Using ceramic tiles for the kitchen: A guide for homeowners!

Just like you wouldn’t want to compromise on the cabinetry and hardware, you shouldn’t compromise on kitchen flooring either. Kitchens are prone to extensive foot traffic, splashes and spills, and it makes sense to select materials that can withstand all of that, including moisture. If you are looking for a versatile option that can be considered for varied parts of the kitchen, ceramic tiles are a good option.On top of that, it should be mentioned that ceramic tile is a good pair with wooden doors for your kitchen. Check with known suppliers like Ceramique au Sommet céramique cuisine in Montreal, and you will find a wide range of colors, themes and finishes to choose from. In this post, let’s talk of the aspects that matter before you decide on ceramic tiles. 

Are ceramic tiles ideal for your kitchen needs?

For the unversed, ceramic tiles are made from clay and minerals, in an oven at really high temperatures. Each tile is highly durable and nonporous, which means that you don’t have to worry about the material harboring bacteria, moisture, or dust. There are a wide range of shades and designs, like we mentioned, which make ceramic tiles ideal for kitchen flooring, backsplashes and walls. You can create a perfectly balanced kitchen with designed walls and floors, all in sync with one another. One big advantage of ceramic tiles is durability. If installed professionally, you don’t have to worry about replacement for at least a couple of decades. Homes with ceramic tiles often fetch a better resale value. 

What about installation, costs, and maintenance?

As far as cleaning or maintenance of ceramic tiles is concerned, there isn’t much to worry about. Just use a normal tile cleaning solution for regular cleaning, and you can hire professionals for extensive cleanup once in few years. There are no worries with staining, even if you choose white tiles. The cost depends on the type of ceramic tiles you choose. Most suppliers will be happy to offer an estimate in advance, but keep the installation costs in mind. Also, we recommend that you order a few extra tiles, so that if a tile breaks (which is quite unlikely), replacement is not a burden. 

Final word

Using ceramic tiles for your home kitchen can be an absolute pleasure and investment in the real sense. Do your homework and select a supplier you can trust. Visit their showroom and check a few samples, so that you know the overall appeal and look better. Make sure that all the areas of the kitchen with ceramic tiles are coordinated.
