfortable option but stains very easily and isn’t appropriate for many spaces in the home particularly the kitchen, bathroom, utility and other heavy footfall areas.

We believe tiles cannot be put into one category as there is such a huge range available with different finished, sizes, colours and designs. You could use tiles in every room in your house and not one room will look the same. With such a large amount of advantages to a tiled floor we have compiled a list of all these qualities so you can see why tiles are the best flooring option.

Durability

Durability is very important in a flooring option as they need to be long lasting, normally due to the high cost of replacing it. For example if you walk on wooden flooring too many times in heels then eventually it will need replacing at a high cost; or spill some red wine on your cream carpet and a lengthy, intense cleaning process will be needed at a high cost.

When faced with the highest footfall tiled floors will withstand the traffic whether porcelain, ceramic or natural stone whilst looking great they are incredibly durable. Spill what you like on a tile and they won’t stain even using natural stone as there are a range of sealing products available to prevent this.

Versatility

With an increase in materials available and advancing technology new patterns and finishes are always emerging. With the vast amount of patterns available your entire home could be tiled without using the same tile in any room.

Tiles no longer are only suitable for use in the usual areas such as the bathroom and kitchen, wood effect floor tiles with a warm finish look great in a bedroom, not only on the floor but also used as a feature wall. The living room could benefit from a large 60×60 stone effect tile whilst super polished marfil looks great in an entrance hall. Bathroom and kitchen tiles have moved on greatly in the past 15 years with the popular brick effect tile giving a rustic look, to patterned vintage tiles creating a bold statement.

Low Maintenance

Many flooring options can require lots of cleaning and collect dust easily, tiles are incredibly easy to maintain requiring only a quick clean to stop dust, dirt and stains forming. No steam cleaning will be required unlike with carpets. The reason tiles are so easy to clean is because of the hardness, dust or dirt won’t settle into them unlike carpet or wood which is porous. A quick sweep and mop will have tiles looking brand new.

Eco-Friendly

due to their durability the are incredibly environmentally friendly, tiles are largely made using glass, sand, natural stone and clay, all of which are available in abundance meaning they have a reduced impact on the environment compared to flooring materials like wood.

Tiles also provide an extra form of insulation which will help keep your home warm in the winter and cool int he summer. Therefore you should see the benefit of reduced energy bills along with a reduction in environmental impact due to the lower energy usage.
