2. Take in to consideration Wear and Tear and Traffic

A common mistake often made by many when choosing a tile or stone is to ignore or not take in to consideration the traffic or the amount of usage the tile will put to. Certain marbles being soft in nature would not be suited for areas having high traffic. Say for instance a soft marble tile would be inappropriate for a hotel lobby but perfect for home use. Whether the tile or stone can withstand scratch is what needs to taken into consideration? An effective way to perform the test is by scratching the tile using a pocket knife. In case you find a scratch on the tile, it is a clear indication that the tile is not suited for areas having high traffic.

In the same way, the other points that need to be considered include whether the tile or stone is resistant to stain and acid, whether the tile or stone fits your budget including safety factors, installation expenses, process and who will do the installation, details pertaining to sub-flooring and lastly maintenance.
