When you are looking to have a new floor put in your home it is a great idea to know what your options are. Many people are leaving the traditional carpeted floors for a more elegant look of tile. There are many types of tile or hard floors that you can choose from so it is good to know what you are getting and why. The tile floors will need to be cleaned and polished regularly to keep them looking their best. It is also for the longevity of the floors to have them cleaned professionally. The cleaning is best left to a professional in many circumstances since the floors can be damaged if the wrong cleaner or technique is used. The main two types of tile floors that we will be discussing are either a natural stone floor or a man-made stone floor.
Silver State Floor Restoration Lists Factors To Consider When Choosing A Man-Made Tile Or Natural Stone
Natural Stone Floors Pros & Cons: If you want a long standing beautiful natural stone floor you will most likely be getting a granite, limestone, marble or travertine stone. They are all flooring options that have been used in homes to add some luxury and sophistication. The natural stone is found naturally formed in the environment and is harvested from rocks and quarries. They are then worked into the size and shape of pieces that will eventually make up your floors. The price is sometimes an issue when choosing this type of floor because it can be a little more expensive. The great thing is that the stone is a long lasting option as long as it is treated properly and cleaned regularly. The look of natural stone is luxurious and you will get the natural feel of the stones. They also will not be uniform in color and texture since they are all formed out in the world. Depending on the stone that you choose it can be a hard stone or a softer stone. That means that it may require maintenance to resurface the tiles to keep them from having scratches and gauges in them.
Pros & Cons of Man-Made Tile Floors: When you start to consider a flooring option you may decide that a man made tile is right for you. The cost will be lower than a stone floor but there are several other things to still consider. The tile will be very uniform and color because it is manufactured to be that way. It can mimic the look of stone but won’t have the same texture or feel. The options when choosing tile is really pretty endless and you can get just about anything you can dream of. They are great for an area that has a lot of traffic and can be cleaned well when needed. As long as the man made tile is installed correctly it will last a long time and should not need much in the way of repairs.
