Why Tile?

Whatever your style is, tile can be the perfect addition to your space. It’s perfect for floors as well as walls.

Types of Tiles

There are three main tile types that you’ll encounter while you’re shopping: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Ceramics and porcelain are made from similar materials, including clay, sand, and water.

• Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures using denser clays. This creates a more robust product. For outdoor areas or for areas with heavy moisture, porcelain tile is more practical than ceramic. It’s 100% waterproof and stronger against impacts and other external stresses. It can manage changing weather conditions without cracking. Porcelain typically has a rougher texture than ceramic, so its surface offers greater slip resistance. Because of this, it's preferred for outdoor and commercial areas.
• Ceramic tiles are ideal for backsplashes, shower walls, and flooring. Ceramic tiles are preferred for indoor settings. There are diverse sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns, so no design is off-limits. Ceramics offers water and heat resistance and won’t fade or stain over time. It can be glazed for extra color and shine to the surface, offering added extra protection against water and stains. Unglazed tile does not show wear as easily, so it’s a better option for high-traffic settings

• Stone tile originates from natural rocks like granite, marble, and slate. No two stone tiles are identical, and with the organic looks that they bring to your home design, it’s no wonder stone is so popular. Stone tiles are suitable in both indoor and outdoor areas. It, as you can imagine, offers real stone looks, so it can add natural beauty and luxury to your home. We recommend sealing your stone floor to protect against spills and stains.

A Tile That Looks (And Feels) Like Real Wood

Wood-look tile flooring is durable and easy to maintain like you expect tile to be. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are the two most common wood-looking tile options and feature the same textures and even details as hardwood like grain and knots.
