Ceramics for the kitchen: tiles with imitation of wood, stone and brick

The kitchen is a place where the hostess spends a lot of time, therefore, the choice of ceramic tiles for her should be taken with all seriousness and responsibility. First of all, the material must be very strong and resistant to shocks. Ceramic tiles are made of sand and clay. To do this, the sand-clay mass is poured into special forms and put in the oven. The finished product is a square or rectangular plate of different sizes - from very small, palm-sized, to large meter varieties.

If we are talking about kitchen tiles on the floor, then it is better to give preference to porcelain stoneware - a durable floor tile. It is resistant to shock, high loads, abrasive substances, scratches. On the porcelain stoneware you can walk in heels and even jump on them. For the office you will need a very durable porcelain tile, for the home you can buy tiles of not such a high strength class. Floor tiles can withstand hot fat, vinegar, falling pans, rearranging the kitchen.

If you do not like porcelain tile, then get a decorative ceramic tile. This material is durable, attractive, with a diverse texture. But still, it is better for the kitchen to choose a tile of smooth texture, so that it is easier to care for it. The more grooves, dimples, and carved parts, the more difficult it is to wash the tiles after cooking.
