ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF TILE
May 17, 2016
Durability: Natural stone tiles have the lowest life cycle cost among flooring material. Resistant to impact and abrasion, these tiles have an extreme low possibility of fragmenting or fracture. While in some exceptional cases, only if scratch occurs, individual tiles can be reinstated very easily. With proper installation, tile should last the lifetime of the structure.
Recyclable: Marble, ceramic and smalti tiles are made of earthly materials thus facilitates a natural recycling process. All of the un-fired materials are usually employed during the manufacturing process of producing new tiles.
IAQ: (Indoor Air Quality) Contrasting other flooring supplies, natural tiles don’t include explosive or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, or allergens that could unenthusiastically concern air quality sometimes. Usually when VOCs are strenuous indoors, the risk of poor air quality and health troubles becomes countless times larger. Additionally the vast majority of tiles don’t require sealants, waxes or other chemicals.
Mold-Resistant: Some tiles are also contrived in extremely high temperature, and absorb a little amount of water. Consequently ceramic tile is a hygienic material on which mold cannot easily form.
