Kitchen Tiles

For high-traffic regions such as the kitchen or washrooms, porcelain floor tile is an excellent selection. This sanded type of floor tile is created by mixing clay with heat and pressure, which transforms it into a denser, less porous, and much more durable ceramic tile.

When asking what size tiles make a kitchen look bigger, it’s important to consider larger tiles. Fewer grout lines mean fewer defining barriers to the spaces which makes your kitchen appear larger, helping achieve a practical as well as aesthetic objective. Aside from that, bigger tiles are simpler to wash, thus, they really do fulfill the dual purpose of being practical and visually appealing.

The self-adhesive backing of peel-and-stick tiles makes installation effortless; no grout is needed and they do not even have to be tiles. In addition to being extremely simple to install, they are cheap and cost-effective.

Kitchen floors-natural stone and porcelain- continue to be the best options because they are dense and hard wearing. Natural stone is relatively low maintenance, while porcelain is pretty much maintenance free. Natural stones do need sealing, but only every 3-5 years, whereas porcelain does not require any sealing at all.

Most people will argue that ceramic is the best wall tile. It is water, stain, dirt, heat, and scratch resistant. This along with its ability to withstand the demands of the kitchen backsplash, bathroom backsplash, or shower makes it the wall tile of choice. Unlike most other gourmets, Ceramic tile is the most cost efficient, easy to cut, and comes in a plethora of eye popping colors and textures.
