It is hard to crack, water-resistant, and resistant to high humidity. You can also DIY tile flooring, but as with most DIY flooring projects, if you make a mistake it can cause costly problems down the road.
Cons
There are a few cons involved with ceramic tile. The tile can vary in size and color from lot to lot making it harder to match a piece if you need to replace one. Ceramic tile is hard and cold to step on, and it is heavy, making it less than ideal for flooring upstairs. The grout in the tile can also get dirty and moldy if not cleaned regularly.
Costs
Costs of ceramic tile vary according to many factors. It depends on the type of tile, the contractor’s pricing and whether you are installing over an existing floor. If you are, it also depends on the type of floor you are installing on. Costs range anywhere from $700 to $4000.
