The tight economy and the declining trend in the real estate industry couple with the rash of foreclosures that swept across the nation have caused a dramatic decrease in home prices affecting several states and cities. Homeowners from Massachusetts to Alaska basically just want to maintain a high and profitable resale value for their homes, even if they do not have an immediate plan of flipping houses.
One of the best and most effective ways of achieving an increase in the home resale value is through improving the aesthetic properties of the home through a remodeling project. An intrinsic element in this process is through the use of wall tiles, either made of marble or ceramic, that will definitely improve how your walls would look. According to customization experts from Divisions Unlimited Incorporated, the use of wall tiles instead of ordinary paint can not only add beauty and elegance to any section of the house, but it can also be more enduring and resistant to the ravages of time and the elements.
The following is a short discussion on the various wall tiles that can be used to achieve the look and beauty that you want in your home remodeling project.
* The Beauty and Elegance of Marble
If a homeowner really wants to have a very beautiful and very elegant result with his remodeling project, then he should go for marble wall tiles and floorings. It is more expensive than other wall tile varieties like ceramic and porcelain, but people with an adequate budget for their home renovation project would be better off in choosing marble tiles.
Marble has been used since the olden days and has been the material of choice for ancient Roman and Greek builders as well as artists and craftsmen. In modern times, individuals and families with a higher income range prefer marble in their remodeling projects to achieve the look of beauty and elegance that no other stone or building material can achieve.
Marble comes in a variety of strains with different patterns, designs and colors that make it a perfect material of choice for customizing elegant homes and properties. A home becomes more alive and highly sophisticated-looking when walls and floors are lined in highly appealing marble tiles.
* An Enduring Classy Look with Ceramic Tiles
The use of ceramic tiles has been recorded throughout ancient history, from the pyramids to Babylon and was widely used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Created by firing a mixture of clays at very high temperature, ceramic tiles can bring about a beautiful accent to any home surface that ordinary paint could never achieve. Ceramic tiles are more durable and enduring than wall paper or paints and are more resistant to stains, spills, acids, and they do not oxidize. These make ceramic tiles a building material of choice for most home renovation and remodeling work.
* Innovative Elegance with Porcelain Tiles
Improved version of ceramics, porcelain tiles use finer clay materials and are fired at even higher temperatures used in ceramic tiles. Due to the its very fine topography, porcelain tiles are less moisture absorbent making it more durable to stains and water damage.
Porcelain tiles can be processed in glazed or unglazed form and would suit every preference of users. Modern and innovative usages of porcelain tiles involve a coating of highly-durable urethane that will not only enhance the outward beauty of the tiles but can also make it more durable even to bacteria.
* Strength and Durability with Granite Tiles
If you want to have a stunning effect with your kitchen and bathroom countertops as well as wash basins and sinks, then the use of a solid granite slab customized to perfection would be the very thing that would suit your taste.
Granite is probably the oldest building material as it was formed millions of years ago inside the earth. Its inherent hardness make is a very durable building material that is resistant to heat, fire and even scratches.
* Be One with the Earth with Natural Stone
Some surfaces in the home can be customized to make use of natural stone materials that will definitely add character to any section in the home. These can be used as tiles, slabs and countertops and can be used alone or in combination with other natural stones. Some of these stones are soft in consistency making it easier to use on customized building, while others are hard and durable. Some of these stones include: soap stone, sand stone, line stone, hewn stone, quarts and coral.
There are several other types of wall materials available for use in a home remodeling project. The key thing here is to choose based on the application that you intend for the material to use and the tastes and preference of those living in the home. Whatever choice you make, choosing these materials can lead you towards your goal of beautifying how your home would look.
