What Types of Tiles Are There?

Since there are so many types of tile flooring and wall tile available, it’s hard to include a complete list of every single variety and its merits. Certain things remain unchanged for years, and tile’s most popular types include ceramic, porcelain, and stone.

• Porcelain tile is carefully crafted using naturally sourced clay and minerals. It’s then glazed and fired inside a kiln at the highest possible setting. The result is an incredibly dense, thick, and sturdy tile that works well outdoors. Its sturdy treat makes it great for around the bathroom, shower, pool, or spa.
• Ceramic tile is kiln-finished at a much lower setting, resulting in a tile that fares better indoors. Despite this, ceramic is still quite sturdy and can be used in both residential and commercial spaces. It’s a popular option for kitchens since it resists dents, moisture, and scratches and is easy to take care of.
• Stone tile is a wonderful option for those who prefer natural materials over manufactured ones. Organic and inspired, stone tile is crafted out of marble, quartz, granite, and other stunning rocks and minerals. It works great indoors and outdoors and can be either left in its rough state or polished to a heavy sheen.

A Tile That Works Harder Than Hardwood

Hardwood’s appealing beauty is undeniable, but in moisture-prone areas, it’s not a sustainable solution.

Wood-look tile, made of high-test porcelain and ceramic, is the perfect compromise that won’t ever look or feel like you’re compromising. Recent advances in digital photo-imaging have given us durable, affordable, and eclectic tiles made to perfectly capture the grains of all your favorite hardwood types.

Whether you’re seeking a traditional tile shape or more realistic planks, wood-look tile can make all your dreams a reality. Easy to care for, this tile won’t readily stain, crack, or dent. Simply clean it on occasion with a mop or damp cloth and go about living. We promise no stains will linger.

Where Can I Install Tile?

Tile can be installed in any type of setting and incorporated with any style. Made to resist moisture, there are types of tile that are completely waterproof.

Tile can be used to creatively customize your one-of-a-kind design, using hundreds of combinations of colors, patterns, textures, materials, and sizes. There are traditional tile shapes, as well as planks, with tile made to mimic hardwood, as well as high-gloss ceramics that look and feel like artisan pottery.

Choosing The Best Tile

Tile is made to endure whatever the day might bring, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t conduct a little research before making your final purchase.

Narrowing down your options gets a little bit easier with helpful tools like the PEI rating scale. Created by the Porcelain Enamel Institute, this scale rates a tile’s hardness on a scale of 1-5, with a “5” being the sturdiest option.
