START YOUR FLOORING PROJECT WITH ALL THE
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR IDEAS REALITY.
Pros
- Long Lasting
Ceramic, when installed and maintained properly, will last for the life of your home.
- Low Maintenance
Ceramic cleans easily with a neutral floor cleaner.
- Virtually Unlimited Designs
Ceramic offers a wide variety of looks, colors and patterns.
- Stands Up to High Traffic
Extremely durable ceramic is an excellent choice for high traffic areas.
- Great Investment
Although ceramic is harder to install than other flooring, it is an investment that pays off, increasing the value of
your home.
Considerations
- Difficult to Install
Professional installation is highly recommended, and can be expensive.
- May Chip or Crack
Ceramic's hardness makes it susceptible to chipping or cracking from impact.
- Hard, Unforgiving Surface
Ceramic is not easy on breakable objects or muscles and joints. Plates and glass may break; knees and elbows may bruise
from falls, and standing on a very hard floor can cause muscle fatigue.
- Colder Perception
Ceramic may feel cooler to the touch than other floor types, in low-temperature environments.
