Ceramic tile: the classic choice

 
Ceramic tiles have graced the floors of homes and establishments for centuries and for a good reason. Made from natural clay and baked to perfection in a kiln, these tiles provide a touch of classic elegance and offer durability that stands the test of time. With so many design, size, and color choices, ceramic tiles give you the flexibility to create a floor that truly reflects your style. Key features of ceramic tiles include:
  • Variability: Comes in a range of colors, designs, and textures.
  • Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for medium to high-traffic areas.
  • Easy maintenance: Dirt, stains, and liquids rest on the tile flooring surface, allowing you to wipe or mop them away easily.

Porcelain tile: the premium pick

 
Porcelain tiles, a subset of ceramic tiles, are often hailed as the premium choice in tile flooring. Its denseness sets porcelain apart, achieved by using refined clay and baking it at higher temperatures. This results in a tile that is tougher and less porous, making it an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor applications. Key features of porcelain tiles:
  • Water resistance: Low porosity ensures that it remains impervious to moisture, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces.
  • Durability: Harder than ceramic, it stands up brilliantly against heavy foot traffic.
  • Versatility: Mimics the appearance of natural stones, woods, or even textiles without the high maintenance that these materials typically require.
