Advantages of tiles over natural materials

Tiles, especially bathroom tiles and porcelain tiles, have several advantages over natural materials in various applications. 

Modern tiles, especially porcelain tiles, are excellent imitators of various materials, such as marble and wood. Tiles can faithfully reproduce the appearance of natural materials, allowing for a wide variety of aesthetic options.

- The impermeability of the tiles makes them a practical and functional choice in environments prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, facades and exterior walls. In addition, their ability to not absorb water, grease, detergents and odours contributes to their versatility and ease of maintenance.

- An additional advantage of tiles is their versatility in terms of formats and presentation, compared to natural materials such as stone. The diversity of formats in which tiles are presented offers consumers a wide range of options to suit their specific design and application needs. This flexibility is a significant advantage compared to materials such as stone, which may have limitations in terms of format variety.

- They do not require a great deal of maintenance, they do not need to be polished or varnished. And they are chemically resistant, they can be cleaned with any cleaning product.

- Modern tiles, especially porcelain tiles, are manufactured using advanced technologies that improve their wear resistance. This includes high-temperature firing processes and glazing techniques that strengthen the surface.

- The ability of tiles to tolerate weight is an important feature, and the choice of thicker, stronger tiles may be particularly appropriate in situations where significant surface loading is expected. This contributes to the durability and longevity of tiles for bathrooms, high traffic areas and so on.

- Stability against climatic changes is another significant advantage of tiles, and this characteristic relates to their ability to maintain their original appearance despite exposure to various climatic elements.

- Another important virtue of tiles is their versatility in the use of the same format for flooring and cladding. This feature facilitates the coordination of the design in different areas of a space. For example, this room covered with the same bathroom tiles on the wall and on the floor.

- An important characteristic of some tiles, especially ceramic and porcelain tiles, is their ability to resist combustion and provide an additional layer of protection against fire.

- Tiles are a hygienic choice thanks to their non-porous surface, stain resistance and ease of cleaning. These characteristics make tiles a popular choice in areas where hygiene and cleanliness are a priority such as kitchens and bathrooms.

- Tiles, on the other hand, provide the possibility of creating a large number of combinations and designs, which provides flexibility and versatility in decorating spaces. In our online tile shop you can find a wide variety of examples. 

- The tiles are more economically accessible. In addition, the ease of installation reduces construction costs. They can even be installed by the customer with the right materials. 

- Porcelain and ceramic tiles are common and recommended choices for use with underfloor heating because of their ability to conduct and retain heat effectively. They are compatible with underfloor heating.

- They are sustainable due to their durability. In addition, Ceramic Connection cares about the manufacturing process and this has made it an environmentally certified company.
