When it comes to installing flooring for your kitchen, you have plenty of options to choose from. Ceramic tile is one alternative you may want to consider. Read on to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of ceramic tile. When you are planning on revamping your kitchen flooring in Seattle or the surrounding areas, give Magic Hardwood a call. Besides ceramic tile, we have hardwood, stone, and vinyl installation.
Whether you have dogs or small children, ceramic tile is an excellent choice because its hard surface makes it practically impossible for germs or mold to grow. Spills are also less of a problem because the surface is easier to clean. Ceramic tile can be cleaned with a broom or vacuum to remove loose dirt and a mop with any ordinary floor cleaner to remove difficult-to-clean stains. Ceramic tile is also less expensive without looking cheap. It comes in a variety of sizes, patterns, and colors.
While ceramic tile appears to be an almost perfect alternative, there are a few drawbacks. Because the material is so strong, breakable items like plates and glasses can easily crack or shatter if dropped. Although ceramic tile is cool in the summer, it can be extremely cold in the winter. This can be helped by placing a cozy rug in high-traffic areas. While tile is easier to clean in general, the grout between tiles is permeable. Grout must be sealed after installation to avoid stains and mold growth.
