6 de March, 2020
The process of choosing the ideal covering for a house or apartment is an important step in a project and may not be an easy task.
Whether in the scope of construction or remodeling, a bad choice can result in an unsightly area, acoustically and thermally uncomfortable, or even poorly functional.
There are varied and significant benefits when choosing ceramic tiles, especially in the long term, such as strength, durability and ease of maintenance.
Today we share with you the main advantages of ceramic tiles.
Advantage 1: Water resistance
The high resistance of the ceramic coating and low level of water absorption make it ideal for use in humid environments, such as kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas.
Because it is not porous, it is extremely resistant to water and very easy and quick to clean, preventing water from reaching the layer underneath. Provided that it is well installed, the ceramic can last a lifetime without having to be replaced.
Advantage 2: Fire resistance
Fire resistance must be an aspect to be taken into consideration when deciding.
Ceramic material is non-combustible and, in the event of a fire, does not contribute to the spread of the fire.
Thus, for security reasons, this factor should be taken into consideration when choosing the material to be applied, both in private and public areas.
Advantage 3: Durability
The durability of ceramic tiles in relation to other materials is much higher, making it a more economical option.
Once fixed, the maintenance need is reduced; just clean periodically and avoid contact with abrasive products.
Advantage 4: Decorative | Variety of design
The ceramic coating is no longer merely functional and has also taken on a decorative function. There are materials of high quality but aesthetically unattrative and there are cheap materials which are not very resistant.
Ceramics manages to bring together the best of both worlds: it is versatile, resistant, accessible, beautiful and therefore decorative.
