Why You Shouldn't Use Ceramic Tiles as Flooring in the Kitchen: The Cons Everyone Is Keeping Silent About
Modern stores offer a wide range of materials that can be used as flooring.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, spoke about the pros and cons of perhaps the most common of them – ceramic tiles.
Let's start with the good news - thanks to the active pattern, the tile can be turned into a focal point or, in simple terms, into a kitchen decoration.
In addition, this material boasts moisture resistance and environmental friendliness.
Finally, by using ceramic tiles you will get a practical floor that does not require special maintenance.
And now – about the notorious fly in the ointment. So, when laying tiles on the floor, do not forget that this is a cold material. The only way out of the situation is to install a heated floor.
In addition, the tiles are quite slippery, so the risk of getting injured in your own kitchen increases significantly.
And finally, it is impossible not to note the fact that due to the glaze coating, ceramic tiles are more fragile compared to porcelain tiles. If something heavy falls on them, chips cannot be avoided. As a “prevention measure,” the expert advises stocking up on several tiles that can be used to replace damaged elements.
