Granite wall tiles and floor tiles including cleaning advice.

Nov. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- There really are no wall tiles and floor tile choices that are out of reach of home owners, whilst many home owners may be working towards a budget, many tile materials are obtainable for very good prices and many natural stone wall tiles and floor tiles have come down in price and are more attractive to home owners.

Granite tiles have been used as a building material for years and they were not always common and popular within homes but this has changed over the last decade and granite wall tiles and granite floor tiles are now very popular within homes because of their functionality and durability.

Granite tiles are very hard and tough and are popular in commercial settings, for this reason they are used as floor tiles in many homes, they are also used as wall tiles, countertop tiles in kitchens and backsplash areas. The warm soft tones of granite make it a great ideal for complimenting other tile choices within the room and they add glamour and unique style to the home.

Granite is very common and popular for kitchen countertops, this one particular area sees a lot of abuse in the form of scratches, heat and spillages and any tiles you choose need to be able to stand up to this. Granite is an absolute great solution withstanding many knocks without the granite actually changing appearance or degenerating.  Installing granite countertops will also add value to the home because they are an attractive aspect of the kitchen design and they offer fantastic functionality which will last the test of time.

Granite tiles come in many colour variations and the choice will be down to personal preferences and the existing decor you are working with. Granite tiles are available in many warm tones which are very popular, the colours range from warm browns, pearls and neutral whites.  These are the lighter colours of granite that add warmth to the home but more importantly they work well with other wall tile designs and materials. Other tiles that work well with these warm toned granite tiles are glass wall tiles, ceramic wall tiles and many other natural stone tile varieties.

There are also the darker coloured granite tile options and granite tiles are also available in darker blacks and green colours which are also really popular especially for floor tile solutions where the darker coloured floor tiles make great additions for busy homes where there is a lot of traffic.

Granite tiles are a great solution for many places in the home and they are not just great floor tile options, they work well as wall tiles, countertops tiles and in many places in the bathroom areas.

Cleaning and maintaining granite tiles is very important to keep them looking good and maintain their appearance and condition. Cleaning granite tiles is easy and simple enough and as long as they are maintained regularly, the cleaning routine is not long and arduous. The granite tiles will almost certainly need to be sealed and the tile manufacturer or the installer will be able to advise on this. There are many granite tile cleaners on the market that are developed especially for the stone material and it is important to select the correct one. Cleaners that are neutral must be used on granite tiles in order to protect them from damage.
