Discover The Beauty Of Custom Tile Flooring

By Ainsley G. Zaver


There may come a time when a homeowner decides that they are ready to do some sort of cosmetic renovation in their home. Such projects may include upgrading the kitchen, adding a patio, or doing a bathroom remodel. One way to personalize their space would be to have custom tile flooring installed.

Other than the fact that they are very attractive, this type of product has a lot of other benefits. The surface is smooth and solid which makes it easy to clean, typically needing nothing more than a damp sponge or mop. It works for both inside and outside spaces and is perfect for people with allergies since it does not hold mold, pollen, dust mites or mildew.

Tiles come in so many different styles, designs, colors, and sizes, available in both patterns and solids. With thousands of options from which to pick, the ability to be creative is almost endless. A person can create their own floor which will be a perfect representation of their own personal preferences.

These items are commonly made from materials such as stone, porcelain, ceramic, glass, concrete, and cement. They are found in several different forms which include rectangles, squares, diamond, hexagon, star and cross, picket, arabesque, dulcimer, discus, scale, accordion, chevron, and kite. Combining these in multiple ways allows one to build uniquely beautiful patterns and designs.

An installation of this sort that has been done properly has the potential to last a lifetime. Though generally requiring very little maintenance and upkeep, one might consider sealing high traffic areas with a special top coat that makes it more resistant to stains and markings. To get the most out of the floors, one's choice of tiler is extremely important.

Accuracy is of the utmost importance in these projects since even the slightest error in edging, symmetry, or pattern can be glaringly noticeable and nearly impossible to ignore. Once the floor has been completed, correcting the mistakes is both a time consuming and incredibly expensive endeavor. A highly reputable tiler will do the job right the first time and avoid such issues.

Since these installations are so complex, it is recommended that one opt for a professional contractor who has at least three years of experience working in this field. These individuals will be better equipped to choose the proper materials for the job and to handle intricacies like specialty cuts and issues. Attention to various details such as grouting, edging, and placement are going to make for a quality construction that is durable and beautiful to look at.
