Selecting Tile and Stone
The Versatility of Stone and Tile Flooring
Tile comes in many forms, is incredibly versatile and adds a stunning look to any room in your home. You can use tile for your floor, walls, backsplashes, and counters. Your options in tile are virtually endless! You can choose from ceramic, porcelain, stone, metal, or glass. As far as formats go, there are tiny mosaics to 20-inch tiles or larger. There are geometric shapes to consider – squares, rectangles, diamonds ,and ovals. And there are also textures – smooth, nubby and textured and finishes – matte, semi and high gloss.
The Basics of Tile
Not only is tile gorgeous but it’s also very practical. Tile is basically an inert surface of fired (baked) clay, metal or stone. It’s easy to keep clean and tends to retard the growth of fungus, mold and mildew.
Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tile is used interchangeably with porcelain. Technically, both traditional and porcelain tiles are ceramics made from clay and other minerals and are fired at high temperatures.
Porcelain Tiles
Porcelain tiles are a form of ceramic but they are fired at much higher temperatures. Porcelain is dense and highly moisture resistant which makes it a good choice for bathroom and outdoors.
Glass Tiles
Glass tiles range from opaque to opalescent. They’re available in broad sizes, shapes, textures, designs, and finishes. They are excellent for anything from accents to full-wall mosaic treatments.
Granite
Granite is a hard, durable natural stone that comes in many colors. Granite can be used on floors, walls, and counters.
Marble
Marble flooring is making a comeback. With its strength and durability, and over five-hundred varieties available, the possibilities are virtually limitless.
