It would seem that quite recently our compatriots knew 2-3 names of floor coverings and were extremely happy when they managed to buy one of them. Today the assortment of this product is so large that we only learn about the existence of any new products when we visit a large construction supermarket.
Despite this, floor tiles, like many years ago, remain our favorite and, as it seems to us, the most reliable floor covering. This beautiful and durable finishing material is popular not only among ordinary buyers - many famous designers like to work with it. A huge selection of textures and colors, high wear resistance and easy maintenance makes floor tiles an ideal coating. It is important that this material is environmentally friendly, not subject to rotting or burning. In addition, if the
tile was
laid in accordance with technological standards, then its fracture strength will be equal to the strength of reinforced concrete floors.
If we compare floor tiles with other equally popular materials, such as linoleum or carpet, then the obvious advantages of the tile will be obvious - it does not fade, its surface does not bend under the weight of the furniture, it does not require
any special care. Thanks to the huge range of colors and textures, the tile can be used in a room decorated in any style.
However, we will be objective. Disadvantages floor tiles still have. This is - firstly - high thermal conductivity, due to which the coating cools very quickly. For this reason, walking on the floor without shoes is not recommended. Today, this problem can be addressed by installing a water or electric underfloor heating. But this is not possible in all cases, besides this event may entail additional costs. To the disadvantages of the tile, many also include the complexity of its laying, which requires the involvement of high-class craftsmen. But we are ready to argue with this statement - any floor covering requires professional and high-quality work on its installation, therefore, tiles in this case are no exception.
Today, floor tiles are used in almost all areas of a house or apartment. It should be noted that everywhere it looks very organically and, if the choice is made correctly, it successfully emphasizes the general style of the room. And yet, most often this coating can be found in the hallway, bathroom and kitchen.
As before, floor tiles for the kitchen are out of competition. Do not delay buying this material until the start of the repair, as if you make a purchase just before laying it, you can rush and make the wrong choice. Go shopping in advance, study the available samples, find out what floor tiles are available. Price also matters and affects the final choice of material. Look at what online stores offer - perhaps it will be convenient and profitable for you to place an order without leaving your home. Take this issue seriously, because you do not do repairs every year, and you will have to enjoy your choice for a long time.
