FLOORING TIPS WITH BRIAN IGGULDEN FROM MICHAEL’S CARPET AND FLOORING

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE CERAMIC TILES OVER PORCELAIN? “I’m thinking of changing my Kitchen, Entry and Bathroom floors, do I use Ceramic or Porcelain tiles?”

“My friends advise me that Ceramic tiles will chip and crack, and Porcelain will not?”

One of the things customers ask of us when the process of deciding to purchase new flooring for Kitchens, Bathrooms and Entries begins. First though, we need to know the difference between, Ceramic and Porcelain tiles.

BRIAN IGGULDEN

Ceramic tiles are generally made from a clay base or a mixture of clay with other materials added, finished with a hard glaze which carries the colour and pattern. They are then Kiln fired, much the same as you would fire a coffee cup or a vase at a ceramic class. The clay is usually red or white. My experience has been, the redder the clay base the less expensive and less durable the tile. I have found that generally the greyer the bisque (or clay) the more durable the tiles. These tiles can be used on both the floor and wall.

If you chip them you will usually see the clay bisque as the colour will come off with the chipped glaze.

Ceramic tiles are generally a softer product that cuts easier, and has a higher water absorption rate.

They should not be used outside or in conditions that may freeze.

Porcelain tiles are generally made by what is known as the dust pressed method from porcelain clay.

This results in a denser tile, impervious, fine grained and generally smooth. Porcelain tiles can be crafted to look more like natural stones. They come glazed or unglazed, have a lower water absorption rate and are extremely durable.

Some Porcelain tiles are classed as frost proof with a water absorption rate of less than o.5%.

These can be used outdoors on porches, walkways, sunrooms etc. Unglazed are recommended.

Most consumers are under the impression that Porcelain tiles have the colour all the way through so that if they chip you cannot tell.

This is only true in what we call a full body Porcelain tile which are generally more expensive than regular Porcelain tiles.

5 IDEAS FOR BREAKFAST ON THE GRILL We tend to associate grilling with weekend cookouts and evening meals, but mornings shouldn’t be left out when it comes to these sizzling, charred flavours. Breaking out the grill for breakfast can result in deliciously toasty breakfast pizzas, perfectly runny eggs and smoky bacon and sausage.

If you’re a grill enthusiast or nature lover, you’ll appreciate a fun new way to cook outdoors using reusable, non-stick grilling sheets. With a grilling sheet that’s heat resistant to 550°F, grilling everything from fruit to sausages with expert grill marks is impressive to guests and a cinch on clean up. Even make sauces or sticky items without the mess, since they rinse easily with soap and water.

5 BREAKFAST ON THE GRILL IDEAS: 1. Place grilling sheet directly on the hot grill. Then place your bread on the sheet and flip every once in a while to get grill marks and serve.

2. Crack eggs directly onto a Cookina cooking sheet and top with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and breadcrumbs. You can add crumbled prosciutto, turkey or bacon on top as an optional ingredient.

3. Cook a fresh piece of salmon fillet on low heat until it flakes easily when pressed with a fork. Serve with cream cheese and bagels that are toasted on the grill as well.

4. Grill asparagus and top with your favourite cheese. Let it all melt on to your cooking sheet.

5. Assemble pineapple chunks, peaches, and nectarines on a bamboo kebab skewer. Brush with coconut milk and dust with cinnamon.

High-quality, reusable grilling sheets like Cookina are specially made for barbecue cooking. More information is available online at cookina.co.
