Do you have your heart set on a tile wall or tile backsplash? Here are points to consider as you narrow down your tile choices.

Best Types of Tiles

Today’s tile is made from everything under the sun, including metal, glass, and mosaic.

New tile products appear on the market regularly, but the bulk of tiles are made using ceramic, porcelain, or stone. Consider these facts while choosing your tile material.

• Ceramic tile is the most common flooring or wall choice for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s affordable and comes in an array of style options. There are multiple sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns to choose, so no design is impossible! Ceramic tile resists water and heat and is sturdy enough to handle heavy foot traffic. It’s ideal for indoor settings, but not recommended for outdoor use.

• Porcelain tile is great for indoor and outdoor use, as well as commercial. It’s more durable than ceramic since it’s heated at a higher temperature. Perfect for heavy foot traffic for changing weather conditions, it will rarely crack. Porcelain tile has a slip resistant surface for your protection and peace of mind. These tiles are durable and long-lasting and come in the same styles as ceramic.

• Stone tiles are completely natural and are quarried in slabs. Since no slab comes from the same location, each tile is unique. Stone flooring is long lasting and beautiful but can become expensive depending on the size of the area covered. Most stone tile is rated for indoor and outdoor use and is stain resistant.

A Tile That Looks Like Wood

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

If you have your heart set on hardwood in your bathroom or kitchen, wood-look tile is something to consider. Wood-look tile looks like natural hardwood- the intricate wood grains and patterns– along with the ease and flexibility that comes with a vinyl, porcelain, or ceramic tile.

Wood-look tile is made to withstand moisture, heavy foot traffic, climate extremes, splashes, and spills, and its easy to care for. Damaged tiles can be individually replaced, making repairs cheaper as the years roll on. For these reasons, one might argue that wood-look tile is even better than the real thing.

Where Can I Install Tile?

One of the reasons tiles are so popular is the fact it can be installed nearly anywhere.

Tile installations can be done indoors and outdoors are easy to customize. There are tile options suitable for both residential and commercial use. Our tile is made to manage moisture and wear, with most of them considered 100% waterproof. Because of this, tile is equally at home in your living room as it is poolside.

Tile for Your Walls

A bold and colorful alternative to wallpaper or paint, backsplash tile is always on trend.

Creative and customizable, your tile backsplash will bring an instant boost to your kitchen or bathroom, while protecting your walls from everyday damages.

There are, quite literally, thousands of colors, textures, materials. and size combinations to consider, so it’s easy to create a backsplash that’s seriously unique to your space. Tile backsplashes are a great addition to any style scheme: whether you’re contemporary, classical, or somewhere in between.

Can I Install my Own Tile?

Unless you’re experienced in tile installation, we don’t recommend it.

Tile installation is a tricky job: a job involving lots of measuring, grading, cutting, and grouting. It’s messy and can quickly go wrong if you’re unfamiliar with the process.

Choosing professional tile installation means you’ll stay protected under your product warranty, and your new tile floor or wall will get off to the right start! Ask our team how we can help with your upcoming tile installation.
