Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are a popular choice for flooring due to their durability and affordability. They are made from clay and other natural materials that are fired at high temperatures. Ceramic tiles are strong and scratch-resistant, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and hallways.

Although many people mix-up ceramic and porcelain tiles, they are in fact different materials that hold different benefits. Ceramic tiles are considerably less dense than porcelain tiles, which makes them easier to cut into different shapes and sizes; however, it means they&#;re also less durable than porcelain tiles. If faced with heavy impact, ceramic tiles can chip/break, which can deter customers from choosing ceramic tiles.

To increase the durability of ceramic tiles, choose a ceramic glaze for your tiles. This is a thin layer of material that can be applied to a porcelain and/or ceramic object to give it a protective layer. Glazed ceramic tiles are a great option for all areas from indoor spaces such as bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, to outdoor areas where slip resistance is required.

When it comes down to choosing the most suitable floor tile for high traffic areas in your home, you want to make sure that you are choosing the most durable tiles. Being left with scratched, chipped or cracked floor tiles can really affect the overall appearance of your home.

Porcelain tiles are extremely tough due to their density so you don't have to worry about them becoming damaged. Although porcelain tiles are one of the more expensive tile options, they are extremely long lasting and have a life expectancy of 60+ years! This makes them a great option for high traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens and bathrooms.

Ceramic tiles are another great option for high traffic areas, as they are low maintenance and are resistant to scratches. However, ceramic tiles are quite easy to chip or crack, so you want to make sure that you take extra care when carrying heavy objects or furniture. For this reason, ceramic tiles may not be the best idea for kitchens. Dropping heavy plates or glasses is likely to cause a chip in your ceramic tiles! We recommend using ceramic tiles in other high traffic areas, such as hallways and bathrooms. 

Vinyl tiles are also resistant to scratches and are much cheaper to buy. With the right maintenance, vinyl tiles can last you a long time. Another benefit to vinyl tiles is that they are extremely resistant to stains, making them a great option for kitchens. However, as vinyl tiles are easy to tear, make sure that you do not drag any heavy furniture across the tiles. A nasty tear in your vinyl flooring can result in a whole new floor installation.
