Why does Japanese home renovation never use tiles? The reason is not just earthquakes

Why does Japanese home renovation never use "tiles"? Not just "earthquakes", you might not believe it when told

As we all know, Japan is an island country, and its area is not very large either, so when they build houses, they pay great attention to the use of space, and they also have a unique style. Moreover, we can see that houses in Japan are mostly made of wood, so why don't they choose to use tiles? In fact, they often have "earthquakes", which is one aspect, and there is another reason, you might not believe it when told!

Tiles are a must-use renovation material for people in our country, because tiles are not only easy to clean. They also look quite bright when you live in the house, so they can be said to be a material with very high cost performance. Moreover, when we take a walk around the renovation market, you will find that the price of tiles is also very expensive, so Japanese people, also considering cost, will not put tiles in their own homes. In addition, their geographical location is very special, and "earthquakes" often happen from time to time, so Japanese people, taking this into consideration, feel that laying wooden boards is still safer. This is only one of the reasons. There is also

There is also the fact that much of Japan's traditional culture was also passed down from China, only it has been preserved relatively well and then combined with modern technology, so they also prefer to use wood for buildings. Their living habits are also very special, because when they sleep they prefer to sleep on the floor, so wooden floors are also the best choice, because tiles are a relatively cold material, and sleeping on them makes it very easy to be affected by dampness and have health problems. There is also the fact that they take off their shoes before entering the door, so this is also the main reason they mainly do not use tiles, because wooden floors are much more comfortable, and they are also warm to step on.

We are different, though. When we sleep, we all sleep in beds, and even if we take off our shoes when entering the door, we will put on slippers. Moreover, tiles are very convenient to clean, and do not require the same kind of maintenance as wooden floors.

So this is also why Japanese home renovation never uses "tiles". It is not only because of "earthquakes". Now you know, right!
