    When tiling busy areas of your home, you have to look for tiles that are strong, tough and capable of handling constant movement. Whether it’s a bustling kitchen or a constantly packed living room, choosing the right tiles means you are all good for at least a few decades.

    In this blog, we have compiled some of the most durable tiles that can keep your space looking like new even after witnessing high traffic.

    Porcelain Tiles

    Porcelain Tiles are one of the strongest tiles out there. These tiles are dense and hard while also being resistant to scratches and stains. Porcelain tiles are highly porous as well and absorb less than 0.5% of water, making them perfect for outdoor areas and areas prone to getting wet.

    The aesthetic aspects of Porcelain tiles match their functionality. These tiles are available in a wide range of colours, patterns, sizes and designs. You can even find Porcelain tiles that replicate luxurious tiles and elegant natural stones.

    At Royal Tiles, there are Porcelain tiles that resemble marble. Petra Mix Porcelain Tiles, Hudson Porcelain Tiles, Modena Porcelain Tiles, Tundra Porcelain Tiles and Kingstone Porcelain Tiles are some of those tiles.

    We also have tiles like Travertine Porcelain Tiles, Bluestone Porcelain Tiles and Sandstone Porcelain Tiles that have the visual appeal of natural stones like Travertine, Bluestone and Sandstone with the price tag of Porcelains.

    Ceramic Tiles

    Ceramic tiles are made from a mixture of clay, minerals and water that’s been shaped and fired at scorching temperatures. If properly installed and maintained, these tiles last for decades.

    These tiles are incredibly versatile and like Porcelains are available in a wide range of patterns and styles.

    Ceramic Tiles are also more affordable than most tiles including Porcelains. It is a lightweight tile that is easy to install and can even be undertaken as a DIY project.

    Natural Stone Tiles

    Some of the most luxurious, premium and sophisticated tiles fall under Natural Stone Tiles. These tiles invite charisma, charm and elegance to any space.

    The visual appeal and aesthetic offered by natural stone tiles with their strength and durability can even increase the value of your home. Though these tiles are more expensive than most tiles, they prove to be worth their value and are a great investment.

    One additional benefit of natural stone tiles is that they can handle harsh weather elements like the scorching sun or heavy rain with ease. These tiles don’t damage that easily due to such factors.

    Key Factors to Consider When Shopping for Durable Tiles

    Here are some of the things you need to be mindful of while browsing tiles for your home:

    Tile Thickness

    Thicker tiles are better equipped to handle heavy loads, resist impacts and maintain their structural integrity over time. Thicker tiles are ideal for high traffic areas, outdoor spaces and locations with heavy furniture or equipment because they are less likely to crack or chip under stress. They also offer better resistance to substrate irregularities, reducing the risk of damage after installation.

    Moisture and Stain Resistance

    Choosing tiles that can handle moisture and stains will help you a lot in the long run. When tiles themselves can resist water and dirt to a certain extent, your tiles will look like new for longer without much effort.

    Slip Resistance

    This quality is one of the most important for high traffic areas and for homes that have kids or elderly people.

    Floor tiles need to be as slip resistant as possible so that you can avoid chances of any accidents or injuries inside the house. This quality can be even more beneficial during the holiday season.

    Aesthetic Versatility

    While the durability and strength of tiles are of the utmost importance, the visual appeal that tiles hold is just as essential.

    You want tiles that can elevate and enhance your space while meeting your aesthetic preferences. Whether you want a contemporary look or a cozy ambience, the right tiles can make all the difference.

    Maintenance Requirements

    Choosing tiles that are easy to clean and maintain is one of the wisest decisions you can make.

    Once you lay any type of tile, you will be using those for at least 5-10 years. Tiles are after all a one time investment for most of us. Imagine how convenient your life would be if you didn’t have to put a lot of effort into daily or weekly cleaning of your tiles for at least a decade.

    Consult with your tile supplier or your interior designer to pick the kind of tiles that would be a breeze to maintain.

    Intended Use and Location

    The area where you want to lay your tiles can often make all the difference.

    Outdoor tiles need to be UV resistant and stronger. Kitchen splashback tiles have to be heat and stain resistant. Any floor tile can not be slippery.
