What Are the Best Types of Tile Today?

When choosing your flooring, it’s a good idea to consider the type of tile flooring before installing it.

We offer three common types: ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile.

• Ceramic Tile is excellent for kitchen backsplashes and interior walls. Because it is made from recycled materials like clay and is kiln-fired at a lower temperature, this tile is considered lightweight compared to the other types. Ceramic helps insulate walls and floors, which can lower utility costs.

• Porcelain Tile is made from the same materials as ceramic. It's known for its durability and non-porous benefits because it is kiln-fired at a higher temperature. Porcelain is resistant to heat and heavy traffic, making it the right choice in areas near ovens, fireplaces, and entryways.

• Stone Tile offers a classic look that adds a touch of luxury to any space. Stone materials include marble, granite, slate, and travertine. Natural stone tiles are heavy and durable so you can install them inside and outside your home.

Which Type of Tile is the Best One For Me?

Tile flooring can generally be installed nearly anywhere, including outdoor spaces.

Since tile is straightforward to clean and design, choosing a custom look for your space is easy. Not sure which tile is right for you?

Here are some pro tips for selecting the right tile every time : 

• Are you looking for an outdoor tile? Choose a natural stone or a porcelain tile. However, any tile option will work if you’re installing a tile floor inside.
• Want to update your bathroom or kitchen? We recommend purchasing a tile option that offers some texture - this will help prevent slipping.
• What about wall tile? Have some fun with this tile! Install a tile with color or a unique design to offer a focal point or enhance the space.
• Finally, for walkways, pool areas, and fire pits, we suggest paver options, concrete materials, or porcelain tile for outdoor living spaces.
