When it comes time to choose new tile flooring for your home there are a few things that should be taken into consideration. The Porcelain Enamel Institute has developed a standard that can help decide which tile is best suited to the purpose. The PEI scale is from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most resistant to abrasion. It is suggested that tile flooring in Naperville that is installed in light wear areas can be class 2 while tiles used in heavy wear areas such as the kitchen should be minimum class 3.
There are a few other things that should be taken into account:
* Tile color: The objective is to coordinate the color of the floor tile with the rest of the room. Bear in mind what is in the room, in the kitchen consider the finish on the cabinets, the work top and accent colors. Generally speaking, light colors tend to make the area appear larger while dark colors add a feeling of warmth. Neutral colors are ideal as you are free to change your accessories at will.
* Tile size: Tile flooring in Naperville is available in a wealth of sizes, anything from tiny mosaics to large porcelain panels. When you are sizing a tile for the room you can attain a proportional appearance if there are three tiles of the same size in a row across the floor. Larger size tiles tend to make the area appear larger as there is less impact from the tile grout.
* Tile surface texture: Floor tiles with a matte finish or a textured finish are less slippery than high gloss, smooth tiles. This is important, especially if the tiles are going to be installed in an area where there is liable to be water such as the bathroom, kitchen or at the entryway into your home.
As there are so many sizes, colors, patterns, textures, etc, it is always a great idea to visit a well stocked supplier where you can actually see and feel the tiles for yourself.
