The benefits of tiled floors in your kitchen
If you flip through any home renovation magazine, you’re sure to see tiles making an impact in homes. This flooring has stood the test of time for good reason.
Have your pick of styles: Tiles come in a range of colours, sizes, textures, and styles. You can even get tiles that mimic the look of wood. With so many options, you can craft your style, whether it’s classic or contemporary.
Walk without fear: Tiles are an important choice for flooring in high-traffic areas, making them perfect for your kitchen. They can repel scratches and won’t fade or wear out in a hurry. With careful maintenance, tiles can last for several years and still retain their stunning appearance.
Get a durable option: Tiles made from high-quality materials will be a welcome addition to your home. They resist damage from insects like termites, water, fire, and stains.
Clean your floor effortlessly: Tiles can easily be swept, wiped clean, or vacuumed to remove any dirt, debris, and spills in your kitchen. You don’t need any special chemicals and can often get away with plain water and a mop. This flooring is a great help if you like fuss-free cleaning and maintenance.
Repair any potential damage: Because tiles are done in sections, you can easily repair any cracked or broken tiles without having to do your entire kitchen flooring. When you buy your tiles, you will likely have some left over that can be used to make fixes.
Enjoy good health: Because tiles resist germs, it’s perfect if you suffer from any allergies or respiratory issues. They don’t absorb moisture, preventing mould from growing. Tiles can be easily disinfected to keep your home healthy. You can even integrate underfloor heating to boost your kitchen’s comfort level all year round.
Prevent slips or skids: Falling on tiles can be a concern, but thanks to new designs you can find options that have rougher or slip-resistant finishes. You can also use special sprays that give your tiles a slip-resistant coating.
Embrace your green values: Because tiles are made from raw materials like sand, glass, stone, and clay, they are easier on the environment. This makes them more attractive compared to man-made materials like plastics which create harmful emissions during production.
Go easy on your bank balance: Tiles can be much more affordable than other options on the market, especially if you factor in their durability. By lasting for longer, you will save on a future renovation.
As such a common fixture in homes, it can be easy to overlook the value of kitchen tiles. Their looks, practicality, affordability, and a host of other benefits make them an undeniably superb choice to create a foundation for your kitchen.
