I‘m thinking about putting ceramic tile in my living room. I just want to know if anybody has strong opinions, one way or the other, as to whether or not ceramic tile is really the right flooring for a living room. Basically, I want to know if it will be good for resale. Links to home design survey results, with related questions, would be helpful.
ceramic handles high heat better than most applications. and the cost of making a straightener using ceramic on a high volume production, gets very costly. ceramic is a better product, made to last.
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avu8i ceramic plates are most likely what your going to get now adays, there aren't very many straighteners without ceramic, and ceramic is better because it can get hotter than most materials. if you want a good straightener for cheap, try eBay, i got a CHI for $60, which would be about $130 in stores.
I have some input on this one. I tiled my entire house with the exception being 4 of the 5 bedrooms that I carpeted. I layed my living room tile on a 45 45 Degree angle to the walls. ( Looks like diamonds even though the tiles are still square). I did this because I didn't want a big square grid in the largest room of my home. I would suggest a 45 or a brick pattern or even a pattern in a pattern for a large area. The only draw back that I found was the difference in noise in other parts of the house. I never would have guessed that carpet absorbed so much sound. I wound up buying a 12x20 foot piece of carpet that was the same as the bedrooms and had it backed and hemmed ( thus making a area rug out of it) It helped out with the noise problem. I can no longer hear water from the kitchen while I'm in the back office. Tile is great and you can be as creative as you want with it. It is very easy to care for and keep clean, doesn't hold allergens, and is nice and cool in the summer. ( It's a bit cool in the winter too.) I'd do it the same way again if had too.Good luck !! Hope this helps!!
Absolutely not. You want a living room to be soft, comfortable, floors that are warm and inviting, and ceramic tile is the exact OPPOSITE. Good carpet or hard wood are good choices for living rooms. Ceramic tile can be way too cold in the winter time and it just really doesn't look right. Let me put it to you this way. I would never buy a home with ceramic tile in the living room, and I would really wonder about the sanity of whoever decided to put it in.
I have a ceramic straightner and it works SOOO good. it gets way hotter. the ceramic holds the heat in so it doesnt damage your hair as much . My hairstylist says its better than a straightner without ceramic plates
