What Are The Different Types of Tile?

There are three types of tile: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. The type of tile you choose will depend on the area you wish to install it. Here’s a closer look at these three types of tile.

Ceramic Tile

• Ceramic tile is a lighter tile that is made of natural materials like clay, and then kiln-fired.
• Ceramic is a great option for walls and backsplashes and comes in a variety of styles and patterns.
•  Ceramic works as a great insulator during those hot months, helping to save on cooling costs! 

Porcelain Tile 

• Porcelain is made from the same materials as ceramic but then kiln-fired at a higher temperature. This makes porcelain denser and more durable.
• Because of its enduring strength, porcelain works well as flooring in both residential and commercial settings. 
• Porcelain is a durable tile that resists moisture, scratches, dents, and scuffs. 
• This tile comes in a variety of wood-look and stone-look options.

Stone Tile 

• Natural stone tile is made from organic minerals like granite and marble, and no two tiles look the same. This means that your new installation will be distinctively yours.
• This tile is extremely durable when maintained and treated properly. It’s perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and outdoor paces. 
• Finally, natural stone tile adds value to your home and will last for generations.

Tile for The Home

Tile is not just limited to your floors; the design possibilities are unlimited. When choosing your tile, it’s a good idea to consider the area of installation. Here’s a look at how to best use tile in your home.

Tile for Kitchen & Bath

Kitchens and bathrooms get the most use out of every other room in the home. With wear and tear, there is also the risk of water damage and food spills. Because of this, tile is an excellent wall and flooring option! 

Consider Your Tile Options

1. Due to slippage concerns, glossy tiles may not work best in a kitchen. 
2. Looking to create a seamless hardwood floor plan? Consider wood-look porcelain or ceramic tiles!
3. Use a smooth, non-porous tile for backsplashes and bath surrounds. 

Tile for Outdoor Entertaining

Wow your guests with an outdoor entertainment area that is as functional as it is beautiful! You can use outdoor-rated tile for projects like patios, pool areas, walkways, and more!

Consider Your Tile Options

1. Choose tie pavers that are ¼ to ½ thick
2. Your stone tile should be outdoor rated, to prevent cracking due to fluctuating temperatures
3. Your flooring expert will work with you to choose the right product for your outdoor project.

Our Tiling Process

When you work with us, you can rest assured knowing that your tile is perfectly installed and will last many years.

Here are a few things to consider when installing your tile:

• Tile does not typically need an underlayment. Wood floors will require backer board, while concrete flooring will require a membrane.
• Tile installation is messy! We recommend removing any furniture valuables from the area of installation, covering countertops and appliances, and/or hiring a cleaning service.
• We make installations work for you! Keep in mind that the average installation can take up to *5 days.

*Depends on sq footage of installation and pattern/type of tile being installed.
