The Shift to Better Flooring

Why are porcelain tiles better for flooring?

  1. They Are Masterfully Crafted
  2. They Are Environmentally Friendly
  3. They Are Wear Resistant
  4. They Are Low Maintenance
  5. They Are Simple and Clean

 

The shift to better flooring starts with knowing what the best floor types are. Many homemakers usually choose ceramic tiles because they’re easy to find and are quite affordable. But what if there was a different variety you can use but with better features? Not a lot of consumers and business owners know about porcelain tiles. These tiles are known for their inherent strength, craftsmanship, and improvements over ceramic tiles.

If you want to slowly introduce porcelain tiles to your home, Floor Center is giving you the perfect opportunity to shift to better flooring. Floor Center is upgrading a plethora of ceramic tiles to porcelain without increasing price. Let’s take a look at the advantages of porcelain tiles for flooring.

 

Porcelain Tiles Are Masterfully Crafted

Porcelain tiles are made from dense clay that’s cooked in high temperatures. The blend of natural materials fired within the furnace results in a non-porous and durable flooring suitable for various spaces. These tiles are shaped by blending pure clay and minerals through a dry pressing method. Once the baking process is finished, the result is an extremely durable tile that’s chip-resistant.

Porcelain tiles are also available in a number of designs that can simulate natural stone and textiles. If you’ve always wanted to invest in natural stone tiles but detest the prices and low durability, porcelain tiles are the perfect option for you. New technology allows for easier printing of natural textures on porcelain tiles. You can get a variety of looks in small and large formats at the fraction of the cost.

 

Porcelain Tiles Are Environmentally Friendly

Porcelain tiles are environmentally friendly due to its natural blend of materials. Minimal waste is produced when making this tile. Porcelain has inherent properties that require no chemical agents to enhance these effects. Waterproofing, stain proofing, and shine are available out of the box when it comes to porcelain tiles. When using natural stone tiles, lead is used to polish the surface. Porcelain tiles do not make use of dangerous chemicals and this prevents it from emitting dangerous gasses when exposed to open flames.

 

Porcelain Tiles Are Wear Resistant

Compared to ceramic tiles, porcelain is highly wear-resistant due to how it’s made. Porcelain tiles have a longer lifespan, unlike ceramic tiles. The uniform construction of porcelain tiles is comprised of fewer air pockets which all contribute to the density of the tile. Porcelain tiles are harder and thicker than other materials which are perfect for commercial use and high traffic areas. Business owners, in particular, can benefit from the long-wear and long life span of these porcelain tiles.

 

Porcelain Tiles Are Low Maintenance

Porcelain tiles are very easy to clean and require little to no maintenance. This material doesn’t require any special sealants to keep it water-resistant. The fewer pores make it easier to clean and water wipes off easily without damaging the surface. This makes porcelain tiles the perfect flooring for bathrooms, kitchens, and patios. Areas prone to moisture can greatly benefit from this low maintenance tile. Although it’s not entirely waterproof, it’s still easy to maintain the integrity of the tiles by simply wiping away the water as soon as any spill happens.

 

Porcelain Tiles Are Simple and Clean

Due to the fewer pores in porcelain tiles, staining and harboring bacteria on the surface is easy to remove by simply wiping it away. Neat and tidy spaces for kid’s rooms and kitchens can be achieved with this flooring material. Any dust, dirt, and grime can be swept away without damaging the finish. Keeping your porcelain tiles clean can be as simple as using a mild floor detergent and a good mop. This is a clear advantage over other tiles as you can keep your flooring for longer.

 

Key Takeaway

The best floor types are the ones you can easily maintain and clean. If you’re looking for a floor type that’s suitable for home use and business use, porcelain is the perfect material for you. Porcelain tiles are durable, clean and are available in varying designs. It’s easy to maintain with a simple cleaning routine and mild cleansing agents.

How to Achieve a Coastal Feel in your Home

What should you consider in order to get a coastal feel for your home?

