What Types of Tile Are There?

The three types are stone, ceramic, and porcelain, which are available in a wide range of sizes, colors, styles, textures, and patterns to add to your unique home design and decor.

 

Ceramic and porcelain tiles contain natural ingredients like clay, sand, and water to lessen your exposure to harmful chemicals.

 

• Ceramic tile is a budget-friendly option and is the most common type of tile you’ll see in kitchens because of its lightweight construction and range of designs. It can be installed on floors and walls.

 

• Porcelain tiles are denser than ceramic and more resistant to foot traffic and moisture. They can withstand years of use and continue to look new. You cannot easily crack or scratch porcelain tiles, so you are free to select a variety of furniture to place on top of the tiles. Many porcelain tiles are slip-resistant for use outdoors or in bathrooms and kitchens.

 

• Stone tiles are made using natural rocks like marble, granite, and limestone. Each stone tile is unique, so you can have a completely custom floor with this option. Stone is used both indoors and outdoors and usually needs to be sealed to lock moisture out.

 

Tile For Your Walls
