Best Types of Tile

Which tile type will fare best in your home or office? Tile is made from a wide range of materials, but most tile is made from ceramic, porcelain, or stone.

• Ceramic Tile is lightweight and durable, crafted from kiln-fired clay. It’s highly scratch and water-resistant, but fares best indoors.
• Porcelain Tile is also made from kiln-fired clay but is fired at a hotter setting. More durable and dense than ceramic, porcelain tile is fully waterproof and fares great indoors and out.
• Stone Tile is carved from natural slabs of slate, granite, and marble. Durable and unique, stone tile can be used anywhere and lasts indefinitely.

Tile That Looks Like Wood

Wood-look tile is a smart choice for those who wish for hardwood looks with tile’s strength and waterproofing assets. 

Wood-look tile lets you experience all the things you love about natural hardwood- the intricate wood grains and patterns, for example – with the ease of care and flexibility that comes with vinyl, porcelain, or ceramic tile.

Like all tiles, wood-look tiles are made to withstand moisture, heavy foot traffic, climate extremes, splashes, and spills, and their care requirements are minimal. Damaged tiles can be individually replaced, making repairs more economical as the years roll on.

Where Can I Install Tile?

Tile isn’t only for floors: the perfect accent wall or backsplash makes a statement that can’t be accomplished with paint or wallpaper.

Among the most popular spots for tile installation are:

• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Showers
• Pools
• Patios
• Laundry rooms
• Walkways

Benefits of Backsplash Tile

A tile backsplash is a marvelous option for distinguishing your space with bold colors and patterns – the perfect thing when you need to accentuate a certain part of your room.

Since tile is heat and water-resistant and, in most cases, waterproof, it’s also a wonderfully stylish way to protect your walls from bathtub splashes and kitchen splatters. It’s a cinch to take care of- just wipe it clean- and it will stay new for much longer than paint or wallpaper.