  1. Coastal color scheme
  2. Choice of décor
  3. Overall styling

In a tropical country like the Philippines, locals are lucky because the beach is relatively close to most places. That doesn’t mean, however, that people would not like to feel the warmth and freshness of the beach right in the comfort of their homes.

In the Philippines, the design of tiles can tremendously help in bringing out the coastal feel in home designs. Pair that with your usual décor and an interesting layout of furniture, and your home can feel like a beach house by the coast of Boracay!

Coastal Color Scheme

Coastal Color Scheme

The most apparent way to create a coastal feel in your home is to use the colors reminiscent of that environment. The coastal retreat is all about the muted yet windswept colors. Play around natural white, stone, pebble grey, and a bit of vibrancy with palm green, refreshing sky blue, and shades of rusty brown.

Make sure to make muted colors the primary color for your design and add accents of vibrancy that can bring life to the whole design. A good tip is to design your walls and floor with either natural white, or grey tones and then add color through your furniture, décor, and other pieces of accents.

For your floor tiles, you can play around with its design. You can keep it simple and choose pure colored ones. However, for an added aesthetic feel, you can choose from our Tropical or Classic collection. The tropical collection has that rustic look while the classic collection gives you the glossy factor. Choose carefully because in the Philippines, the Tiles’ design is vital in making these concepts complete.

Choice of Décor

Choice of DécorFor a coastal feel, you would want to be as simple as you can be while also prioritizing comfort. Choose furniture that is low slung and have clean lines. To further emphasize comfort, get yourself some oversized cushions. This design can transform even the simple task of sitting in your living room into an amazing experience – as if you were sitting down by a seaside lounge.

For any wooden furniture, choose whitewashed wood. This is a classic choice for your coastal abode. You can emulate this on your floor tiles through our Nara Collection, particularly the Moon and Taupe styles. Another tip is to make sure that you use fabrics that add depth and texture to your interior.

From washed, crumpled linens to natural fibers and heavy woven knits, there are a variety of ways to spice up your already cozy coastal design. Wall décor such as paintings and picture frames are also encouraged, though they’re better off with whitewashed frames, or as plain canvasses. Put up giant photos of the ocean or any coastal area for more ambiance. You can also add potted plants to your design!

Overall Styling

Overall StylingTo fully achieve a coastal feel for your home, you have to focus on getting back to nature. Imagine the coasts with its light waves and long sandy beaches. Some beach towels and umbrellas near the coast and at the back some palm leaves and a few small wooden establishments.

Now put the feeling you get there into your home design. The secret here is to keep things simple and comfortable. Your bigger items, the sofas, and tables should be as simple as they can be on their own. Layer them with pillows, rugs, wall art, and a vase of tropical plants. Make sure that most of the décor you use as accents are made of natural material such as woven baskets to add another element of texture.

Then, use stripped carpets or hang stripped beach towels by the walls. We suggest installing tiles from our Chantilly collection to add more muted colors—further helping emphasize the other décor that you add. Add a little more of your personal touch and you can easily end up with a tropical, coastal feel for your home.

Key Takeaway

You don’t need to live by the beach to have a coastal home. With just a few little decorative changes, you’ll be able to transform your home into a coastal retreat that is cozy, refreshing, and aesthetically pleasing. If you are thinking of more ideas to design your home for a coastal feel, visit a Floor Center branch near you and ask about the products that can help you achieve this style!

10 Must Have Tools for a DIY Tile Installation

10 Must Have Tools for A DIY Tile Installation

What should you have to facilitate a proper tile installation?

  1. Wooden handle slicker
  2. Tile Spacer
  3. Tile cutter
  4. Foam/Tile Sponge
  5. Grout float
  6. Notched trowel
  7. Putty knife
  8. Grout Remover
  9. Levelling ruler
  10. Measuring Pail

 

Often homeowners would go to different lengths just to make sure that their homes are as beautiful as possible. In the Philippines, the price of tiles make it possible for them to do so without breaking the bank and this is proven especially if you do a DIY tile installation.

