What Are Vitrified Tiles?
- Because vitrified tiles do not absorb much water, they do not stain easily. Hardwood floors require constant maintenance and cleaning, but vitrified tiles typically only need to be cleaned. They also withstand more pressure and activity than conventional tiles and hardwood. Because they are not easily stained or damaged, vitrified tiles' long-term maintenance is also low. The life of the vitrified tiles is almost double that of hardwood floors and conventional tile. The only maintenance you should need to perform on your tiles is sweeping them.
- You can install vitrified tiles in any room in your home and outdoors. These tiles are non-abrasive and basically scratch resistant. This allows you to install them in high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways. You can also install vitrified tiles outdoors to add dimension to your patio or walkway.
- The advantage vitrified tiles have over all other flooring conventions is that the designs printed on the tiles lie approximately 25 percent below the surface of the tile. With the combination of the printing lying so far beneath the surface, the non-abrasiveness and the durability, these tiles' designs are practically permanent.
- Vitrified tiles do not expand or contract based on a change in temperature. When you install vitrified tiles, place spacers between the tiles to ensure they are evenly spaced. This makes vitrified tiles ideal for areas where the temperatures reach extreme highs and lows and vary greatly between seasons. Without the expansion and contraction of the flooring, you won't have to worry about it shifting.
