Ceramic Tile - Beauty Meets Durability

In life, we often find ourselves making a difficult decision between aesthetics and function. Something beautiful may not always be as durable as we would hope, while something less visually pleasing may be incredibly resilient and last for centuries. It's the old decision between an plow horse and a show horse and finding out which one is best for your needs. 

Ceramic tile tends to break this stereotype and proceeds to provide a stunning floor to your home that will stand up against all the abuse you can throw at it. Because of this, ceramic tile has been on of our most popular choices for flooring products. 

Ceramic tile is incredibly durable. It is created from a hardened clay that is baked and glazed to become resistant to most types of damage that floors usually endure. It is both heat and moisture resistant making it perfect for hot and humid kitchens or bathrooms. You'll never have to worry about a spill damaging the integrity of the floor. If you encounter any dirt, grime, or spills on a tile floor, it's usually as simple as sweeping or mopping it up. Ceramic tile is often picked in commercial properties due to its cleanliness.

Don't let the resistance of ceramic tile fool you in to thinking that it would be an ugly choice for your home. Ceramic tile is incredibly versatile in the ways it can be installed. The tile comes in thousands of color, texture, and size combinations so you can really express your creativity with an installation. The only limit is your imagination. When installing ceramic tile in your home, don't be afraid to be artistic and imaginative with it. You might be surprised at how much you like the result.

Linoleum Floors - The Most Bang For Your Buck!

Linoleum flooring (also called vinyl flooring) is one of the most popular options for new floors, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. The reasons for this popularity become crystal clear if you consider price and durability. If you're looking for a floor that will last for generations at the lowest possible cost, This is definitely the floor for you. 

Lets begin by talking about the price. This is often the biggest consideration for home owners and apartment landlords when considering a new floor. Different flooring materials have differing prices depending on quality, but linoleum is almost always your cheapest option. The reason for this is because the process to produce the linoleum itself makes heavy use of recycled products. Utilizing recycling to produce and dispose of linoleum keeps costs low while producing a quality product. The cost savings in the manufacturing process are passed directly on to the consumer!

The phrase "you get what you pay for" doesn't necessarily apply here either. Despite the relatively low cost of linoleum products, the floors end up being extremely durable and last for ages. The floors are resistant to all manner of dirt, grime and spills and the material is designed to be very easy to clean. Due to this durability, it is a favorite choice for high traffic areas or areas prone to dirt and spills, such as kitchens and bathrooms. This durability is also a huge benefit to landlords in rental properties because the floors require less maintenance and are harder to be damaged by negligent tenants. 

To add a cherry to the top, linoleum is offered in hundreds of different styles ranging from color options to patterns and even textures. There is a huge degree of customization in choosing a linoleum floor so despite it being a cheap and heavy duty floor, it can look classy and add value to a room.

To recap, if you are looking for a heavy duty and resilient floor that won't break the bank but still looks amazing, you should definitely consider installing linoleum in your home!
