Types of Tiles

Which types of tile are the best fit for your unique space and needs? Tile can be made using a wide variety of materials. However, the bulk of our tile inventory includes ceramic, porcelain, and stone tile.

• Ceramic tile is light weight, made from natural materials, and comes in a wide variety of styles. When covered with the right glaze, ceramic can be incredibly resistant to scratching, making it an excellent choice if you have pets in your home. Ceramic tile is also ideal for places like your bathroom and laundry room.

• Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile that is denser and resistant to heat. Porcelain tile is more water resistant than ceramic, which means you can install it in places like your laundry room, kitchen and even outside as a patio without worrying about moisture being absorbed and causing cracks. For the best spill protection, choose a dark color, which will hide problem areas between cleanings.

• Natural stone is available in a variety of beautiful colors and textures, and you’ll also find that no two tiles look the same, giving you the opportunity to give a unique touch to your space. Natural stone tiles are heavy and durable, so you can have the installed inside and outside of your home. When sealed correctly, natural stone is stain and water resistant.

• Have you always hoped to use hardwood in your new bathroom or kitchen? Our wood-look tile can truly save the day: ceramic and porcelain are much harder substances than hardwood, so they will not ever dent or stain in such settings. That’s why wood -look tile is also a wonderful choice for backsplashes.

• Made to capture the natural grain of hardwood, while emulating the easy-care aspects of a tile, wood-look tile is offered in a full spectrum of grains, shades, and patterns, and will also stand up against moisture and heavy foot traffic. There are hundreds of varieties, made of both vinyl and porcelain, meaning wood-look tile is truly the best of both worlds.
