Types of Tile Flooring

Although tile flooring comes in endless varieties, most are made using ceramic, tile, or stone. Popular in residences, ceramic and porcelain are made from fired clays.

• Ceramic tiles are available in various shapes, sizes, and colors. It can be used for flooring, walls, and even on countertops. It’s fade and stain-resistant and is so durable that, with proper maintenance, it can be permanent. Another benefit is that ceramic is water and heat-resistant, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. However, it’s so versatile you can use it in any indoor setting.
• Porcelain tiles, fired at a higher temperature, are denser. Enjoy porcelain indoors and outdoors. There are millions of color and texture combinations available, including wood-look tiles. Porcelain also absorbs less water than ceramic. This means porcelain can withstand tough weather conditions, making it perfect for the outdoors. With porcelain tiles, your home can be just as stylish outside as it is inside.
• Wood-look tile is made to resemble real wood. Because of advancements in digital printing, it appears truly authentic. Wood-look tile is available in traditional squares, as well as in plank sizes. It performs exactly like a traditional tile and can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas with moisture. There are even options that are durable enough for custom showers, baths, and outdoor patios.
• Stone tile is the most elegant option. Preferred for high-end designs, stone tile can be used in various applications. Choose from traditional or trendy looks in marble, slate, granite, and other natural resources. No two stones are identical, so your project will be unique.

Installing Your Tile Floor

Moisture-resistant and incredibly sturdy, tile can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and on outdoor patios. It’s also a wonderful wall-paneling or backsplash wall.

Wherever you opt to enjoy tile flooring, we advise a professional installation. Tile installation is a tedious process with little margin for error. Grading and grouting require precision and practice, particularly when it comes to more intricate designs.

Reinvent Your Bath With Tile

Bathroom floor tile is a great option because it combines style with water resistance. Therefore, there’s no worrying about walking on tiles with wet, bare feet, especially since the surfaces can be textured for increased slip resistance. It’s thick and strong to protect against foot traffic, drops, and other impacts.

Compared to floor tile, wall tile is less focused on durability and more focused on design. Bathroom wall tiles are typically small and available in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be used to create intricate designs you won’t see on floors. For extra design options, check out mosaic tiles. Mosaic tiles are extremely versatile, and they can help create custom designs.

Shower tile is similar in appearance to wall tile but more durable. In fact, most showers are designed with porcelain tile. It has continually proven to be the best choice for showers.
