These Tiles Will Keep Your Home Cool These Summers

A cool home is a blessing in summers. But if the summer heat is getting you down and energy bills are rising like leaps and bounds, try these floor tiles that will keep you cool and sane.

As we are right at the receiving end of the scorching summer, we brace ourselves – mentally and physically – to face the rising humidity and the energy bills that will come with it.

Yes, that’s right. To keep a home cool isn’t just the job of a well-functioning air conditioner; there’s more to it! You can still dodge the high energy bills and lower the unit consumption by focusing on other things like flooring and, more specifically, by using tiled flooring.

Trust us on this one, the choice of material for your flooring matters. For instance, any natural stone would be a good conductor of heat and, therefore, using them in areas where it is hot most of the year would be a wrong decision.

We have often heard from homeowners whether the materials keep a room cooler. The quick answer is yes, it can. That’s where cool tile flooring comes into the picture.

Below we highlight our favorite floor tiles collections perfect for sunny weather.

6 Tile Flooring to Help You Cool Down This Summer

1. Cool Tiles

It is our favorite pick because of its “COOL” nature and other endless benefits:

• It can reduce heat. Tremendously!
• Fans and Air conditioners keep you cool, but electricity bills are soaring and are heavy on pockets.
• You can put them on the terrace too.
• If you want to have a party on your terrace, it is now possible.

You can now opt for cool tiles from Orientbell Tiles that keep your homes cooler. These floor tiles reflect maximum heat and do not allow it to be transferred into your home, making it cooler inside. Usually installed on roofs, they are also called cool roof tiles.

Your indoor spaces aren’t the only ones that can benefit from cool flooring materials. Many outdoor pavers like balconies, parking, roofs, and swimming pool tiles are also more effective than others at staying cool.

2. Slate Tiles 

Slate is a natural stone quarried from the earth, usually from the mountains. It is a metamorphic rock formed over time. Thus, making it durable and can last several hundred years, often with little to no maintenance. And the best part is Slate look tiles are tough and resistant to scratches, scrapes, and dents.

3. Travertine Tiles

These tiles come in various colours and patterns, often giving a different yet classy look to your home decor. Travertine tiles are durable and long-lasting. Though long-lasting, travertine floors require a lot of work and maintenance. They also have microscopic pores on the surface, making them susceptible to water damage. Travertine look tiles are the best alternative to this.

4. Ceramic Tiles

Who doesn’t know about this? It is the most popular and most opted-for floor tiles are ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles can be glazed or unglazed and have a matte, semi-gloss, and super glossy finish, as per your requirement and availability. Another advantage of ceramic tiles is that they help reduce your energy use (and bills) by keeping your house cooler in the summer.

5. Paver Tiles

Are you looking for flooring tiles for your outdoor space? If yes, then don’t look further because Pavers tiles by Orientbell Tiles are a little cooler than concrete flooring.

6. Porcelain Tiles

Procelain Tiles made of porcelain are composed of clay, feldspar, and sand. Because of these compositions, porcelain tiles are an ideal flooring choice for homes in hot areas because they can withstand higher temperatures.
