You might be surprised to learn that tile is not only cost-effective but is a great option for reducing negative environmental impacts, resource use, and demolition waste, when compared to most flooring products. Because tiles are incredibly hard and inert, as well as dent and spill-proof-, properly installed tile floor should be durable enough to last a lifetime, unlike other flooring which may need to be replaced. Thanks to this lifespan this means less money and resources go into extracting raw materials, transportation, installation, etc.
