Benefits of Stone-Effect Tiles

Stone-effect (also known as stoneware) porcelain tiles have been a popular choice for many years, and the huge range of benefits they provide means that this is likely to continue for many years to come! These tiles are incredibly durable, versatile, and give off a natural beauty that makes them a practical and stylish stone tile choice for any home.

How do I choose the right stone tiles

Available in a range of finishes, stone-effect porcelain tiles are versatile and can be made to recreate the effect of a wide range of stone types. Whether you are looking for outdoor flagstones, rustic kitchen flooring, or a contemporary stone finish, there is certainly a stone-effect tile available. The range of colours and textures is almost endless, from pale natural stone effects to dramatic charcoal tones to shimmering silvers and greys.

Stone-effect tiles have the benefit of looking like natural stone tiles but are more durable than real stone as they are non-porous and stain resistant. This means that for many homeowners, they are the perfect choice as they are both an economical and low-maintenance option. In high-traffic areas such as the kitchen or hallways, options such as flagstone-look or industrial effect tiles are a go-to for many customers. The fact that they are less prone to cracks, chips, and general wear and tear makes them especially appealing to busy family homes. Stone-effect tiles also have the added benefit of being great with underfloor heating. Savings are considerable, especially when purchasing stoneware versions of marble, onyx, or travertine. Customers are able to achieve a high-end, opulent finish for a fraction of the cost, whilst still getting all the natural characteristics of the natural stone floor tiles. 

Due to advancements in manufacturing and technology, the aesthetic qualities of stone-effect porcelain tiles can be refined and their longevity guaranteed. The inconsistency in the appearance of natural stone can be removed, meaning your flooring tiles can be installed with a seamless and stunning appearance. Whether you want a contemporary concrete or industrial finish in your bathroom, or a contemporary stone-effect tile in your modern living space, the production of high-quality, consistent stone-effect tiles is now easy to achieve.

Finally, in our environmentally conscious age, it is an added bonus to know that stone-effect porcelain tiles are eco-friendly. They are made from natural materials, which are recyclable. They are also far more energy-efficient to manufacture than natural stone tiles, which can be difficult to source, cut, and transport. What better benefit could there be to an already aesthetic type of flooring than to add some green credentials?

When considering the benefits of stone-effect porcelain tiles, it is clear the list is long. Any of these individual benefits could make this flooring option highly appealing. But when the list is considered as a whole, it is no surprise at all that stone-effect porcelain tiles are such a popular floor choice for homes across the country.
