Ceramic Tile Flooring in Indianapolis Homes

Tile, whether ceramic, stone, or other materials, has grown in popularity in recent years. It has always been a relatively common choice for certain areas of homes, such as the kitchen, bathroom, foyer, mudroom, laundry room, and so on. However, the latest trends have seen tile flooring being used in more areas of a home, including the living room, dining room, and even bedrooms. Part of this trend has to do with how easy it is to clean tile floors and how they don’t harbor allergens the way carpet flooring does. The highly durable nature of tile floors is unmatched in flooring options. The key to maintaining ceramic tile flooring is to keep it well sealed, which will prevent stains on both the tiles and the grout between them.

If you’ve ever spent time in a more tropical environment, whether here in the United States or abroad, you’ve no doubt noticed the use of ceramic tiles for flooring rises with the average temperature. In the warmest climates of Central and South America, it’s not uncommon for homes and apartments to be all-tile for both flooring and even the walls. Ceramic tile tends to stay cool to the touch as temperatures outdoors soar to uncomfortable levels.

This begs the question, however, about using ceramic tile in more northern climates that include big differences between summer and winter temperatures. While ceramic tile floors do tend to be cool to the touch, in more northern climates this can be offset with in-floor heating, whether as electric mats underneath the tile or radiant heating built into or underneath the subfloor.

The design options when it comes to ceramic tiles are essentially infinite and limited only by the imagination of manufacturers. In this sense, you get even more options for the shape, color, and patterns than you have available with hardwood floors and greater durability to withstand the tests of time and usage. While all sorts of flexibility can also be had with laminate and vinyl flooring, nothing beats the authenticity and character of real ceramic or stone tiles.
