Mosaic Tile Floor Designs That Will Elevate Your Interiors…And Raise Your Home Value
We’ve covered mosaic tile floors through several articles and from various standpoints in our blog. That is only natural if you keep in mind that interior design trends are constantly changing and evolving. As much as a particular design feature or item is timeless and classy, there is always a new way to look at it and make it work with fresh and innovative styles.
One thing we haven’t extensively covered in terms of mosaic tile floors is the instant and permanent growth in home value you’ll get once you install them. There are several reasons for that and we will chat about all of them.
DESIGN
Mosaic tile floors have been around for thousands of years and mosaicists have been honing their skill for exactly that long. From craftsmanship to a variety of patterns and topics, there is not a single type of flooring out there that can come close to a mosaic tile floor. From ancient temples to modern eco-homes of celebrities, mosaic floors grace pretty much any type of space that comes to mind.
There are tens of thousands of already existing designs to choose from or be inspired by. If you want something discreet you can choose a single arabesque mosaic medallion and make it a focal point of your floor. If you want something that will make a statement you can draw your own design and we can make it into a wall-to-wall mosaic tile floor. If you want something memorable and awe-worthy any glass mosaic design will do the trick.
PRACTICALITY
Now that we’ve determined that mosaic designs are simply timeless, it’s time to clarify why it’s EVERYWHERE. The answer to that is pretty simple — no maintenance is needed. With every other type of flooring, you can be sure you’ll have to go through the weekly and sometimes even daily process of something-something to make it look presentable.
Parquet looks rich, but it requires cleaning and polishing with special hardwood chemicals; anything stronger can permanently damage it. You will have to sand and lacquer it every few years because the coating wears over time. A laminate floor is very popular because it is affordable, but once damaged it can’t be finished, and any extra moisture can make it “bubble up”, so you have to clean it carefully. With mosaic tile floor all you have to do is wipe it occasionally and that is all. No detergents are needed, and no sanding, polishing, lacquering, or oiling. Just wipe the dust off from time to time and voila! As good as new.
DURABILITY AND RESILIENCE
The durability point is pretty clear considering the fact that the oldest existing mosaic is over 3,500 years old. Mosaic tile floors are extremely durable and they can withstand damage from virtually any heavy or sharp objects. Unlike any other type of flooring, including concrete and regular tile floors, mosaic tile floors will remain free from dents because their size and density make them super durable and difficult to break.
Furthermore, glass mosaic tiles are waterproof, which is exactly why they can often be seen in both bathrooms and kitchens, not to mention in swimming pools and fountains. If you don’t want to worry about moisture and water damage on your floors ever again, choose mosaic tile floors and chill. Even if chipping or damage does occur, mosaic tiles are tiny and easy to replace. That is why all of our mosaic designs have a lifetime guarantee.
And these are the main reasons why mosaic floors will instantly raise the value of your home. There is nothing that will pay off just as well as stunning mosaic floors will. If you don’t believe us, just consult the history books. *wink wink
