Granite Flooring

Bathroom floors - Granite Vs. Slate
Granite and slate are both igneous rocks. Both have some common characteristics that make these appropriate as material from the bathroom floor. These include the waterproof nature and good corrosion resistance, which are very important to the bathroom floor. In addition, these materials do not become slippery too easily, even when wet. However, there are some differences between the two types, which can cause some customers to prefer one over the other. Here are the main differences:
Granite
Being an igneous rock, granite provides almost 100% resistance against mold and mildew buildup. Therefore, this is probably a good option if you have children at home. granite floors are also resistant to most chemicals used as cleaning agents, making it a very viable option as a flooring material. In addition, the milky white color goes well with most types of bathroom decor.
The stone is not without its own share of drawbacks, however. First Instead, the white color makes it likely to tainted by chemicals, but is not likely to corrode easily. This makes it necessary to clean the floor frequently, which can be quite complicated.
Other than that, granite tiles are very difficult and require special care when cutting to ensure that pictures are not chipped at the edges. The complicated process of preparation of the tables also makes the resulting products cost more than other varieties. Therefore, the price of granite tiles is therefore very strong, so it's a fairly expensive option as a flooring material. In addition, pictures can be quite large in size for be used in small bathrooms with comfort. These drawbacks because some customers prefer other types of material in granite soil, despite the obvious benefits the latter offers.
Slate
Slate is an igneous rock like granite, and also has Zero tolerance for mold and mildew. A bathroom with slate tiling will certainly free of pathogenic fungi. In addition, the board does not easily become slippery even when wet, so it is quite a safe choice for homes with small children or elderly people live. The matte black or beige color slate also makes a good starting point that goes well with the varieties of bathroom furniture.
The slate floor, however, is not free of its own set of drawbacks. First, you must be careful not to spill oil or oily substances in the soil. Oil adheres to the surface of the stone, and makes it very slippery, which was further increased when the stone gets wet later. This makes it a dangerous situation, especially for innocent people may not have noticed the oil spill. Apart from these, slate tiles are quite large in size compared with those of wood mosaic, and the like. The large tiles are difficult to use slate bathrooms ions smaller sizes, and tiles with the correct size can be almost impossible to find in some cases.
Therefore, it is clear that both the granite and slate have their own set of problems that can become crucial to take a decision between the two. However, the susceptibility of the board against oil spills certainly makes losing some ground to the granite. If the price is the deciding factor however, no doubt emerge victorious slate like granite can cost up to twice that board, for each square centimeter of soil. Therefore, by taking a decision, it is up to the buyer to decide what more is required, maximum durability, or a balance between durability and price.
