Home builders and designers have long applauded the advantages of ceramic
tile as a flooring option, which offers a level of durability that is hard to beat. Even the ancient Romans recognized the value of ceramic
tile and utilized it in much of their architecture. The
Interceramic Colonial Wood collection has taken the adaptability of tile to a whole new level by fusing it with the beauty of natural wood, allowing you to have the best of both worlds for your flooring needs.
Ceramic tile is an excellent flooring option because is virtually maintenance free. Other than the normal cleaning that all flooring requires, the only other necessary maintenance for ceramic
tile is to apply a sealant about every four to five years. It requires no deep cleaning, polishing or waxing, just routine cleaning and a thin layer of sealant twice every decade. Thus, ceramic is the perfect floor material for busy homeowners who do not want to spend their weekends on their hands and knees cleaning floors.
Tile is also an inexpensive material. Although initial costs may seem higher than for other floors, when you consider how long a ceramic tile floor lasts, the benefits go up substantially. Its durability makes it a particularly great flooring option for high-traffic areas. Ceramic
tile is naturally stain and wear-resistant. It does not fade, tear, snag, or wear down, and spills do not irreparably damage it. Furthermore, tile never goes out of style and can be adapted to any style needed in any room of your house. Its color, texture, and vibrancy can also be varied to suit your personal tastes.
In particular, the
Interceramic Colonial Wood Tile collection has rectangular tiles and a texture that resembles hand-scraped hardwood with authentic grain patterns and natural color variations. However, since the
Interceramic Colonial Wood Tile collection is actually glazed ceramic
tile, it is not subject to the abrasion or wear of hardwood, nor does it require the same level of maintenance. Plus, should it require a heavy-duty cleaning, you can use cleaners on it that would destroy an actual wood floor.
The
Interceramic Colonial Wood Tile collection comes in three shades: Mahogany, Pecan, and Walnut. Now you can have it all the elegance and beauty of hardwood flooring combined with the practicality and durability of ceramic
tile.
