We first think of the flooring whenever we renovate or construct our new home. What do we do next? We research about it, talk to people around us and find out that tiles are one of the best and most durable solutions for any flooring.

Tiles, now, are not limited to flooring. They can be installed in many areas, such as the staircase, parking lot, deck, driveway, walkway, and more. Tiles are one such solution that is suitable for all kinds of areas.

Further, you will find many kinds of tiles, like porcelain tiles, glazed vitrified tiles, full-body vitrified tiles, and so on. However, it is believed that porcelain tiles are suitable for all areas. Why is it so?

Raw materials of any tile determine the quality. In the production of porcelain tiles, clay is used, which consists of quartz, silica, or feldspar. These materials help tiles to become non-porous and absorb minimal water. Now, this clay is fired at a high temperature that removes moisture resulting in hard and dense tiles. As a result, porcelain tiles are the best for various areas. Let’s have a look at indoor and outdoor areas where these tiles are installed.

Indoor Areas

Indoor tiles do not bear sun, rain, or snow. However, you still need to think it through before you pick tiles for your walls and floors.

Floor tiles:

Indoor floor tiles include living room, dining hall, and bedroom tiles. You can install many types of tiles in these areas. However, you need tiles that are long-lasting and non-skid, as you may have children and don’t want them to meet with any accidents. Hence, porcelain tiles are the best solution for indoor floor tiles.

Bathrooms:

Bathrooms are the most crucial space of your house, as it may be wet most of the time. You must install porcelain tiles if you do not want your tiles to get damaged in a few years. As discussed earlier, these tiles are non-porous. Hence, they do not absorb much water, making them safe and long-lasting ones.

Kitchens:

The kitchen is one area where you often see oily stains on wall tiles. Thus, you need tiles that you can clean fast and with ease. You can install porcelain tiles on kitchen walls and floors, as they are easy to clean and maintain. You do not need to give much time to the task.

Outdoor Areas

Outdoor areas include all spaces that are not covered. Thus, these bear dust, dirt, rain, sun, snow, and so on which is why you must choose outdoor tiles consciously.

Balcony:

You can have a peaceful time on your balcony under the sky with a cup of coffee. How would you feel if your tiles get damaged in the rainy season when you can enjoy the most? It is wise to install porcelain tiles that do not absorb water and thus stay the same like new ones for years.

Terrace:

Your terrace or deck must bear all kinds of weather, from chilly winters to heavy monsoons. You may also have to clean this area frequently due to the accumulation of dust and dirt. It would help if you had tiles that can be easily cleaned and bear various weather. You can install porcelain tiles and get these benefits.

Parking Lot:

These are one of the crucial outdoor spaces, as your parking area may get heavy vehicles or two-wheelers. You need the most durable tiles if you have heavy vehicles. Also, you need non-skid tiles if you have two-wheelers. In both cases, porcelain tiles are the right choice for parking tiles.

Swimming Pool:

Just like bathrooms, the swimming pool area is wet most of the time. Hence, you need non-porous and non-skid tiles for the swimming pool and the surroundings which is one of the properties of porcelain tiles. These tiles are the safest to install in such an area.

Staircase:

You can install many types of tiles on the stairs. However, porcelain tiles are easy to clean and maintain. Hence, most people install these tiles on their staircases without worrying about replacing them for years.

Conclusion

In final words, porcelain tiles have properties like non-skid, non-porous, durability, and longevity due to the raw materials and the process used in tile production by the porcelain tiles company. As a result, these become suitable for all kinds of areas.
