Whether you’re looking to replace your home’s flooring or install new counters, ceramic tile is one material that can deliver a strong return on investment. Used successfully since ancient times, these clay-based products offer a practical solution for nearly every room in the house and offer an eye-catching style. To see why this material has remained popular for thousands of years, here are a few advantages of scheduling ceramic tile installation.

5 Reasons to Invest in Ceramic Tile Installation

1. Tough Against the Elements

Varied mineral compositions combined with high-temperature baking creates solid tiles that are not prone to high-traffic wear, cracking, fading, or fire damage. When glazed or sealed, this surface is also impervious to moisture, which in turn, can prevent warping, rot, and mold damage in humid environments—such as the bathroom. With proper care, a well-installed ceramic tile floor can last between 75-100 years.

2. Effortless Cleaning

Ceramic tiles are so smooth that they won’t hold onto dirt and other loose particles. At the same time, sealed or glazed tiles will prevent spills from leaving stains. Cleaning this material is as simple as sweeping, wiping, or mopping debris off the surface.

3. Simple Repairs

Although rare, ceramic may crack when exposed to heavy force. Fortunately, this damage won’t require you to remove and replace the entire surface. Instead, the damaged section can be lifted out and replaced with a similar tile, causing no disruption to the surrounding pieces.

4. Allergy-Friendly

Unlike carpet fibers or porous surfaces, ceramic tile does not attract small allergen particles—such as dust, pollen, and pet dander. With cleaning, these allergens can be cleared away without harming your indoor air quality. Having fewer pollutants in the air can help people with allergies or asthma avoid flare-ups and breathe more easily.

5. Design Versatility  

No matter what look you’re going for, there’s likely a ceramic tile design that can produce the desired results. For instance, painted tiles can provide a pop of color or introduce intricate patterns to a room. Embossed materials, on the other hand, can add depth and texture to walls and backsplashes. Some may even be printed to create a realistic “hardwood” effect. You also don’t have to settle for square tiles, as ceramic can be crafted into any shape.
