Types of Tiles

The tried-and-true ceramics, stones, and porcelains are still the most trusted types of tile. There’s even tile that looks and feels like your favorite hardwood. Which one is the best choice for you? Truly, it depends on your needs and tastes. Let’s take a closer look at the most popular tile types:

• Ceramic tile is made of natural clay that’s fired in a kiln. Sturdy and damage-resistant, ceramic tile works great in any space, indoors and outdoors. It’s known for its beauty, elegance, and wide variety of designs. You can find ceramic in a variety of patterns, bright and neutral solids, and everything in between. Ceramic tile can be installed in areas like kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, formal dining room floors, and other indoor residential areas of your home.

• Porcelain tile is a type of ceramic that’s fired at a much higher temperature, with a denser outcome. It’s popular for outdoor usage but makes itself at home anywhere. Porcelain is the most durable type of tile on the market today, so it works well throughout your home. It can be installed in heavy-traffic rooms, on patios, and on accent walls and backsplashes. Porcelain is also 100% waterproof, which makes it an excellent choice for almost any space, including your shower. You won’t have to choose between function and beauty with porcelain, as it can be found in your favorite styles.

• Stone tile is naturally resistant to extreme weather and is popular for outdoor walkways, pool areas and patios, and around the fireplace. If you’re looking for high-end tile, consider stone. The type of stone can vary but includes slate, granite, marble, and other natural materials. Depending on the area you want to cover, stone can be a costly choice, though we believe that there is simply nothing as beautiful as the natural look of stone.

Tile for Your Walls

Whether you’re looking for the most affordable way to upgrade your space, or you want to complete the overall design, a tile backsplash is an excellent way to accomplish your design goals.

One of the most exciting things about using tile for your kitchen or bathroom backsplash is that you can select tiles that reflect your personality. In such frequented spaces, having an accent that is customized to your preferences will only make you love it more. You can choose multiple tiles, add a mosaic border, or go bold and opt for a brightly colored, geometric tile.
