A lot of individuals would much rather have floor tiles than they would carpeting or laminate for their home. With Floor tiles, Timber Pines residents can get a durable flooring option that happens to be easier to clean and lasts longer than either laminate or carpet flooring. Yet some styles of tile flooring are more popular than others, and some are considered specialty tiles that are used on rare occasions such as with marble or granite flooring. These floor tiles can come and all shapes and sizes, with many different designs and color schemes to match the inside of your home.
Porcelain Floor Tiles
Without a doubt, the most popular type of floor tiles Timber Pines residents have in their home are porcelain floor tiles. These kinds of tiles are usually made out of clay and are heated with pressure to produce a product that is harder, denser, and less porous than that of regular ceramic tiles. Because porcelain tiles are very strong, they are a great choice for high traffic areas, and also, they are not too hard to clean because they are stain proof and do not absorb or retain stains. They can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, and even living rooms.
Stone Floor Tiles
Unlike porcelain tiles that have to be fired in order to produce a sturdy tile, another alternative of porcelain floor tiles Timber Pines residents should also consider are stone floor tiles. These tiles are made from natural stone materials such as slate, limestone, or travertine. Keep in mind though that unlike that of porcelain floor tiles, stone floor tiles are very porous, and they need to be treated with stone sealer every couple of years in order to make them last. If you are looking for something a little more eye catching, many people choose to polish their stone floor tiles to have the full beauty of the stone be seen.
