Cleaning Ceramic Floors

With its durability and visual appeal, it’s no wonder ceramic tile is the material of choice. There are ways to maintain it, and keep it looking its best.

Like everything, consistency is key. Taking a broom or vacuum to the ceramic tile weekly is important simply because any sand or dirt particles can take away the amazing shine that was attractive to begin with. Follow this routine by passing a mop using a solution created from detergent and hot water. Sponge mops are not ideal when cleaning a ceramic tile floor. This type of mop shoves the dirt left behind into the grout and darkens its color. Be sure to constantly change out the water being used to mop so as not to leave a dirty film over the tile. Should film end up on the floor, it can be removed by a soft all-purpose cleaner. Avoid extremely harsh chemical based products. Wherever possible, use homemade products to clean the surface.

Bio-Recovered Tile

Capture

 

Recycled wood is becoming an increasingly popular purchase when designing a home. The flexibility in using recycled wood can give you endless design possibilities. It can be considered elegant or rustic with character and charm. Although the Bio-Recover collection made by Eleganza Tile is not recycled wood, it is a brilliant interpretation of it. It is a porcelain tile that has an antique feel.  It can be used in Tradition, contemporary or even modern design elements.  You can use the beautiful Bio-Recover collection for accent walls in your living room or even the bedroom eliminating the need for a head. The tiles are truly beautiful!

The Bio-Recover collection was created by carefully studying recycled wooden floors and walls. When you walk into a home you see the wear caused by time and the traces left by those that have walked on the floors creating beautiful variations in the wood. That is what is used to recreate the structure of the tile, the grain and color variations of the surfaces. Bio-Recover is developed using the latest HD Inkjet technology in order to accurately capture the natural wear and tear as well as color variation. Bio-Recover is available in 8″x48″ for residential and commercial applications. It is available in Old Walnut, Golden Flame, and Warm Cream. It is chemical stain resistant and very durable.

Busby Gilbert Tile Review

eleganza1Busby Gilbert Tile is a handcrafted tile company that prides itself on making each individual piece by hand. This creates variation in color and tone for each tile, which has a wave effect for the finished product. They are stone fired and very durable, lasting generations if cared for correctly. It’s a preferred tile company for professional designers and architects because of their high quality product.

They have glossy and matte in all the colors of the rainbow, plus the option of making them any shape you could desire. They also have relief decos with many designs and pictures to choose from. Would Busby Gilbert be a good company to research and look into?

The Product and Their Reputation

Busby Gilbert has been manufacturing home and kitchen tiles in Van Nuys, California for over 30 years. Their product has been used in many commercial spaces and even movie sets since their inception. Their history involves finding tiles for a rock star’s home and starting a company from that humble beginning.

It seems that they have quite a good reputation in California and have many high profile clients. This is always a good sign for a company. They are also small, which means that they will treat you as more than just another number. You would more than likely have a positive experience with this company, should you choose them for your home project.

Should you go with Busby Gilbert?

They are more expensive than the big box retail option, but are worth the price if you can afford it. It is always a better option to go for the smaller companies, because the product is higher quality and you will have a better experience overall. We say, look into Busy Gilbert and see if they could help you make your dreams come true with their designer flooring tiles.
