MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE
The current pandemic situation reminds us how important it is to keep our living spaces clean. If it is important to live in hygienic spaces, it is even more essential to make daily life easier by choosing quality materials that are sustainable and easy to maintain.
The antibacterial properties of porcelain
Porcelain tile is composed of natural minerals; a mixture that is fired at very high temperatures to obtain one of the strongest and most compact materials available.
The porosity of porcelain is less than or equal to 0.5. When in contact with porcelain, liquids remain on the surface, making it easier to clean. Thus, it prevents bacteria from penetrating and settling in the tile.
Easy to use, the tiles require no special maintenance. Tile is simply washed with soap and water, dislodging bacteria in the process.
Planning your project for an optimal result
Flat surfaces will be easier to clean than some textured surfaces (in 3D). Also, before you start your project and choose your tiles, think about the activities you will do in each room of the house.
Pay particular attention to the choice of grout. There are many options on the market with increasingly high-performance, easy-to-maintain ranges that virtually do not change color and prevent water infiltration. Selecting the right grout will greatly determine the longevity of your installation. Make sure to clean your surfaces frequently. We recommend MAPEI installation and maintenance products.
