Durability

First, tile flooring is more durable than hardwood. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are extremely long-lasting and will withstand heavy foot traffic. They are also water resistant, so they won’t warp or rot if there’s a flood or you spill liquids on them. This makes tile flooring great for bathrooms and kitchens. If you have children or pets at home, tile floors are an excellent choice for you. They are also resistant to fading and scratching, so they will look like new for years to come.

Maintenance 

Tile is one of the easiest flooring materials to clean and maintain. It does not require any fancy tools or expensive cleaners. A simple broom or mop is often all you need to keep tile floors looking their best!

Affordability

Wood-look tile is surprisingly budget-friendly, especially in comparison to traditionally expensive hardwoods. While it is known for its durability, if you do ever need to replace it, you can find similar tiles at any hardware store for a low price.
