Flooring - Commercial & Residential

When it comes to the types of flooring options for homes available in India, most owners generally think of marble or tiles. However, there are a large number of flooring types and materials for homes available in the market. Each of these options has its own set of pros and cons. The most common types of flooring are mentioned below.

 

Best flooring options for a home in India

 

Marble

This flooring material is often associated with wealth and extravagance, hence acts as a “status symbol” for many homes. Moreover, marble flooring is long-lasting and expensive. However, some low-quality stones tend to turn yellowish over the years.

 

Vitrified tiles

Vitrified flooring tiles are one of the most popular types of flooring. These tiles have a low water absorption rate and are long-lasting. Moreover, it is one of the most economical types available and may be used both inside and outside.

 

Vinyl

Vinyl flooring is yet another versatile option for consumers looking for attractive alternatives at a reasonable price. Although it is water-resistant, it requires careful maintenance to avoid scratches. One disadvantage is that it is susceptible to discolouration overtime.

 

Hardwood

Hardwood flooring is a high-maintenance yet popular choice among homeowners. This flooring may be fairly durable if properly maintained. Noises, creaks, and squeaks might occur as a result of wear and tear in this type of flooring solution.

 

Granite

When it comes to flooring materials, granite is a classy choice for homes. It is relatively easy to maintain because of its high stain resistance and longevity.

 

Bamboo

Bamboo flooring is relatively easy to maintain because of its water-stain resistance property. Scratches are the only thing that can detract from the ultra-chic appearance of a bamboo floor. However, bamboo planks can swell in humid temperatures. Therefore, this flooring style is best used in dry settings.

 

Concrete

Concrete flooring is sturdy and perhaps one of the most durable types of flooring. Except for minor chipping and scratching caused by wear and tear, concrete flooring is relatively damage-resistant. Moisture, on the other hand, can weaken the concrete and damage the integrity of the floor.

 

Laminate

Laminate flooring is an excellent choice for low-cost flooring that is also long-lasting and sturdy. Moreover, it is relatively resistant to stains and water damage and is simple to install. Damage, however, necessitates total replacement because it cannot be repolished or repaired. When shopping for laminate flooring, make sure you request the slip-resistant variety.

 

Linoleum

It’s a low-cost and highly versatile (in terms of design) flooring alternative that’s extremely popular. However, negligent use makes the soft surface prone to dents and scratches. For these reasons, these types of flooring should be used in low-traffic areas of the home.

 

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a form of flooring that consists of granite and marble chips embedded in the concrete. These flooring tiles, often known as mosaic flooring, are strong enough to withstand the test of time.

 

Brick

Brick flooring is popular due to its low cost. Moreover, it is exceptionally strong, fire-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. It is one of the best options if you want a floor that keeps a moderate temperature while adding a rustic touch to your home.

 

Red Oxide

This low-cost flooring option is popular due to its timeless and exquisite appearance. Red oxide flooring is particularly popular in warm and tropical areas because it is easy to maintain. However, these types of flooring are difficult to install and necessitate the use of professional masons.

Epoxy fillers, made from two types of resins, are gaining popularity over traditional cement material. Cement grout stains easily and absorbs water which makes it difficult to clean. The features which make epoxy grout better than regular grout are:

  • Durability: Suitable for high-traffic areas.
  • Waterproof and stain-resistant: Ideal for wet areas and resistant to harsh chemicals.
  • Porosity: Epoxy does not need to be sealed due to its non-porous nature.

However, only skilled professionals can do epoxy grouting which comes with a higher price tag compared to other types. Also, epoxy has a sheen that can highlight imperfections in the application.

  • Match the shade with the tile to conceal the grout lines and the shape of the tiles.
  • Contrasting colours enhance the overall look and feel of the space as the design of the tile is highlighted.
  • Lighter grouting acts as a frame and increases the aesthetic value.
  • The darker grout colour draws attention to the design of the tile.

With so many different flooring options available in the market, selecting a flooring material for your home may seem daunting. To choose a floor type from different varieties like marble vs tile, you must weigh the pros and cons of each type. Made from concrete or cement, and available in various shapes and thicknesses, floor tiles come in glazed or unglazed forms. Their colour and appearance are controlled during the production process. Marble is made naturally due to the metamorphosis of rocks. A symbol of luxury, the durable marble flooring is used in homes, restaurants, and hotels.

Most people tend to get confused about the difference between vitrified, double-charge, and digital floor tiles. The differences between these are:

Vitrified tiles are ceramic tiles made from clay and silica. A popular choice for wet areas, these tiles have a natural sheen and are also great alternatives to granite and marble.

