Ceramic tiles have been around for decades and they have evolved over time both in terms of quality and designs. Gone are the days, when ceramic tiles were merely a flooring material with a matte finish. Lately, ceramic flooring is available in plethora of designs and colour options. Even in the building construction, real estate developers are coming up with homes having ceramic floors. Recently, I have come across a 3 BHK residential apartment in Rajarhat where the entire flooring is done with ceramic tiles. Here’s why it’s a preferred choice. Check out the few major advantages of having ceramic tile floor.

Ceramic Tiles Need Easy Maintenance – A mop, some water, or even a broom is good enough to keep the tiles sparkling and clean. Since there is a hard glazing over the ceramic tiles, it does not allow grease, paints or any other such material to stick to the floor and is easy to clean off in case of accidental spillage. 

Ceramic Tiles Are Highly Water Resistant – This is essentially for the glazed tiles. The glazing makes the tile impervious to water and thus is perfect for use in high moisture or wet environments such as bathroom, kitchen and other such places. Ceramic tiles are mostly glazed, and the ones which are not will have to have a separate coating placed on top to make the tiles water resistant.

Ceramic Tiles Are Durable – The durability of the ceramic tile is pretty high. Floor tiles can remain as good as new for 10 or even 20 years at a stretch, depending upon the maintenance and area of usage. These tiles do not crack easily and can withstand major impact. In case there is a crack in one of the tiles, the damaged one can be replaced quite easily with another one of the same design.

Ceramic is Hypoallergenic – Glazed ceramic tiles do not attract allergens like dust, pollen or other such minute particles. It essentially keeps the place clean. Even if there is dust or any other such particle on the tiles, they can be simply wiped away.

Cost of Ceramic Tiles – Compared to the other flooring alternatives, the cost of ceramic tiles is really low. It is one of the cheapest materials that are used as the flooring solution.

Ceramic tiles are certainly a great investment when you are looking to deck up your interiors within a budget. It comes with an inherent sheen that adds to the glam of your décor drama.
