Three Reasons Why Natural Tile Flooring is a Good Option

A Bloomfield homeowner who is remodeling his or her home will find that there are many tile flooring options to pick from. Even so, there are several reasons why natural tile flooring stands out from other tile flooring options, making it an ideal choice for the living room, kitchen, bathroom, entryway and/or bedroom.

Great Appearance

Natural stone is unique, which means that every single house that has natural stone tiles will have its own unique look and ambiance. There are also plenty of color and style options to pick from. Travertine, one of the most popular types of natural stone, is available in light gray, making it easy to match the floor with the existing walls and/or furniture. Marble and limestone have a luxurious feel and are ideal for an elegant, stylish home.

What is more, the natural look is trending this year, which means installing natural stone tiles in the home can increase its value and make it easier to sell the home at a good price than it would have been otherwise. 

Eco-Friendly Nature

Natural stone is eco-friendly in nature. While there is some debate regarding how the stones are cut and transported, natural stone tiles are pollution free and do not draw upon a limited resource (as does hardwood flooring).

Durability

Natural stone must be sealed and maintained properly if it is to stand the tests of time. Even so, natural stone is one of the hardest stone options on the market and it can last for many years. It can be re-polished if scratches occur although it may be wise to install felt pieces under sofas, chairs and other hard surfaces that will be moved over the floor.

A homeowner who is looking for appealing, durable, good looking flooring for any room of the home should seriously consider natural stone and all that it has to offer. There are various natural stone options to pick from, including slate, marble, limestone, travertine, sandstone and granite. The stones look good in any room of the home and will last for many years if given proper care. While it costs more to install natural stone tiles than it would to install other types of tile flooring Bloomfield, the additional expense is well worth it as stone tiles can significantly increase a home's value.
