We have already said it on many occasions, but we are going to repeat it one more time because it seems very important to us: using both tiles and ceramic floors at home is a very good option.
The question is to be able to choose, both the best tiles and the best floors , to get the most out of them and give them the best use that we can give them.
Now how do we do it?
One of the most recurrent questions among those who consider using them in their home is this, how do I choose them?
To begin with, it should be noted that the tiles are resistant, comfortable and easy to clean and maintain . In addition, they provide endless possibilities to place and use them in a decorative way. You can not only use them on walls, but also on floors inside and outside the house.
However, it should be remembered that all ceramic tiles are not the same or have the same uses . Take a look and decide which one suits you best.
Ceramic tiles
You already know, but ceramic has a lot of advantages if we compare this material with that of other coatings and other floors. The most valued aspects are the durability and ease with which they are cleaned , as well as their low maintenance.
They are very resistant to humidity , and that makes them ideal to place in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Of course, it is necessary to place them well so that they can cover very humid surfaces, such as the shower.
If you already opt for a porcelain one, you will see that they are more than suitable to be placed outside your home. As if all this were not enough, you have a huge variety in terms of colors, finishes, textures ...
What finishes can we find?
Every tile or tile has a surface finish that contains polish or enamel, for example. This is important because the type of finish indicates how resistant the part is.
- Enamel : waterproofs the piece and gives it a shine and color.
- Polishing : polishing smooths the visible face and gives it shine.
- Engobe : this paste covers the body of the tile on the exposed side to make it more attractive.
