Tile flooring is extremely durable. Most tile will last longer than the house. Tile is very versatile and comes in many colors, sizes, and styles. Because it is so durable, it does not require much in the way of upkeep. Tile itself is easy to clean. Tile (especially porcelain and ceramic) is one of the cheapest flooring surfaces around. When factoring in the longevity and durability, tile is one of the most cost-effective floors to install. Other types of tile (stone, granite, marble, glass, limestone) can become quite costly. Recommend a professional flooring contractor for installation.
