Tile & Stone FAQs
Absolutely! Tile is one of the best options for kitchens and bathrooms because of its durability and moisture resistance. It stands up to spills, splashes, and humidity with ease while being incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Whether you're dealing with water, stains, or everyday messes, tile flooring provides a practical and stylish solution for these high-moisture areas.
The primary difference lies in their composition and performance. Ceramic tiles are generally lighter, less dense, and more porous than porcelain tiles. Porcelain is made with finer clay and fired at higher temperatures, resulting in superior durability, water resistance, and stain resistance. While porcelain tile tends to cost more, it offers enhanced longevity and is an excellent choice for areas exposed to heavy use or moisture.
Yes, tile flooring is exceptionally durable and a great option for high-traffic areas. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles resist scratches, dents, and wear, making them perfect for entryways, hallways, and busy kitchens. With proper care, tile flooring can maintain its appearance and functionality for decades, even in the most active parts of your home.
When it comes to walls, ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular choices. Ceramic tiles are lighter and often more affordable, making them ideal for decorative or less demanding applications. Porcelain tiles are more durable and water-resistant, perfect for areas like shower walls. Glass tiles can add a sleek, modern touch, while mosaic tiles provide endless opportunities for unique patterns and designs, allowing you to personalize your space with style.
Grout is the material used to fill the spaces between tiles, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. It secures the tiles in place while preventing dirt and moisture from seeping between them. The color of the grout can dramatically impact the overall look of your tile installation. A grout color that matches the tile creates a seamless, cohesive appearance, while a contrasting grout color highlights the tile’s shape and pattern, adding visual interest to the design.
