How to Select Tiles for Kitchen

Selecting tiles for your kitchen is a tricky affair as it highly depends on the usage, aesthetics and materials used in the tile. Depending on the material used and the method of manufacturing we have porcelain tiles, vitrified tiles and ceramic tiles. The most commonly used tile in the kitchen is ceramic tiles due to its resilient nature. While selecting a tile you must also keep an eye on the budget and safety concerns like it should not be slippery. Let us see some of the tips to select tiles for kitchen:

• For kitchen, you must select clean and stain resistant tiles like porcelain and ceramic tiles which are porous and do not absorb moisture and stain.
• Vinyl, cork and bamboo tiles can be used for kitchen flooring and you must ensure that they have anti-skid properties as kitchen floors are usually slippery due to water and food spillage. 
• Quarry, ceramic and porcelain can be used for counters and also floors, while glass tile is used for walls and backsplashes. 
• Countertops can have ceramic tiles as they can withstand the heat from hot pans, and they are very easy to clean and maintain.
• Only use tiles branded as floor tiles for the floors of a kitchen. If you use wall tiles for floors, their COF (Coefficient of friction) is low, and they will be very slippery for walking.
• Quarry tile can be one of the best options for kitchen flooring which is a limestone and clay based tile fired to look like natural stone. It gives an elegant and refined look to your kitchen.
