Tile is an enduring and artistic option for your home’s flooring, and a beautiful choice for backsplashes, bathroom and shower walls, tub areas, patios, and much more. Today’s market is overflowing with stylish tile options, and with new brands, glazes, and textures introduced regularly, there’s a product for everyone.

 

At Casey Carpet One Floor & Home, we take pride in our impressive tile inventory. Are you considering adding tile to your home or business, but not sure where to begin? Here’s helpful information to guide your way.

Types of Tiles

There are three main types of tiles: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Here are things to consider when picking out which will work best in your circumstances.

• Ceramic tiles are made to last indefinitely. Created from clay and kiln-fired, it can be used as both wall and floor tiles. Ceramic tile is ideal for almost any area and can potentially be installed anywhere. Excellent for shower walls and kitchen or bathroom backsplashes, ceramic tile comes in countless styles, shapes, and patterns. From classic mosaics to four-inch hexagonal tiles, ceramic tile will add class and luxury to your space at an affordable cost.

 

• Porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic fired at a hotter temperature and made from denser clays, resulting in a more robust product. For this reason, porcelain tile is considered the most durable tile option. Ideal for commercial spaces and high-traffic areas like mudrooms, hallways, and stairs, porcelain tile is one of the best available flooring options when it comes to strength.

 

• Stone tiles are cut from slabs of granite, slate, marble, travertine, and other natural stones. They’re excellent for your outdoor spaces but also work well in mudrooms, hallways, kitchens, and more. Stone tiles are quarried from all kinds of places. Thanks to the earth’s natural creation, no two stones are identical. However, stone tiles can be pricey depending on the size of the area, so consider your space when determining your budget.

 

A Tile That Looks Like Hardwood

 

Wood-look tile is not just a pretty addition to a room, but also an option that provides durability and little maintenance. With so many amazing features, wood look tile is an excellent choice for any home.

Wood-look tile is moisture resistant, so bathrooms and kitchens are prime rooms for wood-look tile where the wood look could not be achieved otherwise.

Where to Install Tile

Because tile is fired at elevated temperatures and pressures, it’s an incredibly sturdy product. Cracks and chips are highly unlikely, which makes wood look tile ideal in high-traffic areas. Entryways, stairs, and hallways are the most popular spaces for tile thanks to their durability Tile flooring and backsplash tile is ideal for kitchen & bath, mudrooms, and any moisture-prone space in your home thanks to their water-repellent qualities. While porcelain tiles can be too heavy for vertical surfaces like walls, ceramic wall tiles are perfect for creating a gorgeous backsplash or custom tile bathroom.

 

We also have a range of premium porcelain and stone tiles graded for outdoor use because they’re compatible with freeze-thaw cycles and the elements. Additionally, we carry commercial tiles that will look beautiful in your business entranceway, hallways, restrooms, and more.
