Tile has stood the test of time, and has been used by builders for thousands of years. You can choose from a variety of styles and sizes that feature today’s trendiest looks. Tile offers durability, easy maintenance, and timeless beauty – an ideal choice for both commercial and residential settings alike. Another benefit of tile is that it is a green choice. Today’s homeowners are more environmentally aware and want a floor that is eco-friendly. Most tiles feature low to no VOCs, are made from natural materials, and do not require harsh chemicals to be cleaned.

Types of Tiles

Ceramic tile is a popular option considered for kitchen and bathroom floors. It is made from clay that is pressed together and baked in a kiln. Ceramic tile comes in natural tones and glazed options that vary in color – meaning your choices are almost endless. The glaze also helps to make the tiles more resistant to moisture. If you want the same look but with greater durability, then porcelain tile may be the better option. Porcelain tile is made with the same materials as ceramic, but it is baked at a higher temperature during the manufacturing process to make it denser. Porcelain tile is practical for indoor and outdoor settings. Porcelain is both water and heat-resistant, making it a great option for an outdoor patio. Many porcelain tiles feature a texture surface to make them slip-resistant and to give you peace of mind. If you are looking for a more natural look to add to your home, stone tiles are a great option. It may be more expensive but you achieve a one-of-a-kind look as well as adding value to your home.

Tiles for Backsplashes

Tiles are not meant for just floors, they are practical and functional in other settings as well. Wall tile is a great compliment to walls in kitchens and bathrooms, and can even be used as a statement piece or focal point. Wall tiles can also be used to create a backsplash in your kitchen using mosaic and glass tiles. The different colors and shapes can be arranged to make symmetrical shapes that can be glued to your kitchen or bathroom wall.

Mosaic tile is great for backsplashes and walls. We don’t recommend using it as flooring, except in showers, because it is not designed to withstand foot traffic. It comes in relatively standard sizing, and you can choose from individual tiles or a premade design that is assembled on a backing that can easily be installed. Mosaic tiles are normally glass, but they can also be made from ceramic, porcelain, stone, metal, or concrete.
