Let’s look at a few of the key differences between ceramic and vinyl to see which is considered your most durable tile option.
Under normal wear and tear use, you’ll typically find that vinyl tile usually has about a 10-year lifespan in total. It’s a very durable and resilient flooring material. It’s easy to replace should you happen to have a scratch come up or a rip/tear along the way. You simply heat the tile to loosen it from its current adhesive, remove, clean, and replace it with the new piece of tile.
On the other hand, ceramic tile flooring has a much longer lifespan, ranging upwards of 35-40 years. It’s also fairly simple to replace should you need to and grout lines can be resealed every so often as needed.
However, when it comes to cleaning, you’re going to find that vinyl flooring is the easiest material to keep clean over time. Its lack of grout that typically collects stains and mildew, keeps it cleaner longer.
