Which Tile Type Is Best For Me?

• Ceramic tile is the most popular and is always the first to be considered for kitchen and bathroom floors. It’s made of clays, which are glazed and then fired.

• Porcelain tile is both water and heat-resistant, making it a great option for an outdoor patio. A denser version of ceramic, porcelain is fired hotter for ultimate endurance.

• Stone tile is a wonderful choice that’s 100% natural. Marble, granite, and slate are examples. Stone tile can be pricy but offers a look of its own and adds value to your home.
