Disadvantages

• Tile can be cold underfoot, but in-floor heating can solve this.
• An advantage of tile can also be a disadvantage. While its permanence might be excellent from a performance standpoint, it can often be a significant obstacle when trying to replace it.
• Tile always requires some grout solution which can often be a higher maintenance product. That said, modern grouts are more stain-resistant and easily maintained.
