Why ceramic tiles?

Why ceramic tiles have successfully beaten carpet market recently? Why they are being preferred over carpets and other types of floor tiles including rubber, PVC and vinyl tiles despite they are a bit expensive?

• Ceramic tiles have water absorption rate of 0.5-10% and this special factor makes them highly resistant to chemicals, scratches, and very difficult to break.  Following are some other proved facts that make you prefer ceramic tiles over other alternatives.
• These can be used in kitchen as some of the the tiles are specially made slip resistant to be used in kitchens, bathrooms and other slippery areas alike. Ceramic tiles give a very fabulous look to your bath rooms. Now, very beautiful tiles are available specially designed for bathrooms and wash-rooms. Different and yet further beautiful designs and patterns are available for bathroom walls which give them an extraordinary look!
• When you go for carpets or other kinds of flooring, except for wood flooring, after one or a couple of years mostly washing or cleaning becomes necessary. However, in case of ceramic tiles daily wash and cleaning is enough or you can just use polish every couple of years to make the floor look like it did on the very first day!
• Cleaning and washing of tiles is yet very easy of course, and in no way comparable to carpets or other floors like wooden tiles and PVC tiles.
• Of course, you can’t think of using vinyl or rubber material as well as carpets but ceramic tiles in your garages and places where there is heavy or rough movement and use of water or other liquids.

So, here’s an advice for you when going to make your purchase for  ceramic tiles. Although tiles from China are quite cheaper and may be not too bad in quality.

An Important Advice

How could I finish it before giving you a couple of important tips about how to design your floor or wall with ceramictiles! Here are some important ideas about the different sizes that should be used perfectly. For an attractive floor,  only 1m X 1m tiles (1sq.mtrs/tile) should be used. As 12 X 12 is now out of trend and 18 X 18 is suitable for wooden planks. For walls, only 12” X 12” (1sq.ft/tile) should be used.

Hire the expert fixers as a newbie will probably make the mess of your floor. All ceramic tiles  should be in level and all the tiles should be in a straight line horizontally and vertically. Once I had chosen the expensive ceramics tiles for one of my room’s floor and unfortunately got an inexperienced fixer. He left the same defect while fixing as mentioned above. I now having no choice but to regret whenever I see my apparently spoiled floor with the most expensive ceramic tiles.

Wooden Flooring

Besides ceramics tiles, wooden tiles are trending and best choice for a floor. Wooden tiles are mostly being preferred in offices and bedrooms. Now a day, bamboo flooring has been introduced and is often used as an alternative for wooden tiles. Wooden flooring comparatively has more elasticity and flexibility than bamboo flooring. Although bamboo flooring is a little cheaper and so the quality is lower. So, when you are going to make your purchase for wooden flooring, make sure it’s wood and not bamboo.

Wooden tiles are available in wide range of sizes/dimensions and styles. The most beautiful and preferable size is 6”*48” which is widely known as plank. This is the most used size globally.

There is a choice either to go for underlay or not. Now it depends if the noise of wood is desired while walking or not. Although mostly people use underlay which minimizes the sound but there are many who want the noise and don’t use underlay. There’s no negative effect on the floor in case underlay is not used.
