(selected from TCNA Floor Coverings Comparison)
Ceramic tile creates dynamic first impressions. Even a modest area, indoors or out, can come to life with the color and textures you choose – making ceramic tile one of the savviest design investments. Ceramic tile is not just for bathrooms, kitchens or other wet areas. It gives you the freedom to create a beautiful living or work environment. Here are ten reasons why you should choose ceramic tile for your next decorating project.
1. Best Value-Ceramic tile lasts practically forever, increases your home’s value, needs almost no maintenance, and costs less per square foot than other permanent and long-use flooring options
2. Design Versatility-Luxurious and varied textures, finishes, and patterns combined with clear and true colors can inspire even the most modest “stick-figure” artist. Today’s selection of tile offers a limitless palette of textures, colors, shapes, and styles to create custom expressions.
3. Clean & Healthy Choice-Everyone knows ceramic tile is easy to clean and keep clean! It is inhospitable to dust mites, germs, and bacteria.
4. Durable-Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor gloom of night, nor scuffs from little kids who sort of forgot to take off their rollerblades can mar ceramic tile’s good looks. Ceramic tile, properly selected and installed, has more than nine lives – it will last many lifetimes.
5. Rich Artistic Heritage-Conveying elegance, tranquility, and spirituality, tile has adorned our great buildings through the ages. You can connect to that cultural heritage through the richness of tile.
6. Water-Resistance-Ceramic tile is a perfect choice for areas constantly assaulted by wet towels, toy boats, and dripping umbrellas. Not only can installations of ceramic tile be waterproof, some tiles are designed to provide better traction, making ceramic tile a perfect choice for swimming pools, showers, patios, and other wet areas.*
7. Low Maintenance-No need to worry about muddy paws, spilt milk, and stray chips of hot charcoal. Ceramic tile is practically maintenance-free, as it resists dirt and stains and requires little effort to maintain-just soap and water can thoroughly clean tile surfaces.
8. Fire-Resistance-When considering the safety of your family and friends, you can rest easy knowing that ceramic tile doesn’t bum and give off toxic fumes.
9. Fade-Resistance-Go ahead, open your blinds and awaken to the touch of sunlight, or watch afternoon rays dance across your living room floor. The color of ceramic tile does not fade in sunlight like the organic dyes used in other floor finishes.
10. Natural & Environmental-Ceramic tile has the look and feel of something real, solid, and lasting. It’s a fired mixture of materials from “Mother Earth”.
