TILING

Economics especially in low and middle-income households matter a lot. So instead of hiring professionals to do the tedious tasks, doing certain tasks on our own becomes a great idea. Now that you have decided to do the tiling on your own, the challenge of choosing the appropriate tile comes next.

This article will definitely help you choose the right tile type for your project. To start with, there are three types of tiles, the Porcelain tile, Natural Stone tile and Vinyl tile. The subsequent individual description will help you understand and choose the right tile for you.

Porcelain Tile
This is the most popular among the three because of its versatility. This type of tile is not just used for kitchens and bathrooms but to entryways as well. The best quality of Porcelain tiles is its durability. It defies stains hence being recommended for use in bathrooms and outdoor spaces. There are an awful lot of designs that you can imagine so it’s such a good choice.

Natural Stone Tile
This one is a great flooring choice but the price may hurt your pockets. A wide selection of marble, slate, granite is available in natural stone. The problem with this high-end floor tile are installation issues, mostly needing hard, firm surfaces or special cement and often needs professional installation. Another thing, you cannot consider this type of tile when you’re working on older homes for it may not withstand the weight of the stone.

Vinyl Tile
This type is used when you’re on a budget. It’s easier to install, too! Vinyl tiles are self-adhesive thus requiring no additional installation issue. It’s the perfect choice when a heavier tile isn’t an option. Vinyl tiles are quite durable because they’re able to resists scuffs, dents and grease but require considerable amount of heavy duty cleaning as their design may also trap dirt.
To wrap it up, the choice which one to use depends on your budget and the type of surface that you’re working with. Make the type choice first because choosing the colors or style.
