Why Indian Granite Tile
Why Indian Granite Tile
There are tons of different materials in present time use for tile, so why granite tiles? Fine, for starters, granite tiles are perhaps one of the hardest, most durable and long lasting mediums available for tiles.
In the residence, different rooms may benefit from different types of granite tiles, but for kitchens, granite stands out head and shoulders above the rest. It is, of course a personal choice dictated by use, amount of human traffic and overall aesthetics. Here we will discuss the pros and cons of granite tiles as a great looking, extremely durable, easy to maintain and easy to clean material for your interior tile and how granite tile really is hard to beat!
Granite tiles and kitchens go together like hand and glove. The kitchen is the one room in the house where the tile gets maximum use and suffers the most in the way of spills of all kinds, dropped items likely to cause damage and constant cleaning. So granite tile, being the most capable tile material to endure everything a kitchen can throw at it, really is a great choice for that room in the house. Granite tile comes in many different styles and patterns so it will always look good and aesthetically pleasing.
Granite tile, being one of the hardest, most durable materials for tile there is, makes it a supreme choice for a kitchen tile. It is resilient to staining as well as acid and alkali chemical spills. It will resist grease, fat and oil spills as well as boiling water, tea and coffee, fizzy, sugary drinks; in fact just about anything a hyperactive chef can throw at it! It will survive being bombarded by falling cutlery, crockery and glassware as long as the resulting rubble is swiftly swept up and not left to be ground in by a myriad of shod feet. This leads us on to keeping your granite tile clean.
Cleaning and maintenance of a granite tile is a relatively simple procedure. Sweeping and mopping with warm water daily, as well as following any accidental crockery breakages will keep it clean and shiny. A once weekly clean with stone soap, followed by a rinsing mop with plain water helps to keep the tile sealed and shiny. Having said this, there is one disadvantage of granite tile that needs to be highlighted.
Despite its hardness, granite can be scratched by quartz. Quartz is a sand-like material that can be brought into a home on the soles of shoes. The heavy human traffic that a kitchen gets could cause those small, sandy particles that are deposited over the surface of the granite to cause minute scratches. This will create a dulling effect on the surface, which, if left to worsen over time, will require specialist treatment to recover its original luster. Restoring a badly scratched and dulled granite tile is expensive and there is a good chance that the process with alter the color of the granite tile. For this reason, it is best to practice “prevention is better than cure” and get into the habit of sweeping and mopping daily to minimize this potential problem.
Despite its one easily avoidable disadvantage, a granite tile makes an extremely good looking, durable, hard wearing and easily cleaned and maintained surface custom made for most designs of kitchen. So for kitchen tiles, granite tile really is hard to beat.
