Durable tile flooring designed to last

What should you consider when shopping for tile?

Shopping for tile can feel overwhelming because there are so many choices available. However, when you break the process into clear categories, it becomes much easier to narrow down the right option for your home. Our knowledgeable team walks you through each factor so that you feel confident in your decision.

Material selection

The type of tile material you choose will influence durability, appearance, and maintenance needs.

• Ceramic tile offers versatility and affordability, and it works well in many residential spaces.
• Porcelain tile is denser and more water-resistant than ceramic tile, which makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic or moisture-prone areas.
• Glass tile adds brightness and dimension and is often used for backsplashes and decorative accents.
• Metal tile creates a bold, contemporary look and works well in accent applications.
• Natural stone tile, such as marble, travertine, limestone, or granite, delivers unique beauty with organic variation.

Each material has specific care requirements and performance benefits, so we make sure you understand how each option will function in your space before you make a final selection.

Size and layout

Tile size plays a major role in how a room looks and feels. Larger tiles create a more open appearance because they reduce the number of grout lines. Smaller tiles can add texture and work especially well in compact spaces or detailed designs.

We also help you think through layout patterns, direction, and grout color. The orientation of tile planks or the decision to install a herringbone pattern can dramatically change the visual impact of a room. Even grout color can affect whether your tile blends seamlessly or makes a bold statement.

Shape and design style

Tile is no longer limited to traditional square formats. Today’s designs include a wide range of shapes that allow for greater creativity.

• Rectangular plank-style tiles
• Hexagon tiles
• Chevron and herringbone formats
• Geometric and patterned tiles
• Classic square and subway shapes

We help you balance creativity with practicality so that your tile not only looks beautiful but also complements the overall design of your home.

Finish and texture

The finish of your tile affects both its appearance and its safety. Glossy finishes reflect more light and create a sleek, polished look. Matte finishes offer a softer and more natural appearance.

Textured surfaces can improve slip resistance, which is especially important in bathrooms, entryways, and other areas where moisture may be present.

We take your household’s needs into account when recommending the right finish, especially if you have children, pets, or high-traffic spaces.

Where can tile be used beyond flooring?

Tile is extremely versatile, and its applications extend far beyond traditional flooring. Many homeowners choose tile to create cohesive design elements throughout their homes.

1. Wall tile: Tile can add texture and durability to bathroom walls, laundry rooms, and even living areas. A tiled accent wall can transform a simple space into a visually striking feature.
2. Kitchen backsplash tiles: A tile backsplash protects your walls from moisture and cooking splatter while serving as a focal point in the kitchen. Glass mosaics, patterned ceramic tiles, and sleek porcelain tile options are popular choices for adding personality to this space.
3. Shower surrounds: Tile is a natural fit for showers because it handles constant moisture exposure while allowing for creative design elements such as built-in niches, decorative borders, and statement walls.
4. Fireplace surrounds: Tile can enhance a fireplace by adding texture, contrast, or natural stone elegance. Whether you prefer modern porcelain or classic stone, tile can elevate this central feature of your home.
5. Outdoor areas: Certain porcelain and natural stone tiles are rated for exterior use, allowing you to create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces when properly installed.

If you are interested in coordinating tile across multiple areas of your home, our design team can help you select complementary options that create a cohesive look.

How do you care for tile flooring?

One of the reasons homeowners appreciate tile flooring is its relatively low maintenance requirements. While tile is durable, proper care will ensure that it maintains its appearance for years to come.

We recommend the following maintenance practices:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris
• Mop using a manufacturer-approved cleaner
• Clean spills promptly, particularly on natural stone surfaces
• Seal natural stone tiles as recommended by the manufacturer
• Maintain grout lines with periodic cleaning

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are generally very easy to maintain. Natural stone tiles may require additional sealing and specialized cleaning products, but many homeowners find that the unique look of stone makes the extra care worthwhile. When we complete your tile installation, we provide clear care guidelines so that you understand exactly how to protect your investment.
