Why Tiles is The Best Flooring Option for Your House?

If you are planning your dream home and thinking what flooring option to use, you are at the right place. In India, we always build a house thinking of a long term, probably an entire life time. Therefore, the right kind of things must be used to ensure its durability.

As far as flooring is considered, tiles are the best option available in the market today. And there are various reasons for this conclusion. Below mentioned are a few reasons why tiles are considered to the best flooring option in today’s times.

1. Tiles are Impervious

Tiles are considered to be impervious in nature. There are various areas in the house which are considered to be high traffic areas like bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, etc. In such areas, if you use normal flooring, there is a scare of the floor getting damaged or scratched. But tiles being impervious, this scare of damage or scare is not there as they are highly durable and scratch resistance.


2. Water Resistant

Leakage and seepage is a common problem in today’s times in the Indian homes. Damage due to water leakage gas become very common and is visible in every possible home. This happens because the flooring used is not water resistant.
But bathroom tiles and kitchen tiles are the best solution to this problem. Using tiles in such a situation is a boon. Tiles are water resistant. Therefore, such issues like water leakage do not affect tiles and they are considered to be very effective in such a situation.

Also, there are some wet areas in the house like bathroom, kitchen, etc. where usually there is a lot of water. In such areas also tiles can act as a major advantage because of their water resistance nature.

3. Easy to Clean
Another important factor to be considered is the cleanliness part. Usually cemented floors or marble or wood over a period of time starts fading away and has various stains which cannot be removed. This starts giving it a dirty look.


In such a scenario, tiles act as a savior as they are easy to clean. Using simple tile cleaning solutions you can keep these tiles as good as new for a long period of time.

4. Designs

Gone are the days when tiles were available in white color and square shape. In today’s times there are various colors, shapes and sizes available for kitchen tiles, bedroom tiles, bathroom tiles and what not. You can pick a tile as per the color and theme of your room.

Why One Should Use Wall Tiles?


I am someone who has had a house fetish since childhood. Ever since I understood the meaning of a home and looked around with people having such wonderful homes, I have always dreamt of having one for myself. Since then, I have dreamt of how my perfect dream home would look like.

Recently, while getting it done, we were just going through how to make the walls look better. There were various options that came up and were suggested by the architect. Wall paper was one of them or probably designer paints was another one. Then we went on to see tile options for the walls and that is where I decided I would go for this.


Wall tiles options were amazing. There were several advantages which convinced me for using wall tiles:

  1. Product Range

    Tiles are no more white and square in range. The variety of wall tiles offered was so huge that it just puzzled me. I never knew this was also an option to be considered. Be it color, shape or size, wall tiles had an amazing options to offer in each category.

  2. Easy to Clean

    Another major advantage of using tiles on the wall was they were easy to clean. With little kids at home, using tiles made a sensible choice as they could easily be cleaned with water or cleaners available in the market.

  3. Economical

    If you think tiles are expensive, you are highly mistaken. They are highly economical and offer much more in the price they take. So they will definitely not disturb your budget and only add on to the look of your dream home.

  4. Style Statement

    Since this was my first home from my own money, I wanted everything to be perfect and speak about the style that I carried. And that is probably the reason I went for wall tiles instead of other options. Designer wall tiles add on to the contemporary look of your home making a style statement.

  5. Easy to Manage

    In Indian homes, there are various things that can damage walls like seepage or probably many a times we see the walls broken and the cement being visible. Using tiles on the walls ensures your walls are protected from such things like seepage and they provide for a strong coating which ensures the walls don’t break and they don’t look damaged.
