Types of Tiles

Which type of tile is right for your floors or walls? Each tile type has its own strengths and limitations.

• Ceramic tile is the most popular type, with endless sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns available. Ceramic is durable and water-resistant, and it can be glazed for added shine and surface protection. It’s perfect for kitchen and bathroom floors. Easy to clean, and extremely versatile, ceramic tile–which is made from organic components like clay and minerals -is a wonderful option for insets. Consider a textured variety for a more slip-resistant flooring option.

 

• Porcelain tiles have extra durability suitable for outdoor and commercial use. They are great with changing weather conditions and heavy foot traffic. Even when the surface is wet, porcelain remains slip resistant. Fired at a higher temperature, porcelain tile is a denser variety of ceramic. Since this greater density is an attribute for greater moisture resistance, this is a highly sought-after option for bathroom floors and spa areas.
• Stone tile lends unique character and natural beauty to your entryway, bathroom, or kitchen floor. Each tile is truly one-of-a-kind, Available in a rainbow of colors and textures, stone augments any style, from traditional to post-modern. Choose options like marble, slate, or granite.

 

Both ceramic and porcelain are available in a wide variety of looks, including natural wood looks. Wood look tile looks exactly like real wood planks, but it's as durable as any other tile option.
