At Specialty Tile Products, we are dedicated to ensuring that products with purpose make it into every project. While the manufacturing process of tile does require a large amount of natural gas to produce, this firing process makes tile longevity the best option of any construction finish available. Tile can and will outlive all of us. If the initial life expectancy of a building is 60 years, a design that includes a classic tile look as the background canvas for trends that come & go, as decades move forward, the tile will still be there, looking as new as the day it was installed. By comparison, LVT would need to be switched out every 15 years (assuming it’s not heavy traffic and under optimal circumstances).
