When it comes to flooring, many online stores offer different alternatives to marble tiles, travertine tiles and French pattern tiles. These alternatives include granite, porcelain and ceramic. However, these are not the most ideal floor tiles for your kitchen or bathroom. Here's why:

Travertine versus Ceramic and Porcelain

• These three are the most popular top choices for interior home décor. However, without a doubt, travertine floor tiles are by far the superior of the three. Unlike porcelain or ceramic tiles, travertine tiles usually have a more uniform "natural stone " color tone and structure which makes it an easier task to repair or even hide damage such as scratches and will not fade or lose color.
• Non- Allergenic - If you are thinking of purchasing floor tiles that are not going to exacerbate the home's occupant's allergies, ceramic floor tiles or even porcelain floor tiles, should not be an option. The reason is that non-vitreous or semi-vitreous ceramic tile holds moisture which creates a conducive environment for the growth of mold and mildew in your flooring.
• Longer life cycle - Just in case you are not sure which to choose between the three types of floor tiles for areas that experience high levels of human traffic, then you need to go for travertine floor tiles as they can be re-used time and time again They have an indefinite life cycle, need minimal flooring maintenance and will retain their original elegant appearance long after ceramic or porcelain tile lost its luster, worn away, or become obsolete.

Marble versus Granite floor tile

Here at Stone-mart.com, it's not uncommon to have queries asked on which of these two is the better option. If you are looking for floor tiles that will achieve an elegant look on your bathroom floor, entry floor or as living room tile flooring, then marble is definitely the way to go. Marble has the unique ability to turn an otherwise bland bathroom or other floor areas into an elegantly styled space. Something that granite tile cannot match.

French Pattern Tiles

Our French Pattern Tiles will blend in well with both your kitchen and bathroom indoor décor. This is because our French pattern tiles come in a variety of finishes. Depending on what you would like you could choose between a sheen or matte effect.
