Porcelain Tile Adds Value to Kitchens When Selling Your Home

New flooring is always one of the most popular home improvement projects when homeowners are considering remodelling. One of the most popular rooms in the home to remodel is the kitchen.  Many homeowners and families spend a lot of time in the kitchen area cooking, eating, and hosting guests for food and drinks, thus making it prone to spills and dirt.  Also many homes have entrances into the kitchen area, making it a high traffic area in the home.  All things considered a durable and easy to clean flooring product in the kitchen can add tremendous value to the home.  One of the most durable flooring products for the kitchen is porcelain tile.  The point of this blog post is to point out the advantages of porcelain tile in the kitchen, how it adds value to the home, and the many selections of tile products, patterns, and colors.

Lets first start with the advantages of installing porcelain tile in your kitchen. One major advantage of installing porcelain tile in the kitchen is that it is easy to clean.  Most porcelain tile flooring products have a smooth non-porous veneer, making it difficult for drinks and food products to stain the surface of the tile. This veneer also makes it easy to sweep, wipe, mop, and clean the surface area. With all the cooking, pouring of liquids, and cleaning of dishes and cooking utensils, the kitchen is more prone to spills and dirt then any other area of the house.  It is an advantage to any homeowner who does a lot of cooking to have an easy to clean flooring surface. 

Another major advantage of installing porcelain tile in the kitchen is its durability.  With the kitchen being one of the most high traffic areas in the home, the hard surface makes it hold up for a lot longer time then many other flooring products. Even in a high traffic area of the home, many porcelain tile manufacturers guarantee up to 50 years of use out of tile flooring products.  50 years is a lot longer then the average amount of time a homeowner will stay in a particular home. The long lifespan of porcelain tile also beats other popular kitchen flooring products by 25 years or more in most cases. Due to the long lifespan of porcelain tile flooring products, porcelain tile can cost a little more upfront to install, however the durability far outweighs initial upfront cost in the long run.

Considering all the advantages of porcelain tile, it is easy to see why it adds value to the home. A new home buyer takes into consideration the fact, that with a tile floor they are probably not going to have to ever replace the tile. Porcelain tile is also a very popular flooring product in today's housing market.  Having porcelain tile already installed in your home, can make it stand out against other homes on the market, that have less durable flooring products in the kitchen. Many prospective home buyers take this into consideration when making there decision on which home to buy.  In subdivisions where many homes look the same, and have the same building products inside, differentiating your home with porcelain tile in the kitchen, can be the deciding factor in your home selling before another.

Last but not least, another selling point of porcelain tile is the many different styles, sizes, colors, and patterns which can be used when installing porcelain tile in the kitchen.  This gives homeowners a lot more options to be creative when doing a kitchen remodel.  Although the running bond pattern is probably the most popular tile pattern, staggering the grout lines and running the tile on an angle can really make a good tile product stand out even more.  Take a look at one of our recent porcelain tile installations, and see how this pattern can really make an already good looking tile flooring product, look even better.

As you can see, this pattern really makes this good looking porcelain tile product stand out even more.  Although it is personal choice on what you like in your home, tile patterns can really make a big difference in the overall look.

In conclusion, porcelain tile is an excellent home improvement, and kitchen remodel idea. The many advantages of porcelain tile such as the durability, ease to clean, and lifespan of the product make it a great home improvement project for any homeowner.  Also, adding value to the home is always a good home improvement project.
