Subway tile manufacturers have developed durable tiles for all types of projects through the use of various glazes, glaze additives, and patterns. To this day, the major strengths of premium-quality subway tile remain to be:
Stain Resistance: The capacity for stain resistance of subway tiles depend on their ability to resist moisture. Glazed subway tiles and even some unglazed ties resist permanent staining by a variety of substances and can be easily cleaned with some guidance.
Dust, Dirt, and Residue Resistance: Subway tiles do not retain dust or residues as easily as other surfaces and can be easily cleaned with common household materials. They do not need polishing and buffing to maintain their finish. Just a simple daily cleaning procedure will help retain the finish and shine on subway tile.
Color Permanence: Fading cannot occur to your subway tile because color is fired into a tile's body or onto a tile's glazed surface. These colors do not fade even if exposed to direct sunlight and remain permanently colorfast.
Hygiene: Ceramic is a suitable material for any environment where hygiene is essential because its surface does not retain antigens or allergens easily, nor does it absorb fumes, odors or smoke.
