We offer four main tile options: ceramic, porcelain, stone, and innovative wood-look tile.
Here’s a closer look at each type:
Ceramic Tile Floors
Ceramic tiles are crafted from clays fired at high temperatures, resulting in a glazed, easy-to-clean, and durable surface. These tiles are versatile, coming in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, textures, and finishes. Currently, oversized neutral tones are trending. For homes with pets or children, textured ceramic tiles are a practical choice. With endless patterns and finishes available, you can find the perfect style to suit your space.
Porcelain Tile Floors
Porcelain tile is a denser form of ceramic, known for its exceptional strength and durability. Ideal for commercial settings and bathrooms, porcelain tiles resist significant moisture and come in a wide variety of styles. Whether you prefer the look of elegant whites and greys or trendy patterns, porcelain tiles offer a versatile solution.
Stone Tile Floors
Stone tiles are made from natural minerals like granite and marble, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and outdoor spaces. Each stone tile is unique, ensuring your installation is one-of-a-kind. Stone tiles add value to your home and are built to last for generations, providing a timeless and elegant look.
Wood-Look Tile Floors
Wood-look tiles are crafted from porcelain or ceramic to resemble hardwood planks, complete with textures that mimic natural wood grain. These tiles are more durable than genuine hardwood, resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. Suitable for any room, including moisture-prone areas, wood-look tiles combine the beauty of wood with the durability of tile.
You spend a significant amount of time in your kitchen and bathroom, so why not design these spaces to reflect your personality and style? Kitchens and bathrooms are key areas in your home, and updating them to match your taste while staying on-trend adds considerable value. Tiles come in various shapes, styles, and colors, making them perfect for these spaces. Tiles aren't just for flooring—they’re also ideal for other projects! They are resistant to moisture, heat, staining, and scratching, making them perfect for the challenging areas in your home. Ceramic and porcelain are two of the most common types of tile, both durable enough for high-traffic areas. We also offer tile options for custom tiled showers, zero-entry showers, tub surrounds, and mosaic tiles.
Our selection of kitchen and bathroom tiles can be used for a variety of projects, including backsplashes. Adding a tile backsplash is one of the easiest and most popular ways to update your walls. Backsplashes are both stylish and functional, acting as a barrier against accidental splashes. You can create numerous looks, from a rustic backsplash for a cozy farmhouse-style kitchen or mudroom to a serene blue tile backsplash for a coastal and fresh feel. Whatever your style, it can be beautifully expressed in your backsplash!
