What types of tile flooring are available?

One of tile's greatest strengths is its variety. Different materials offer unique looks and performance benefits, making it easy to find the right fit for your project.

Ceramic and porcelain tile

Ceramic and porcelain are the most common tile flooring materials. Both are made from clay, but porcelain tile is fired at higher temperatures, making it denser and more resistant to moisture.

Ceramic tile remains a durable, budget-friendly option that's available in countless colors and styles.

Both porcelain and ceramic tile can realistically replicate hardwood, concrete, marble, and other natural materials while providing the easy maintenance tile is known for.

Natural stone tile

Natural stone brings unmatched character to any room. Marble, granite, slate, travertine, and limestone each feature unique colors and natural variation, creating a one-of-a-kind floor.

Natural stone tile works beautifully in entryways, bathrooms, kitchens, living spaces, and outdoor applications when the appropriate material is selected. Some stone products require periodic sealing to help protect against moisture and staining.

Glass tile

Glass tile is typically used as a decorative accent rather than a flooring material. Its reflective surface adds brightness and dimension, making it an excellent choice for backsplashes, shower walls, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls.

Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, glass tile adds visual interest without overwhelming a space.

Where can tile be installed?

Tile is one of the most versatile materials available. While it's a trusted flooring option, it also enhances many other areas throughout the home.

Tile flooring is an excellent choice for:

• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Laundry rooms
• Mudrooms
• Entryways
• Living rooms
• Commercial spaces

Beyond flooring, tile is commonly installed on:

• Kitchen backsplashes
• Shower walls
• Tub surrounds
• Fireplace surrounds
• Feature walls
• Outdoor patios and living spaces using exterior-rated tile

Its moisture resistance and durability make tile an ideal surface wherever beauty and long-term performance are priorities.

How do you maintain tile flooring?

Tile flooring is remarkably easy to maintain. Routine sweeping or vacuuming removes dirt and grit before they can collect in grout lines. Damp mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner as needed, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage certain tile finishes or natural stone.

If you choose natural stone, periodic sealing may be recommended to preserve its appearance and protect against staining. Grout can also benefit from occasional deep cleaning and resealing over time.

Adding entry mats and furniture pads helps minimize wear and keeps your floors looking their best for years.
