How Are Tiles Cared For/Maintained?

Tile floors are known for being low-maintenance and water-resistant. Maintenance and floor care are easy when done routinely. Basic maintenance entails sweeping and vacuuming to remove dirt, dust and debris. Avoid any floor cleaning products that contain bleach, acid, oil and wax.

How Long Will Tile Last?

Your tile flooring will last for several decades if properly maintained and cared for. Practice a routine dry and mopping regimen to extend the lifespan of your floors.

When Will it Need to Be Replaced?

Tile flooring is timeless when properly maintained, cleaned and sealed. However, damaged or cracked tiles should be replaced. Stained or outdated tiles should eventually be replaced to quickly bring your home or business back in-style.

Where Can Tiles Be Used?

Tiles are a versatile flooring and surface option. They are suited for most locations. Tiles can be used on walls, showers, backsplashes, kitchen and bathroom floors and countertops, fireplaces and hearths as well as outdoor areas.

What Is a PEI Rating?

A PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute) rating is used to determine the characteristic properties (durability, thickness, resistance to wear) of tiles. It is also used as a guide for determining the best tile option for specific locations.

What Is the Difference Between Interior and Exterior Tiles?

Unlike indoor tiles, outdoor tiles are made to withstand and endure conditions, such as weather and temperature. They are finished with a textured surface to enhance traction and withstand wear and tear, cracking, and freezing.
