6 Unbreakable Floor Coverings That Look Expensive

A long service life is crucial for any floor covering. But you should also remember that the floor is part of the interior, so the covering must not only be reliable but also beautiful. Is it possible to combine durability and aesthetics? Yes! We tell about the most durable floor coverings that look expensive in interior design.

Ceramogranite

This material is a leader in strength. Due to granite in its composition, it is almost unbreakable. When properly installed, ceramogranite is not afraid of water and temperature fluctuations, does not crack, and can last for decades. The material can be used in any part of an apartment. However, the surface of ceramogranite is cold, so it's better to install a warm floor.

Nail Floors

In terms of strength and ease of maintenance, this material is similar to ceramogranite, and its service life is practically unlimited. The polymer coating makes the floor perfectly smooth, and no further treatment after pouring is required.

When choosing a nail floor, pay attention to the type of polymer in its composition. Epoxy mixes wear out more slowly and offer great design flexibility. Polyurethane compositions are usually monochromatic but are more impact-resistant, harden quickly, and can level height differences up to 10 cm.

Ceramic Tile

This material is made from red clay and glazed. It creates a versatile covering that can be used in rooms and on cold balconies. The surface is pleasant to walk on barefoot. Tiles can mimic parquet, stone, and laminate, making them suitable for any room and interior style.

Quartz Vinyl

Looks like laminate with the same texture mimicking wood. But in terms of wear resistance, quartz vinyl does not yield to tiles. The material can withstand everything: cat claws, broken dishes, and impacts from heavy objects — no scratches will remain on its surface. The covering is indifferent to moisture, so it can even be used in the bathroom.

Stone Tile

Natural stone is one of the oldest and most reliable floor coverings. For easier installation, it is produced in tile form, similar to ceramic ones. It is laid the same way as tiles, but cement-based mortar is usually used instead of adhesive. The material withstands any temperature fluctuations and can be installed with a warm floor system.

Terrazzo

A strong material originally created in Italy as a low-cost covering. Terrazzo is made from marble and granite chips, glass, and other natural materials bound with clinker cement. The covering perfectly hides all floor imperfections. The surface is wear-resistant, easy to clean, and has no expiration date.
