Are Tiles Better Than Carpets

By Randy Hummer


It's a good question . Tiles are hard materials entail materials like stone. Tiles are typically used to cover large floor area, sinks, walls in the comfort room, roofs, and perhaps your tabletops. Today, tiles have alternately referred sometimes similarly made from perlite, wood, and mineral wool, typically used for wall and ceiling applications.

Carpets are floor covering textile made up of upper layer of "pile". Carpets are often either composed of wool or simply a manmade fibre just like polypropylene, nylon, or polyester and often are made up of twisted tufts and so are often heat-treated to support their structure. Carpet sometimes called "rug" People sometimes called carpet like an extension of wall. Several people define rug as of low qualities while carpets usually have knots. Historically, carpets were made for tables and wall coverings and thought to be the best art in the Arab world. Not that flying carpet we imagined during our younger years.

Why tile is better than carpet? Tiles can cover floors, sinks, walls, roofs and ceilings at the most area while carpets can cover walls and floors. It is ugly to see carpets cover ceilings, sinks, roofs and even tabletops. Your room will be elegant and attractive with tiles, especially with designs, while carpets with attractive designs due to the art, is limited to specific area. It is easy to clean the tiles than the carpets.

Using recommended vinegar, removing dirt from tiles can be easy one, unlike carpets, when dirt settles inside the carpet, can be difficult when cleaned. Dirt traps in the carpet and when unclean for a long time, may lead to serious health risks especially to people or family members having allergies. Also on tiles, can lead to serious health risk when unclean together with grout, for a long time.

Tiles are a bit too expensive compare to carpets and difficult to install it without proper skills but it is much more durable than most carpets do. Tiles can endure long tear and wear up to ten years, but cannot absorb pressure well unlike carpets Carpet are less expensive unlike tiles, but cannot endure wear and tear on the long run

Tiles are ideal to houses in hot and tropical areas because tiles retain coolness thus even the environment is hot, you can feel the tiles cool, while carpets are ideal to houses in the winter areas because like tiles, carpets can keep heat, since most of the carpets are made of wool, and they emit heat, therefore even when the environment is too cold, you can just roll down to the carpet.

So there you have it, tiles have more benefits than carpets, but it depends on you, the customers. But the important matter is that both can beautifies your homes and give lively due to its art and elegance.
