Water is the enemy of flooring. Of the many flooring options available, only a very small number are suited to handle an influx of water. Among this select few is the porcelain tile. The big advantage of porcelain tile is that it doesn’t absorb water. Since water damage can account for a lot of damage to floors, this puts it ahead of other flooring options for these rooms in your home.
Kitchen floors are highly susceptible to potential spills. These floors have to withstand the assault of liquids on a fairly regular basis. That is why the Porcelain Tile in Folsom CA is a good option for kitchens. The liquid remains on the surface of the tile. That means that liquid spills will not have any opportunity to soak into you sub-floor and cause massive amounts of damage.
Another room that is highly susceptible to water is the bathroom. Bathrooms are notorious for the amount of water that they have to endure. It is natural that the flooring in the bathroom becomes exposed to water. Because constant exposure to water will eventually damage most flooring materials, material that doesn’t absorb water is a necessity. Unlike other flooring options, the porcelain tile also has a texture that prevents it from becoming completely slippery when wet.
The laundry room is another room that is a good candidate for porcelain tile in Folsom CA. Even though the flooring may not need as much water protection as in the kitchen and bathroom, it is still vulnerable to water. Dripping laundry and overflowing machines can quickly damage flooring unable to handle the sudden influx of water. This can cause major damage to the floors in the laundry room. Since the tile is protected during its life rather than the lifespan of a sealant, this highly used room can benefit from having flooring that has no water absorption.
These are the rooms where porcelain tiles are a flooring to consider. Since these rooms are highly susceptible to water, a material that can withstand water is a necessity.
