Tiles for your kitchen




Kitchen Tiles

 

Selecting tiles for the kitchen is not an easy decision as you have to take different factors into consideration. The tiles that you select for your kitchen should not just be aesthetic to look at but also strong enough to resist stains and other damage. Most people only look for elegant looking styles but ignore the tile’s resistance capacity against scratches and stains. There are various options when it comes to choosing the right tiles for your kitchen. The two most common options are Pressed tiles and Extruded tiles.

There are two sub-categories of tiles under Pressed tiles. They are termed as Mono-cottura and Bi-cottura. Mono cottura tiles are produced under very high temperatures which makes them quite strong. Mono cottura tiles have a strong base which can easily withstand strong impact. On the other hand, bi cottura tiles are not as strong enough as Mono cottura tiles. Bi cottura tiles are known more for their stylish and aesthetic looks. They have a low resistance capacity compared to their counterpart.

Porcelain tiles

Another popular option you have for kitchen tiles is porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are widely used by many home-owners. Porcelain tiles are also termed as another variant of Pressed tiles. An advantage of porcelain tiles is that they are extremely durable and thus they are an ideal tiling option in commercial spaces like malls, offices and restaurants where it is not feasible to keep changing the tiles frequently. Whichever type of tiles you select for your kitchen but two things need to be considered well in advance. They are durability of the tiles and ease of cleaning.
