Dear friends, do you know how to choose granite Vs. ceramic floor tile in the daily life? As we know, choosing to install tile instead of any other flooring type is only the beginning of the floor coverage decisions you need to make before laying the first tile in place. Primary among those decisions is making the choice as to tile type. Two commonly used floor tiles are granite and ceramic. Each is strong and durable, but there are differences between the two that you should consider before choosing one over the other for installation to your floor. Instructions as follows: Firstly, go to the shop where you intend to purchase your granite tiles and ask for a variety of samples or both the granite and ceramic floor tiles. Take them home with you to view under the lighting conditions in the room where you intend the installation. Secondly, place the tiles onto the floor of the room and examine them from different areas of the room to note the difference in appearances. While the ceramic tile will remain the same in appearance throughout its lifetime, unlike the marble, the granite till will change gradually, developing slight pitting over time or growing darker as moisture permeates the surface. Being natural stone, no two granite tiles are precisely alike. Due to this, granite tiles create a more complex look on your floor, and are generally considered to be more luxurious than ceramic floor tiles. Imagine these changes to determine if they're acceptable to you. Thirdly, determine if the area will be heavily traveled. Granite tiles can wear at a faster rate than ceramics, lasting a shorter length of time in heavily trafficked areas, requiring replacement sooner. Fourthly, look at your budget and determine if you wish to incur the greater costs of installing a granite tile floor compared to ceramic tiles. The tiles and materials used to create the mud bed for the granite tile installation are more costly than a ceramic tile floor installation. Fifthly, examine your budget a second time and determine if there's room for the increased maintenance costs of the granite tiles. You'll need to reseal granite tiles generally every two years, as well as having them professionally cleaned around the same period of time. These costs can mount up over the course of the tile's lifetime and must be incurred to avoid tile damage. Sixthly, use the various differences between the two tile types to choose a floor material that both fits within your budget, and gives you the look you desire that goes along with the surrounding architectural and furnished décor.
