Each person in your family has different tastes and interests. Sometimes, it can be difficult to pick a spot-on gift for them. Some of the gifts you find in the store might not convey the holiday spirit as well. Instead, prepare a gift that they will always remember and cherish. After all, making someone smile is very easy. The season of giving has plenty of opportunities for you to make others smile. Why not give the biggest gift ever and wow your family with a remodeled home? It can be a bit hectic at the start but the result is worth it. Make your holidays special by giving you and yourself a treat such as newly remodeled rooms.

Waiting for the last minute for gifts can be avoided. It’s not always intentional and you can potentially find hidden gems that your wife will surely appreciate. Instead of procrastinating, make a worthy investment for her gift. If you’re a husband who’s looking for the perfect gift for your wife, remodeling the bathroom according to her tastes can spark joy in her heart. It’s much more unique than getting a couple’s shirt for Christmas.

If you’ve been eyeing to remodel a part of your home, this is your opportunity to do so. You can refresh the look of your exteriors with a fresh set of tiles from a brand like Floor Center. You can get a wide variety of choices and different finishes that can fit both your exteriors and interiors. Michelangelo is a 60×60 matte tile available in three amazing neutral gray tones that can add texture and tactile experience to your flooring.

Remodeling projects usually take a lot of time, even in small scale remodels. However, the holidays give you ample time to invest in your remodeling. Take advantage of your vacation and head over to the store. Grab the supplies you need to deck your halls for the holidays. Instead of braving through traffic during peak days and hours, the holiday roads are usually empty, allowing you to shop for essentials. The holidays are also the best time to purchase some tiles from Floor Center.

You can create memories that can last forever with a project like this. It encourages unity and creativity. Once you finish the remodel, you can look at it together with awe. Knowing that you finished it together is a reward in itself.

 

Host Your Own Party

Anyone can relate to a memorable Christmas. However, some of these memories can be uncomfortable, long travels and exhausting drives. Instead of going to someone’s party, why not host your own? What you need for that is a freshly remodeled kitchen and dining area that can get the holiday cheer flowing. Remodeled kitchens can solidify upcoming parties in the next few months.

Another advantage of a remodeled kitchen? It can motivate you to spend more time in the kitchen trying out new recipes and experimenting on new cooking techniques. You’ll surely get your money’s worth in this remodeling project.

 

Beat the Heat

Remodeling during the summer is incredibly inconvenient. It’s warm and humid plus your workers can be demotivated during work. It’s important to provide the best conditions so that everyone is encouraged to finish their work. Instead of putting yourself through hot temperatures, save yourself time and energy by working during the holidays.

Not only will you beat the heat, but you’ll less likely use air-conditioning to keep yourself cool. This saves a lot of energy as you work on remodeling your home. It will also increase your productivity since you’re providing the best work conditions.

 

Key Takeaway

Deck the halls with house remodeling this holiday season. Take advantage of your free time and create a project that will welcome the new year. Usher in the new year with some fresh tiles from Floor Center. Go to your nearest branch now and we’ll help you find the perfect set for your project!

The Best Tile for Each Area of Your House

The Best Tile for Each Area of Your House

Your home flooring can experience a lot of hardships during its lifespan. But not all areas of your house will suffer; most probably only certain parts will get this kind of attention.

Rooms that get a high volume of foot traffic should have practical flooring installations. This means that you must refrain from installing tiles on the floors that will not last that long.

Foot traffic, slippages, water resistance, comfort, and the price of tiles in the Philippines—these are the things you should consider in order to ensure you receive a worthwhile investment.

As much as you want to install porcelain and ceramic tiles in every room of your home, you actually have more options that you can explore. For instance, wooden tiles and vinyl tiles are great choices for certain areas!

Let’s analyze some of the best tile options that you can choose to install at certain areas of your house.

 

Ceramic for Living and Dining Room

Living rooms and dining rooms are the common areas of a house. The flooring in these rooms should be durable enough to support large furniture. For instance, a living room has the sofa, coffee table, stand for the TV, bookcases, etc. Meanwhile, the dining room has a table and a number of chairs that will seat everyone during meal times.

Ceramic tiles are incredibly durable and scratch resistant—which comes in handy if you are moving your furniture around. Plus, its original color does not fade for a long time.

 

Porcelain for the Kitchen

Porcelain tiles are the most durable and water-resistant out of all of the other tile options. Overall, it outperforms all of the other flooring materials in every aspect that is important in a kitchen. Some of which include resistance to stains, spills, scratches, and dents. It is also pretty durable—a great feature to have on your kitchen flooring since it can become really busy there.

Porcelain for Bathrooms and Laundry

Porcelain for Bathrooms and Laundry Rooms

Once again, porcelain tiles are the best option when it comes to these rooms in your house. Thanks to its characteristics (which were already discussed above), it’s a nice flooring option to have in your laundry rooms and bathrooms.

However, instead of the typical glossy porcelain tiles, the tiles used in here are textured. Try to avoid tiles with a glossy finish because they may cause you and your family to slip. Textured tiles are better for these rooms because they have some grip—something that’s very important in a place that is usually wet and slippery.

 

Vinyl Tiles for Bedrooms

These rooms need a more comfortable feel to them. With that being said, the regular hardness of porcelain tiles makes them a little too harsh in these areas. Vinyl tiles, however, are the better alternative!

Vinyl tiles are durable, low maintenance, and stylish. They can actually be used in most areas in your home. If you are wondering about the price of these tiles in the Philippines, you’ll be glad to know that they are usually cheaper than porcelain tiles.

They are also a good choice for these rooms because they often feel lighter and softer compared to other tile options. They also have various designs you can choose from, meaning you can easily match them to your interior. For instance, check out FC Floor Center’s chic [30×30] 15-066 tile design:

Key Takeaway

Porcelain and vinyl tiles are currently becoming some of the most sought-after tiles in the country. In most cases, vinyl can be used as an alternative to porcelain when it comes to design. However, vinyl can make a name for itself by outmatching porcelain in comfort!

No matter what it is, these two are probably the best flooring options that you have when you plan on renovating your house, starting with your home flooring!
