There are three main types of tile: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are the most common residential tile options. Ceramic and porcelain are made of the same materials, but porcelain is denser. Since porcelain is dense, it can resist moisture and is a practical option for outdoor patios. Both ceramic and porcelain are available in traditional tile looks and a wide array of vibrant or neutral colors, as well as wood and stone-inspired texture.
One of the most durable tile materials, porcelain, has maintenance advantages. Chief among these is the resistance to spills, which makes it a good option for the kitchen environment. For even better spill protection, choose a dark color, which will hide problem areas between cleanings. Moisture resistance is another one of the unique benefits of tile constructed from porcelain, and one worth keeping in mind if you live in a humid climate.
Porcelain tiles come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and styles. You can choose different sized and shapes tiles to create a design on your floor or choose from different shades and patterns for a unique installation. Design possibilities are limitless with porcelain tile.
Ceramic is made from sand, glass, and other natural materials. This is an eco-friendly and attractive option for both flooring and backsplashes. If coated with the right glaze, ceramic can be incredibly resistant to scratching, making it a wise choice if you have pets running free throughout your home.
We also offer a high-end stone collection. Beautiful and classy, natural stone is available in a variety of colors and textures. They’re perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. You’ll also find that no two tiles are alike, giving you the opportunity to give a unique touch to your space. Stone is usually treated and sealed to protect against spills, stains, and scratches, so it will last a long time if properly maintained.
Since tile is inherently durable and resistant to moisture, it can be installed anywhere in your home. Ceramic and porcelain are especially popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, but they also can be installed in living rooms and basements. Porcelain tile is even durable enough for outdoor settings such as patios or walkways.
In addition, tile can be installed on walls and backsplashes, and it can be used to create custom showers and baths. Most tile that’s installed on walls is not suitable to be used on floors. One of the most exciting things about a tile backsplash is how easy it is to make them your own! Rather than just selecting one tile, you can create a design or pattern, add borders, or even use a couple of mosaics. Your backsplash doesn’t have to be simple unless you want it to be, and no matter what your design goals are, create something that reflects them with a custom tile backsplash.
Along with providing a way to customize the look of your kitchen or bathroom, tile also offers you the durability you need. These areas are exposed to high moisture as well as food splatters and spills that could be sticky, so having a material that is strong enough is an excellent investment. Plus, you can trust that tile will shield your walls without cracking or chipping.
