Tile is beautiful, durable, long lasting and easy to maintain, making tile a great choice for many indoor and outdoor applications. Tile can be mixed and matched to create endless design variations to complement any architectural style or personality. There is tile that looks like stone, glass, even wood, so have fun and be creative when selecting the tile for your home project.
Kitchens, baths, floors, fireplaces and patios are just a few of the places where tile fits the bill, combining style and functionality.
When choosing tile there are several things to keep in mind.
Different types of tile have different strengths. For example: porcelain tile is much harder than clay tile.
Glaze: A smooth, high gloss glaze works best on counter tops and walls. For floors, patios and shower floors you’ll want a rougher surface that will prevent falls.
Size: Larger tile, 12×12 for example, works well on floors and patios, whereas mosaic tile is more suitable for areas such as walls and trim that won’t receive a lot of stress.
