Whether it be a new bathroom splashback, or a tiled feature wall in your kitchen space, there are so many ways you can spruce up your space for summer.
Carry on reading this article to learn about the benefits tiles can have during summer.
Benefits of Tiles in Summer
Maximise Brightness in your Space
With the longest day having just passed, we can still expect bright days and nights over the coming months. Implementing tiles within your home can make a huge difference on the overall look and feel of your interior.
Due to their natural ability to reflect light, tiles can make your home feel brighter, bigger and generally more uplifting. This is why tiles are a particularly great choice for smaller spaces, like en-suites for example, as they give the illusion of a larger space. Thanks to the glossy finish on many tile styles too, you’ll be making optimal use of the summer sun as it lights up your interior!
Cooling Effect
As we know, carpets are great for retaining heat. But, when it comes to the warmer months, tiles can feel like a real source of cooling solace in comparison. Plus, they can even be energy efficient as you require fewer cooling devices like fans to keep your home cool. We think it’s beneficial to have a good mixture of both carpeting and tiling in your home to have the option of both.
Especially for higher traffic areas and shared spaces such as kitchens, hallways and bathrooms, tiles are ideal due to their durable and hard-wearing properties. What’s more, is that you always have the option of laying your tiles with the addition of underfloor heating to take the chill off during the winter months.
Easy to Clean
One of the major advantages of tiles is their ease of maintenance. With minimal time required to keep your tiles looking good as new, you’ll have more time to spend doing all your favourite summer activities without worrying about the effect it will have on your home.
It is for this reason (and many others) that tiles are so commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms, which deal with regular spills and are generally more messy than other rooms. All you tend to need is some water and a bit of soap and your tiles are back to looking sparkling!
Ideal for Entertaining
We know that the summer is the perfect time to host gatherings, whether it be a friends and family barbecue, or a garden party and so on. Having tiles laid in your home is a great solution for those spaces where people will be busying themselves.
Unlike carpets which can be easily stained and flattened, tiles can maintain that stunning, new look without a hitch. Not only are tiles great for summer get-togethers, they are long-lasting, meaning you can enjoy a fuss-free gathering all year round. Don’t forget about our beautiful range of external paving, so your space will look fantastic both indoors and out.
