A perfect flooring of the house would be the one which is cold to stand on, water resistant and resistant to stains and spillages. Ceramic floor tiles exactly match the above criterion. Available in almost all colors, patterns and shapes these tiles are made up of natural clay, decorated on one side with colored glaze. The surfaces of these tiles are normally glazed in comparison to others which are matt or have an unglazed finish. Laying ceramic floor tiles is similar to the method of laying tiles on a wall. But due to their thickness a floor tile cutter with angled jaws is required to cut the tile.

Planning

The layout of the ceramic floor tiles must be planned on a paper first, especially when the plan needs a mixture of different shapes and designs. While planning, one must take into account the fixtures and fittings of the room as the design of the layout of the ceramic floor tiles need to work alongside these features. Patterned tiles which are to be placed at the internal corner where there is a need to cut it thereby increasing the risk of loosing the beauty of the design must be avoided. Also one must try to avoid the use of a quarter or less of a tile on an end wall as the small parts becomes very difficult to cut without breaking the small end section. An inward opening door or any cupboard doors at floor level should necessarily be removed before starting to tile the room as the tiling raises the level of the floor to a considerable amount.

Cleaning and caring your ceramic floor tiles

The specialty of this particular type of flooring is that it doesn't require any type of polish as it comes with a natural glaze or a matt finish. Polishing in turn will make them more slippery and dangerous to walk on. Sweeping would be more preferable then vacuuming as the end of some vacuums can scratch the surface of the tile. One must do a hand wash or by using a squeezy mop. In short it can be concluded that with a little conscious effort you can let your ceramic floor tile's super glaze last forever.