When it comes to tiles, you can choose to have professionals install them for you, but they’re almost always expensive. That being said, it’s perfectly possible for you to install tiles on your own through the help of a guide or videos you can find online.

Of course, you can’t do tile installations all on your own. You need to have the appropriate tools in order for you to do your work efficiently and effectively. Keep in mind that you don’t need to buy them per se. It’s possible for you to find a way to rent them if you look hard enough. So, without further ado, here is a list of tools that you would need for a very easy DIY installation!

 

 

Wooden Handle Slicker

Wooden Handle Slicker

This tool is fairly similar to the putty knife but is increased in length. It’s also used for scraping and spreading materials before putting on the tiles. There’s another version of this tool that has some sort of teeth by its edges.

This one is more attuned to the task of spreading and setting materials evenly.  When used to spread and set materials, the teeth create strips of it that will spread evenly when a tile is laid on it. This tool makes it easier for you to create even spreads of adhesive over large areas which are perfect for floor tile installations.

 

Tile Spacer

When it comes to tile installations, precision is very important. Even just a millimeter out of your intended spacing can cause a domino effect, completely ruining your whole flooring. With tile spacers, however, you can always be sure that you have the right amount of distance between tiles.

5mm tile spacers are almost always used for floor installations, though you can also find 3mm and 4mm ones. These tile spacers are perfect for installations that involve laying of natural stone tiles, porcelain tiles, and ceramic tiles.

 

Tile Cutter

For every tile installation project, you will need a tile cutter, especially for those tight corners where the dimensions of the tiles you’re using is not an appropriate fit. In general, tile cutters usually need electricity or at least water in order to cleanly cut the tiles. Fortunately for you, FC’s Tile Cutter does not need either of the two.

Our Tile cutters are eco-friendly and safe to use. It is also known for its high precision cutting. This enables it to reduce decorative costs and facilitate better construction.

 

FoamTile Sponge

Foam/Tile Sponge

This is practically the same as any sponge that you use. It’s used to clean impervious surfaces by removing dust and dirt that has accumulated on the tiles.

 

Grout Float

A rather trowel-like tool, this one is used to smoothen the surface of a grout line. A grout float is usually used to spread and compact the grout put into the tile joints. By applying firm and constant pressure, the grout becomes uniformly packed into the joints and leveled with the tile.

 

Notched Trowel

This tool is used for a number of tile and hardwood installations. Its primary use is to spread and comb the adhesive used to attach the tile toe floor. A notched trowel usually has teeth which make it incredibly easy and efficient to spread and smoothen the adhesive—making the laying of the tile way smoother.

 

Putty Knife

This is a tool that has a broad flat metal blade. Its primary use is to apply putty to joints, seams, and flaws on walls or floors. It can also be used to remove paint and other materials from surfaces.

 

Grout Remover

Grout Remover

This small hand tool is a slam steel blade that’s covered with carbide grit. It’s used to efficiently remove the old discolored grout found in old floors and walls.

 

Levelling Ruler

This device is needed to determine whether the surface of your tile is leveled. It shows whether the surface is horizontal or vertical. This can usually be seen by the use of a bubble in a slightly curved glass tube.

 

Measuring Pail

For your Measuring Pail, you need strong ones and not just generic types that you would see in retail stores. You need these for when you choose to make the thin-set mortar out of a powdered base.

These buckets will be useful for isolating the mixture from the rest of your home so that it won’t form into unwanted blots of cement.

Make sure that you have at least two buckets, one for the main mixture and another for sponging off the grout.

 

Key Takeaway

With the proper tools and guides, you can do tile installations on your own. Even with the prices of the varying tiles in the Philippines, it won’t cost you much to do them on your own when compared to when you get professionals to do it for you.

That being said, it’s still fairly worth getting professional tilers to do it for you if you have the budget to do so! Talk to us here, and we’ll help you during your tile installation that will ultimately make your home more stylish!

