Glazed Tile - Most of the common ceramic floor
tiles have either a glazed, or unglazed surface. The glazed tiles
have a special ceramic coating that is applied to the body of the
tile and then fired under tremendous heat. The glazing becomes hard
and non-porous resulting in a flooring that is:
- Stain Resistant
- Scratch Resistant
- Fire Resistant
- Doesn’t Fade from Sun Light
- Slip Resistant
- Easy to Clean
Unglazed Floor Tile (Pavers) –
There is no glazing or any other coating applied to these tiles.
Because these tiles are porous it is recommended that a special
penetrating sealant be used to maintain this type of floors and to
help prevent stains from seeping into the pores of the tiles. Their
color is the same on the face of the tile as it is on the back
resulting in very durable tiles that do not show the effects of
heavy traffic.
Marble – Marble is a natural product
and is not made in a factory. For this reason no two pieces of
marble look the same and the veining is a natural characteristic in
all marble. There are special marble sealants to help protect from
staining of the face. Extra care should be used when cleaning and
all abrasives and acidic cleaners should never be used when
cleaning. Even colas, some juices, and possibly ammonia may destroy
the marble finish.
Granite – This is another natural
stone and is not manufacturered in a factory. Granite can be used
indoors or outdoors and is less porous than marble. It is still
recommended that you use a sealant to protect the finish from
staining.
Grout – Grout is a mixture of cement and a
color additive. For tile floors with wider spaces between each tile
sand is added to the grout. Also, a liquid latex additive can be
added to the grout to give better resiliency to the grouted areas.
For ease of maintenance a penetrating sealant should be used on the
grout. It should be noted you may see a change in color of your
grout over time.
Some of the other important things we can
help with when selecting a tile floor is the slip-resistance, the
size and color of the grout joints, the thickness of the tile,
height variations from room to room, size of the tile, suitability
of the subfloor, and cleaning of the tile.
