What are the different types of tile flooring?

When it comes to floor tile, the choices are almost limitless. They're all beautiful but have different grades that determine how and where one can be used.

Read labels thoroughly. Also, be sure to describe your project to the retailer. The right or wrong one will impact both aesthetics and function.

Porcelain & ceramic are the most well-known

Porcelain is heavier, denser, and waterproof whether or not it's glazed. As a result, it is ideal for busy, active rooms like the kitchen.

Porcelain can also be used on patios, decks, and poolside floors.

When you come into our tile store, you see that porcelain is available in countless colors and patterns. These large format tiles can be made to look like anything, including wood, stone, concrete, fabric, leather, and more.

You're probably most familiar with the 4 X 4 ceramic squares. These are seen on indoor, moderately busy rooms, countertops, backsplashes, and walls.

Mosaics: currently trending on bathroom floors

These are tiny, decorative, and often glass-coated. They are durable and resistant to mold and mildew.

Natural stone tiles to add architectural interest

These add sophistication and will instantly uplevel your home's appearance. Be sure to ask the experts in the tile shop about sealing and other maintenance requirements. Some of the most popular ones for the floor include limestone, marble, granite, and travertine.

Remember that an affordable, durable alternative is the stone look tile. This is often made with porcelain.
