Ceramic flooring has become increasingly popular throughout the US, particularly here in Southern California. Sure, it’s more expensive to purchase and get installed than many other types of flooring like vinyl, laminate, and carpet, but it has a tremendously long service life, and it simply looks amazing. Boost the aesthetic of your home with new ceramic flooring from Monarch Carpet, Drapery & Upholstery. You won’t regret it!

As you consider ceramic flooring, there are many variables to weigh. Here are some pros and cons of ceramic flooring to help you decide whether to invest in it for your home.

First, let’s start with the definition of ceramic flooring. It consists of ceramic tiles, which are thin slabs of clay or other inorganic materials that have been hardened by oven firing and usually coated with some kind of glaze.

Durability of ceramic flooring

One of the main benefits of ceramic flooring is its durability. There are ruins of ancient Rome and Egypt that feature ceramic tiles which are still intact after over 2,000 years. If you’re interested in purchasing flooring and then never having to replace it again, ceramic is an ideal choice.

Germ-free flooring

What’s also great about ceramic flooring is that it’s pretty easy to clean and it doesn’t harbor germs. Simply wipe and go – it doesn’t get any easier than that. Ceramic tiles that are used for flooring are also super hard, so they won’t chip or break easily. If you’re looking for a flooring material that requires very little maintenance, go with ceramic tiles from Monarch Carpet, Drapery & Upholstery.

Colors and sizing vary

Ceramic flooring comes in many different colors and sizes to suit your exact tastes and preferences. Ceramic tiles are rated from 0-5 based on hardness. Ceramic tiles rated 0 are suitable for walls, 3 are ideal for most residential uses including flooring, and 4 and 5 are hard enough for commercial applications.
