Why in southern countries they always lay tiles on the floor

In Russia, the usual flooring is linoleum and laminate, while in southern countries there is a tendency to use ceramic tiles in all rooms. What are the reasons for such a love of cold flooring?

Climatic features

This article, as an example, will consider such a southern and hot country like Israel. Not many tourists know that here 310 days a year there is hot and dry weather. The highest temperature indicators are held during July, August and September and reach 37 degrees Celsius.

From time to time, wind blows from the east on the country, bringing sand along with it. Rains continue from October to March, but they are not as intense and frequent as in Russia. In Israel, long daylight hours last about 10 hours.

All tourists upon arrival are charmed by the bright sky without a hint of clouds and the hot sun. But many, after a week, more often try to hide in the shade under the air conditioning from local weather. At the same time, cooling systems are not always able to cope with the load during continuous operation.

Sound flooring choices

Not every floor material can cope with such hot conditions. For example, a laminate even of the highest quality from such temperatures, over time, will begin to deform. To maintain the aesthetic appearance of the coating, you will have to tighten the bars every year.

With natural wood floors, the situation is even more complicated, since the material dries out from such dryness and heat. To prevent this, the parquet must be well saturated with oil at least once a year. Not everyone is ready for such preventative procedures. There is no need to talk about linoleum, since it fades from constant sunlight and high temperatures, and may even deform.

Against this background, tile becomes the best option that is used in all houses and rooms. Due to its high thermal conductivity, it cools faster and gives the feet a feeling of coolness, and the room has a feeling of freshness. In addition, tiles can be chosen here for any imitation or pattern. And so that your feet do not feel cold in the winter, all kinds of rugs are used, ordinary or heated.