Double-charge tiles are formed by mixing two layers of vitrified tiles. These durable tiles contain a blend of clay, quartz, feldspar, and silica. Easy to maintain, these tiles are ideal for high-traffic areas.

Digitally printed tiles come in a variety of designs and patterns. Used along with vitrified tiles to create accent walls, these are suitable for kitchens.

Choosing the right size of the tile is much more than what will fit in your space. Although there are standard tile sizes for certain areas, you can choose from a wide range of tile sizes to match the overall look of your home. When choosing the standard size of tiles, you should take into consideration the following factors:

 

Factors to consider while choosing tile size

 

right size of tiles

Choosing a tile relative to the space

The easiest way to choose the right-sized tile is to select a tile relative to the dimensions of your space. Large areas like living rooms or open-floor kitchens will be able to handle large tiles. While medium spaces like bathrooms will look nice with medium tiles. Similarly,  small mosaic tiles will work well in a small area.

 

Tile sizes for different appearances

Different tile sizes give a different look. So, using a mix of one or two varying sizes and shapes will create a streamlined and sleek look. Consider the following for example:

  1. Large square and rectangular tiles: Large tiles can make a room appear larger. These tiles are proportionate to a room and make a small space look bigger. However, you must be careful to not use extra large tiles as they may overwhelm a space.
  2. Subway tiles, plank tiles, and small mosaic tiles: Small tiles can add to the depth of the space and make it look more compact. Tiles such as linear, subway, plank, and mosaic tiles are ideal for small spaces like bathrooms, etc. You can also use small tiles to create a detailed border around larger tiles.

 

Tile size and grout lines

Larger tiles have comparatively fewer grout lines which give a cleaner look. Also, choosing a similar-looking grout colour gives a seamless appearance. Small tiles with more grout lines are a great option for showers as they add more slip resistance and traction.

While design experts use many different tricks to make a small room look bigger, one of the most popular methods is by choosing the right floor colour. Selecting light-coloured flooring that compliments your furniture can increase the perceived size of any room and give an open feel to the space.  For example, you can use neutral-coloured stone tiles or whitewashed wood flooring.

Tile grout colours are mostly available in earthy tones, with black and white being the most popular. Shades like beige, brown, light grey and green are used frequently. Some important tips to keep in mind while selecting are:

  • Size: The size of the space dictates the colour choice. For example, if you go for complementary grouting in a small space, it will make the room look bigger.
  • Pattern: If you go for a plain grid like in the case of a subway tile, you can opt for a matching grout colour. If you have mosaic tiles, go for contrasting colours as it will enhance the design of the tile.
  • Maintenance: Darker colours are easier to maintain compared to lighter colours which collect dirt in high-traffic areas.

Hardwood flooring is a high-maintenance yet popular choice among homeowners. This flooring may be fairly durable if properly maintained. Noises, creaks, and squeaks might occur as a result of wear and tear in this type of flooring solution.

 

Granite

When it comes to flooring materials, granite is a classy choice for homes. It is relatively easy to maintain because of its high stain resistance and longevity.

 

Bamboo

Bamboo flooring is relatively easy to maintain because of its water-stain resistance property. Scratches are the only thing that can detract from the ultra-chic appearance of a bamboo floor. However, bamboo planks can swell in humid temperatures. Therefore, this flooring style is best used in dry settings.

 

Concrete

Concrete flooring is sturdy and perhaps one of the most durable types of flooring. Except for minor chipping and scratching caused by wear and tear, concrete flooring is relatively damage-resistant. Moisture, on the other hand, can weaken the concrete and damage the integrity of the floor.

 

Laminate

Laminate flooring is an excellent choice for low-cost flooring that is also long-lasting and sturdy. Moreover, it is relatively resistant to stains and water damage and is simple to install. Damage, however, necessitates total replacement because it cannot be repolished or repaired. When shopping for laminate flooring, make sure you request the slip-resistant variety.

 

Linoleum

It’s a low-cost and highly versatile (in terms of design) flooring alternative that’s extremely popular. However, negligent use makes the soft surface prone to dents and scratches. For these reasons, these types of flooring should be used in low-traffic areas of the home.

 

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a form of flooring that consists of granite and marble chips embedded in the concrete. These flooring tiles, often known as mosaic flooring, are strong enough to withstand the test of time.

 

Brick

Brick flooring is popular due to its low cost. Moreover, it is exceptionally strong, fire-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. It is one of the best options if you want a floor that keeps a moderate temperature while adding a rustic touch to your home.

