Tile flooring and wall tile continue to be popular options for homes and businesses alike because of their variety of styles and natural durability. If you’re considering adding tile to your list of home improvements, keep reading to learn more about tile and where you can install yours!
There are three main types of tile: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Porcelain and ceramic tile are the most common residential and commercial flooring options, while stone tile is a popular addition to landscapes and quiet and dry interior spaces. All three types of tile are natural and derived from natural elements from the earth. They are also an eco-friendly and allergy-free option for homeowners.
Ceramic is made from kiln-fired clay and works great in all types of settings, both residential and commercial. It can be used both on floors and walls. Ceramic is durable and easy to wipe clean. While ceramic tile isn't the best choice for outdoor uses, it is durable enough to handle scratching and scuffs from pets and heavy foot traffic.
A cousin of ceramic tile, porcelain tile is a clay tile that’s fired hotter, for a denser product. Because of this added density, porcelain tile works well outdoors, as well as indoors. It can stand up to heavy moisture and extreme weather. Porcelain is often textured, making it popular for floor tile and wall tile for shower and bath surrounds.
Natural stone tile can be incorporated in endless décor schemes, creating looks ranging from upscale glossy to rustic natural. Using organic stones and minerals such as granite, quartz, and marble, your stone tiles and slabs can be left in their original state or glossed to a high sheen. Stone will stand the test of time if installed and maintained correctly.
Hardwood never goes out of style and its universal appeal makes this look a fantastic addition to all spaces, regardless of your desired style. However, this type of flooring requires maintenance and some solid hardwood and engineered hardwoods can’t be installed in areas with high moisture. Luckily for those looking to create a seamless hardwood look throughout their interior, there’s wood-look tile! Wood-look tile, which is usually made from ceramic or porcelain, offers homeowners a better way to enjoy this universal pattern.

It is an excellent wall tile, thanks to its lighter make, and this tile has been proven to save on your energy bills!
