Ceramic tile is one of the most versatile, durable, and cost-effective materials to use in the home. It can be adapted for almost any application. For thousands of years, it has been recognized as an incredibly long-lasting and resilient surface that doesn’t wear or stain easily. When considering its longevity and limited maintenance, it’s still one of the most economically viable materials for any space. There are many potential spots to consider ceramic tile installation in your home.
The Bathroom
Nearly every home has ceramic tile somewhere, and the bathroom is often the first place to look. Ceramic tile can be used in the bathtub and shower area to create easy-to-clean surfaces that will also keep water from getting into the walls where mold and bacteria can grow. Ceramic tile is still a popular surface for bathroom floors and walls as well. Given the water and condensation that is inherent in such a space, tile installation provides the necessary protection necessary to keep your bathroom safe and clean.
The Kitchen
Between cooking and accidental spills, there’s a strong likelihood that the materials you use in your kitchen are going to need to be both durable and cleanable. Ceramic tile offers both options. One possibility that is often overlooked is using ceramic tile to create a stylish and modern backsplash between the countertop and cabinets in the kitchen. There are countless options available in both design and texture that provide a unique look while still offering the protection of tile installation.
Entryways
Children, pets, and even some adults will come into the house without any concern for what might be on their shoes. Even the most fastidious of people will occasionally drag mud or dirt into the house from outside. A ceramic tile floor near the entryway of your house creates an easily-maintained area where family members and guests can take off their shoes without getting contaminants all over your hardwood or carpet.
Frequently Overlooked Possibilities
