The right flooring material can make a big difference in the value and comfort of your Houston home. Tile flooring is one of the most popular types of floors that we install a Flooring Pros. Today, we're talking about why our customers prefer tile and its benefits.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Tile is ideal for high-traffic areas, as it's stain-resistant and not as susceptible to wear and tear like other kinds of flooring. Ceramic tiles have a glaze that makes them waterproof, perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. Just be careful not to drop heavy objects on your tile, as they can crack.
Cost-Effective
Ceramic tiles are one of the cheapest flooring surfaces. When you factor in both the initial cost of the tiles and the installation and then consider the longevity and low maintenance of tiles, they're often worth every penny. If you're planning to sell your home in the future, replacing carpet or laminate flooring with tile can also add value to your home.
Eco-Friendly
Most tile is crafted from glass, sand, or clay, sustainable raw materials that are also eco-friendly. Plus, these materials may help lower your home's utility bills, as they help keep your house cool during long, hot Houston summers. In addition, tiles are fired in kilns at high temperatures, ensuring they contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are linked to various health problems, so tile may help improve your indoor air quality, too.
