Advantages Of Ceramic and Porcelain Tile

July 5, 2016 at 12:42 pm

Durability: Porcelain flooring is very durable and  the tiles are difficult to crack. A quality installation can last for 10 to 20 years and even longer if well maintained.

Water Resistant: Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles have a non porous layer of liquid glass that sits on top of the tiles making them impervious to water and stain penetration. They are also naturally resistant to the ravages of high humidity conditions. These properties makes them ideal for use in wet environments like bathrooms and kitchens.

Tiles that are not glazed will need to be sealed in order to protect their surface from liquids.

Maintenance: Tile is easy to care for. Dirt and stains rest on the tile surface making then easy to clean. Maintenance consists of wiping, sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to keep the tile free of dust and dirt. If a stain does occur use a non toxic cleaner and rub it until its removed.

Color Options: Porcelain tiles allow for a wider range of styles and colors.

Modern manufacturing allows tiles producers to make materials which can be printed in all types of ways. Tile can be printed to reproduce the look of a number of hardwoods and stones.

Pricing: Most tiles costs between $3.50 and $8 a square foot.

Allergies: “Porcelain and ceramic tiles are some of the best choices for allergy prevention. They’re easy to care for and dust accumulation is easy to spot and clean.”

The hard, flat surface of ceramic and porcelain tiles makes them a good choice for those with allergies. Tiles are easy to keep clean because dust mites, pollen and pet hair cannot penetrate their impervious texture. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are highly water resistant. This makes them a good choice for bathrooms and kitchens, where steam and water may cause mold and mildew. Although ceramic and porcelain are well suited for those with allergies, not every type of tile is a great option. Some tile materials, such as natural stone, may be more porous than others. Dirt and dust may snag in the uneven crevices, making these types of flooring less effective.

Preventive maintenance is one of the best ways to keep your carpet clean

How to keep your carpet and floors as clean as possible at home or the office to prolong the life of your carpet and flooring:

This post is geared for an office environment but it is just as important in a home with a lot of children or even one with a lot of visitors.

One of the best ways to keep your carpeting and flooring clean is through preventive maintenance.  You need to get a good exterior and entrance mat.  These mats will help keep dirt from reaching your flooring or carpets so that it stays clean. Having mats at entrances is very helpful for dirt containment and reducing the costs of cleaning and maintenance. It is best to have an exterior mat that can be used for scraping heavy debris and an interior mat that can be used to trap smaller particles of dirt.

The strategy of preventative maintenance is as simple as it sounds: You keep your carpet clean by keeping dirt from reaching it. 

The best type of mats have some heavy yarns to scrape and to absorb moisture. You should test the mat by sprinkling ice melter on it and using a standard upright vacuum to remove it. If the debris isn’t removed easily than you need a different mat.  You will need to clean the mat on a regular basis to prevent it from becoming loaded with dirt and debris that will get on your main flooring if it is not removed from the entrance mats.

In addition to the mats, make sure you have a regular cleaning program for all of your flooring.  With carpet make sure you get a quality vacuum cleaner and do regular deep professional cleaning. as well.

Here is a good resource for the type of vacuum cleaner to purchase based on your needs.

Steamboat-Grand-Hotel-Wool-Couristan-carpetA common misperception is that people with asthma and allergies should avoid having carpet in their home.

Studies have shown that the opposite is true. Properly cleaned carpet helps reduce allergy symptoms and is actually the best flooring choice for those dealing with asthma and allergies.

Their is a significant body of research that shows that carpet is not bad for allergy sufferers:

The Carpet and Rug Institute, an industry trade association, is committed to educating people about carpet and to dispel untruths and myths. The CRI has this to say;
“The suggestion that carpet causes indoor air quality problems is a significant issue for the carpet industry to address,” said Werner Braun, president of CRI. “Through research, CRI offers information that is valuable to medical professionals and to anyone living with carpet.”
According to Werner Braun; ” An extensive toxicological assessment of components of carpet concluded that the chemicals in carpet pose no health risks of public concern. ”

Listed below are 4 more studies on carpet and allergies.

1. Airmid Healthgroup of Ireland conducted a study that showed, “effectively cleaned carpets can trap allergens and other particles, resulting in fewer particles escaping into the air.” Airmid performed the study for CRI member carpet manufacturer Shaw Industries.
2. A study on childhood asthma study from 2005, known as the Inner-City Asthma Study, concluded that there was no difference in symptom improvement or allergen levels in carpeted homes vs. uncarpeted homes.
3. A 15-year Swedish study found there to be no link between the use of carpet and incidents of asthma or allergy. The study also found that when carpet usage in Sweden decreased by 70%, allergic reactions increased by 30%.
4. Researcher and toxicology expert Dr. Mitch Sauerhoff, reviewed a number of scientific studies and concluded that the literature on carpet and asthma or allergies confirms that children and adults living with carpet do not have an increased incidence of asthma or allergy

Properly cleaned carpet is the best way to combat allergies and raise indoor air quality. The best strategy for effectively cleaning carpet is:

1. Regular vacuuming with a quality vacuum.
2. Have your carpet professionally deep cleaned every year.

Professional cleaning and regular vacuuming might sound simple, but that is all you need to do to keep your carpet from becoming a source of allergies and asthma.
