Made from natural materials
-
Clay and natural stones: Most floor tiles, especially ceramic and porcelain, are made from natural materials like clay, sand, and stone.
-
Low emissions: The process of making tiles involves fewer harmful chemicals and emissions compared to the production of vinyl or laminate flooring.
Longevity and durability
-
Long-lasting: Floor tiles are known for their durability. They can last decades without needing to be replaced, which means fewer resources are used over time. While some other floor coverings may wear out and end up in landfill, tiles can stand the test of time.
-
Resistant to wear and tear: They resist scratches, stains, and water damage, so you won't need to replace them frequently, reducing waste.
Energy efficiency
-
Thermal mass: Tiles have a high thermal mass, which means they can absorb, store, and slowly release heat. During summer, they help keep your home cool, and in winter, they can retain warmth. This natural regulation can reduce your reliance on heating and cooling systems, saving energy.
Recyclable and reusable
-
Recyclable material: At the end of their life, tiles can be recycled. They can be crushed and used as a base material for new tiles or other construction purposes. This recycling process means fewer materials end up in landfill.
-
Reuse: If you renovate or change your tiles, many types can be reused. They can be repurposed in outdoor areas, as mosaic pieces, or in garden pathways.
Minimal waste
-
Timeless design: The range of tile designs means you can choose a timeless look that won’t go out of style quickly, reducing the need for frequent redecorating.
-
Precision cutting: Tile installation often involves precision cutting, which can minimise material wastage. Leftover pieces can also be used in smaller spaces or as decorative accents.