Tile Price in the Philippines: What are The Easiest Floors to Clean

Tiles Price in the Philippines What are the Easiest Floors to Clean

What are the easiest floors to clean?

  1. Dark-Patterned
  2. Ava
  3. Oak
  4. Zeno

 

When it comes to finding floors with a cheap tiles price in the Philippines but are also easy to clean, these are what homeowners usually look for:

  • It should not hold stains from liquids, because permanent stains can add discoloration.
  • Dirt and debris should not be trapped in its pores
  • It will not be easy to scar, and thus, you do need to apply scratch remover solutions.

Unfortunately, there are some external factors and fixtures in your home that can make them look dirty. In order to avoid this, choose from this list of floor tiles which can help you keep the cleanliness of your home up to standard. Check them out below!

 

Dark-Patterned

30x60 Mono

A good way to ensure that your flooring will always be easy to clean is by selecting a product in a dark hue. One example of this is the 30×60 Milan 11 which is a graphic black tile imprinted with rows of balanced horizontal patterns. Despite its delicate looking-appearance, a dark tile’s surface will not be affected even if strong acidic and base chemicals land on them. Thus, you do not have to worry about stains.

Additionally, watching out for mold to clean will not be a great concern with this dark glass mosaic tile. Mold is a common fungal problem seen on most surfaces of a home. Usually, this fungus develops when dirt is able to reach the pores of your floors and become trapped. Mold grows because of added moisture so be careful when you are maintaining or cleaning it. Fortunately, dirt cannot easily penetrate mosaic floors because it is non-porous.

This dark-patterned glass tile is a good deal for its tile price in the Philippines, not just because it is easy to care for. It has an artistic elegance because it is characterized by intricate patterns and a luxurious shine.

 

 

Ava

60x60 Ava

The 60×60 Ava and the 60×60 AK6004 Onyx is an example of a polished floor. When you buy floor tiles with a polished or glossy finish, stains will become the least of your concerns. This is because their ceramic glaze makes it impossible for liquid spills to remain on top of the tile’s surface.

Liquids just slide off the glazed layers because they consist of these properties: silica and alumina. Silica adds water and acid-resistance to Ava tiles, while alumina makes them impervious to scarring from abrasion and resistance.

Your only concern when it comes to cleaning polished Ava tiles is maintaining its original glossy level. The best way to maintain its unblemished shine is by wiping it with a slightly acidic solution made out of vinegar and water. Acid can remove the mineral deposits on the glossy tile which cannot be removed by just water.

 

Oak

30x30 Oak

The 30×30 Oak, just like other hardwood floors, is resistant against scratches because of its durability and compressibility. The surface of the wood is hard to damage because they weight a lot. Oak, just like other domestic hardwood, weighs at least 1500 pounds. You do not have to worry about finding ways to remove these permanent scratches while you are cleaning.

Additionally, hardwood floors are always coated with a glossy finish that also makes them stain-resistant. Your only problem with oak tiles is the dust and debris that tend to collect on top of this finish. It is suggested you remove the particles by mopping them with a soap solution or by using a vacuum. Do not use a broom because the debris and dust will just go back to the air.

 

Zeno

30x30 Zeno

The 30×30 Zeno 32OT Cube Gravel floor tiles are a product that will be easy to clean because one, it is hard to stain with liquids and dirt due to its glossy glaze layer. Its colorful patterns will help the floors hide scratch mark and scars because of its very bright appearance.

If scratches do ever become visible to the naked eye, you can remove it by applying non-gel toothpaste to these marks using a damp cloth with buffing motions. The toothpaste is able to remove stubborn marks because it is mildly abrasive and as a result, it will make them disappear or ultimately less noticeable.

 

Key Takeaway

Easy to clean floors do not have to be impervious to all elements of the environment, but these should make the lives of homeowners easier. Floor Center recognizes the benefits that easy-to-clean floors can give to its clients. Affordability coupled with functionality is what we aim to achieve with our tiles.
