31 May Benefits of Porcelain

Home and business owners don’t have to shoulder the cost of marble to obtain the same extravagant look. Porcelain tile is an elegant solution that beautifies, while providing maximum durability that can last for decades. It’s a popular and durable solution for homes, businesses, rental properties, and facilities that must adhere to a higher level of cleanliness.

Porcelain tile is resistant to moisture, stains, scuffs, and scratches. Its moisture-resistant properties makes it particularly beneficial in areas that are most likely to experience spills and exposure to water, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways. The tile is a good choice for families with an active lifestyle.

The tile is extremely easy to keep clean, low-maintenance, and resists damage even by harsher cleaning products. Porcelain doesn’t trap allergens, bacteria or fungi like some other types of flooring, making it beneficial for individuals with allergies, respiratory conditions, and those that require an elevated level of hygiene.

Those that enjoy frequent entertaining will appreciate the way that porcelain wears, even in areas of high foot traffic. It wears equally well in household with pets. The flooring is less prone to breakage than similar options and a single tile can be replaced if damage does occur. Porcelain tiles are also fire resistant.

The range of styles, colors and patterns is almost endless, with options to accommodate any preference and décor. Porcelain can be created to emulate the look of hardwood, marble, slate and granite. Due to its density and heavy nature, porcelain is best used on ground floors.

No one has to settle for a ho-hum floor with the availability of luxurious porcelain tiles. Despite their shiny and highly polished appearance, they’re not slippery which makes them an ideal solution for mitigating the risk of a fall in locations where children, the elderly or disabled may frequent.