 

Red Oxide

This low-cost flooring option is popular due to its timeless and exquisite appearance. Red oxide flooring is particularly popular in warm and tropical areas because it is easy to maintain. However, these types of flooring are difficult to install and necessitate the use of professional masons.

Epoxy fillers, made from two types of resins, are gaining popularity over traditional cement material. Cement grout stains easily and absorbs water which makes it difficult to clean. The features which make epoxy grout better than regular grout are:

  • Durability: Suitable for high-traffic areas.
  • Waterproof and stain-resistant: Ideal for wet areas and resistant to harsh chemicals.
  • Porosity: Epoxy does not need to be sealed due to its non-porous nature.

However, only skilled professionals can do epoxy grouting which comes with a higher price tag compared to other types. Also, epoxy has a sheen that can highlight imperfections in the application.

With so many different flooring options available in the market, selecting a flooring material for your home may seem daunting. To choose a floor type from different varieties like marble vs tile, you must weigh the pros and cons of each type. Made from concrete or cement, and available in various shapes and thicknesses, floor tiles come in glazed or unglazed forms. Their colour and appearance are controlled during the production process. Marble is made naturally due to the metamorphosis of rocks. A symbol of luxury, the durable marble flooring is used in homes, restaurants, and hotels.

While doing tile laying work check the following points:

  • Hollowness: Tap the tiles with a specialised mallet to check if there is an unusual sound in the tile.
  • Warping: Use a leveller to check if the tiles are laid in a straight line.
  • Tile joints: Ensure that the spacing between the tiles is equal.
  • Grouting: Tile joints have to be filled with cement or epoxy grouts to ensure that there are no gaps.
  • Slopes: In dry areas, there is no need for a slope, whereas in wet areas the tiles should slope so that the water can drain out.
  • Damages: Always check for chip-offs and slight shade variations in tiles.

Most people tend to get confused about the difference between vitrified, double-charge, and digital floor tiles. The differences between these are:

Vitrified tiles are ceramic tiles made from clay and silica. A popular choice for wet areas, these tiles have a natural sheen and are also great alternatives to granite and marble.

Double-charge tiles are formed by mixing two layers of vitrified tiles. These durable tiles contain a blend of clay, quartz, feldspar, and silica. Easy to maintain, these tiles are ideal for high-traffic areas.

Digitally printed tiles come in a variety of designs and patterns. Used along with vitrified tiles to create accent walls, these are suitable for kitchens.

Choosing the right size of the tile is much more than what will fit in your space. Although there are standard tile sizes for certain areas, you can choose from a wide range of tile sizes to match the overall look of your home. When choosing the standard size of tiles, you should take into consideration the following factors:

 

Factors to consider while choosing tile size

Choosing a tile relative to the space

The easiest way to choose the right-sized tile is to select a tile relative to the dimensions of your space. Large areas like living rooms or open-floor kitchens will be able to handle large tiles. While medium spaces like bathrooms will look nice with medium tiles. Similarly,  small mosaic tiles will work well in a small area.

 

Tile sizes for different appearances

Different tile sizes give a different look. So, using a mix of one or two varying sizes and shapes will create a streamlined and sleek look. Consider the following for example:

  1. Large square and rectangular tiles: Large tiles can make a room appear larger. These tiles are proportionate to a room and make a small space look bigger. However, you must be careful to not use extra large tiles as they may overwhelm a space.
  2. Subway tiles, plank tiles, and small mosaic tiles: Small tiles can add to the depth of the space and make it look more compact. Tiles such as linear, subway, plank, and mosaic tiles are ideal for small spaces like bathrooms, etc. You can also use small tiles to create a detailed border around larger tiles.

 

Tile size and grout lines

Larger tiles have comparatively fewer grout lines which give a cleaner look. Also, choosing a similar-looking grout colour gives a seamless appearance. Small tiles with more grout lines are a great option for showers as they add more slip resistance and traction.

Tile grout colours are mostly available in earthy tones, with black and white being the most popular. Shades like beige, brown, light grey and green are used frequently. Some important tips to keep in mind while selecting are:

  • Size: The size of the space dictates the colour choice. For example, if you go for complementary grouting in a small space, it will make the room look bigger.
  • Pattern: If you go for a plain grid like in the case of a subway tile, you can opt for a matching grout colour. If you have mosaic tiles, go for contrasting colours as it will enhance the design of the tile.
  • Maintenance: Darker colours are easier to maintain compared to lighter colours which collect dirt in high-traffic areas.
