Whether in the bathroom or the kitchen, a porcelain tile installation is a smart way to upgrade your flooring. Created from dense clay fired at extremely high temperatures, this versatile flooring solution is available in a wide range of styles to help you achieve the perfect look for your home. Here are some of the many benefits of having a flooring contractor install porcelain tile.

Advantages of Porcelain Tile

1. Durability

Porcelain tile is extremely wear-resistant, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas or homes with pets. It is also resistant to impact; some varieties can even be used in commercial settings because it is so unlikely to crack. This hardness, combined with superior water and fire resistance, ensures that porcelain tile can last for several decades.

2. Water & Stain Resistance

This helps preserve the appearance of the tile as liquid is repelled instead of absorbed into open pores in the material. Glazed porcelain tile offers even greater water resistance. Spot cleaning will keep the floor stain-free for years to come.

3. Easy Repairs

A porcelain tile installation is easy to care for. You can quickly wipe up water without worry of periodic refinishing or sealing, as with other materials. In the unlikely event that a tile cracks or breaks, you don’t have to replace the entire floor. A flooring contractor can simply remove the damaged tile and replace it with a new, matching piece. The uniform construction of these tiles ensures that the replacement piece won’t look out of place.
