At Genoa Custom Interiors one question we hear over and over is whether ceramic tile can be used on floors. The answer is yes, it can be used on floors but there are various types of ceramics and they all behave differently in various installations. For example, the 4 X 4 ceramic square is going to behave very differently than porcelain, which is a type of ceramic. Check with your tile flooring retailer to be sure you have the right grade. Porcelain is made of a non-porous clay called Kaolin and also includes some sand and glass.
Luxury doesn't necessarily translate to high maintenance and hardwood floors are a perfect example of that. They give your home a lot of elegance but are very low maintenance. You do need to be mindful of the seasons; for example, winter brings snow, ice, and salt while spring can bring wetness and dirt. That means your cleaning routines may have to change up a bit, but you should always sweep or dust every day. Dust forms everywhere and can embed between the boards and wreak havoc. Here are some tips from Genoa Custom Interiors, your source for hardwood floors in Genoa, OH.
Just because you can't have the real thing doesn't mean your home should be deprived of modern, stylish trends or current convenience. As an example, wood floors are ultra-popular, but can't be installed everywhere because of water and humidity damage. With luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) you can still have a true-to-life wood look, together with a high function such as waterproofing, durability, and easy maintenance. To top it off, this is a prestige, and very affordable, product, so go ahead and have those gray, whitewashed, or barn door weathered floors.
