What Types of Tiles Are There?

There are thousands of tiles on the market today, but stone, ceramic, and porcelain are still the most popular tile materials.

Ceramic tile is used in both residential and commercial settings and is a fine addition to floors and walls. Made of clay minerals, which are then fired in a kiln, ceramic tile is extremely resistant to scratching, and it’s easy to wipe it clean. Ceramic tile works great in settings with pets for this reason, and it is affordable. Still, ceramic does have limitations, as it isn’t your best bet for outdoor settings.

Porcelain tile has similar origins but is fired at a much higher temperature. Porcelain tile has the advantage over ceramics as it can be used outdoors. Dense and very resilient, porcelain won’t crack under pressure. It typically has a textured surface, which can help prevent slips and falls in bathrooms and other areas prone to moisture.

Stone tile can be used to create different looks, from rustic organic to glossy and high-end. Made using natural minerals, such as marble and granite, each stone tile or slab is unique and one-of-a-kind. It can be left natural or can be polished to create a high gloss. Most stone tile is sourced from quarries and can last for multiple generations if properly vetted.

Why Choose Stone Tile?

Since it is made from nature’s strongest substances, stone tile can readily stand up to weather and extreme temperatures. Slate and granite tile are perfect for the garden walkway, while marble tile can make a dramatic statement as a luxurious indoor floor. Stone is especially luxurious since no two tiles will be exactly alike.

A Wonderful Wood Alternative

Wood-look tile achieves its beautiful visuals via high-definition digital printing to replicate the intricate grains of natural hardwood. Choose from planks and tiles of varying shapes and sizes, with different hardwood species represented - then create your own customized look. Wood-look tile can be used on walls or installed in any room.

Offering the look of luxurious hardwood without the hassle, wood-look tile is a wonderful way to create consistency in your home, especially in challenging rooms like your kitchen or bathroom.

Where to Install Tile?

Tile can be installed throughout your home, such as on floors, backsplashes, custom showers, and even patios.

The area where tile can be installed depends on the type of tile. For example, since porcelain is the most durable option and 100 percent waterproof, it’s best for high-traffic areas like:

Patios
Bathrooms

Because porcelain is 100% waterproof, it can also be installed in all of these rooms, but also in:

Ceramic tile is also durable and can be installed in living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and playrooms. Stone tiles vary depending on the type of stone, as each material has specific characteristics that determine its porosity.
