Tile Floors

Home owners today have numerous choices when it comes to installing tile floors in their homes.  What is the best tile floor for your home?

Let's look at the broader categories of tile flooring you may consider.

1. Porcelain or ceramic tiles are the prevalent choice on the market and the ones you will most likely find at your local home center.  These are quite cost effective, pretty easy to install and maintain and usually durable.
2. Stone tiles are undoubtably one of the most durable flooring choices.  However, they can be expensive, require know-how to install and can stain.  Cleaning and maintaining them require professional grade products.
3. Synthetic wood tiles are a good alternative to installing real wood floors. Unlike real wood, they cannot be sanded and refinished, but are generally pretty easy to clean and maintain.
4. Vinyl tiles are inexpensive, easy to install and very easy to keep clean.   

The floors in your home are an important part of the overall look and livability of your space. Think carefully about the cost and difficulty or ease of maintenance as well as the initial purchase price and cost of installation.
