Types of Tile

Most tile on the market today is ceramic, porcelain, or stone. The best tile for your home or business depends on factors like foot traffic, activity levels, rooms, and trends.

Learn about our different types of tiles:

• Ceramic tile is made of clays that are fired extra hot. This glazed tile is easy to clean, durable, and can mimic natural wood and stone. Consider a textured ceramic tile if you have pets or kids. There are endless patterns and finishes to consider.

• Porcelain tile is a denser variety of ceramic. Because of its enduring strength, porcelain is famous in commercial settings and in bathrooms. It resists significant moisture and comes in endless styles. Choose porcelain tile that mimics hardwood or washed cement; trendy patterns are available.

• Stone tile is made from organic minerals like granite and marble. It’s perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and outdoor paces. No two stones are alike, so choosing stone tile means your new installation will be distinctively yours. Stone tile adds value to your home and will last for generations.

• Wood-look tile is made from porcelain or ceramic tile that looks like hardwood. It comes in planks and is textured to look like natural wood. It is stronger and more durable than genuine hardwood. It is resistant to scratching, dents, and stains. It can be installed in any room in your home and in moisture-prone areas.

Wall and Backsplash Tile

Wall tiles are smaller than floor tiles, but they are available in a wide selection of shapes, colors, and patterns. Certain wall tiles are even practical for showers and baths! Tiles can also be used to create custom backsplashes for your kitchen. Homeowners love adding mosaic tiles and glass tiles to backsplashes because they offer color and shine that is difficult to replicate. Are you interested in adding backsplash tile to your kitchen? Be sure to work with one of our talented designers! Subway tile is currently one of the popular backsplash tile trends. The tiles get their name because they were first installed in New York subways in the early 1900s. Since then, subway tiles have continued to grow in popularity, so it’s no longer surprising to find them in restaurants, retail stores, hotels, and, of course, homes.
