"The ceramic tiles used in our backsplash coordinate well with the new counter top and the old floor. The tiles add to the Victorian era design of the new kitchen in our antique home from 1888."

Like hardwood flooring, ceramic tile enhances the value of your home.
Grout is not stain proof. If you can, stay away from light color grouts. After installation use a sealer to ease maintenance.
Allergies - does not retain dust, odors or smoke.
Feels hard under foot relative to carpet or area rugs.
Doesn't fade.
Should be installed by a professional.
Snob appeal!
Like most flooring, damage can occur when heavy objects are dropped. Could chip if heavy object are dropped on it.
Repairs - replace individual tiles, not whole floor sections.
Unglazed Porcelain tile is so water resistant in can be used outside.
Rolling chairs hook up on grout lines.
Easy to clean and maintain. Glazed tile never needs waxing or sealing.
Cold hard surface is not everyone's preference. (But tile also absorbs heat so depends on the room and sunlight).
Environmentally friendly Durable and permanent.
Depending on your point of view, having a floor that is permanent can be a plus or a minus. Ceramic flooring is enduring; it is a permanent flooring choice which is why it is so popular. If you enjoy changing the look of your home every decade or so, you might consider a ceramic looking laminate or vinyl because ceramic tile is very difficult to remove
Any excessive movement in the subflooring will loosen tiles and/or pop out grout. Some subfloors are not suitable for ceramic tile installation because they tend to flex, expand/contract, or warp. All floor and wall substrates must be structurally sound, rigid, flat, oil- and wax-free for success and longevity of ceramic flooring
