What Types of Tile Are There?

It still reigns true today that the three main types of tiles are ceramic, porcelain, and stone, even though technology has changed over the years. Proving to be efficient and long-lasting, each type of tile is as dependable as ever.

 

• Ceramic tile is made of clay and heated to elevated temperatures and pressures, which makes it sturdy and strong.
• Porcelain tile is made of the same materials as ceramic and heated at even higher temperatures and pressures, which makes it sturdier than ceramic.
• Stone tiles are not constructed but rather, quarried from different areas of natural Earth.

 

Planning Your Tile Installation

The benefits of tile flooring and wall tiles continue to amaze homeowners. From its easy-to-care-for features to its ability to last for years, tile pleases everyone. When you choose tile, you don’t have to worry about scuffs, scrapes, dents, or chips, because it’s so solid and dependable.

 

Which tile types are best for your upcoming project? Well, it depends on your intended site!

 

Both porcelain and stone tiles can be installed indoors and outdoors for:

• Patios

• Walkways

• Poolside

• Shower Niches

• Shower Walls

• Bathroom Floors

• Backsplashes

 

One thing to keep in mind when it comes to stone tiles is that it can become a pricy investment for larger spaces. If you’ve got a tight budget, opt for porcelain that looks like stone instead. Ceramic tiles are best for shower walls, accent walls, backsplashes, and in flooring applications with minimal traffic.
