Matte Tiles and Its Function in Interior Design

Matte tiles have a finish that is not reflective or shiny, unlike glossy tiles. But do not be mistaken, some things that do not glitter are gold. Matte tiles offer high durability, and due to their slip resistance, they are ideal for high-traction and wet-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies.

In addition to their durability, matte tiles offer a grounded, neutral look that embodies nature and exudes class. Due to their firm grip, they are the best option for outdoor tiling, as they can withstand rain and endless steps without losing their initial quality. You can also achieve a rustic, thematic look with matte tiles in other areas of your interiors to elevate style and design.

A number of other factors are important to consider when choosing tiles with a matte finish, like space and tile size, personal style, and texture.

EASY MAINTENANCE

Often times, quick cleaning is all matte tiles require to maintain their beauty and quality. You do not have to do too much to make matte tiles last long. Their high durability and textured finish do almost all the work for you.

CONCEAL SCRATCHES

Tiles wear out with time and use. But Matte tiles retain their initial look. The textured finish conceals scratches so that wear and tear is not easily visible.

USE IN HIGH-FRICTION AREAS

Owing to its durability, scratch-concealing quality, and firm grip, matte tiles are the most functional bet to use in high friction areas where many people pass through or where the tiles will be exposed to extreme conditions.

However, there are some drawbacks to matte finish tiles

CONS:

TOUGH STAINS

As a result of the textured finish of matte tiles, stains may be harder to remove. But hard stains on matte tiles are easily remedied by leaving warm soapy water on the stain for about 5 minutes.

HARDER TO STYLE

Matte tiles are non-reflective and make bold statement on their own but can look out of place when it is not part of a theme, which means that, even though matte tiles are versatile, they require more attention to design and pairing.
