Advantages of a Tile Floor

Long-lasting:

Due to the dense material composition, wall and floor tile is incredibly durable. It naturally is stain resistant and water resistant, difficult to scratch, impervious to spills, is burn proof, and rarely chips or cracks. Porcelain tile can easily last over 50 years with other varieties able to last just as long when properly sealed and maintained.

Low maintenance:

A quick routine cleaning using a soft-bristled broom or vacuum to tidy dirt, dust, and sand will prevent potential abrasion issues while the occasional mop is all that’s needed to remove fine particles of dust or debris to help prevent dullness and discoloration.

Endless design options:

Due to the extensive array of layout patterns, images, shapes, sizes, styles, cut options, and grout colors there are limitless possibilities for design variation. From turn of the century classic bathroom tile to modern kitchen tile themes, this product is incredibly creative and versatile.

A healthy choice:

Whether it be dust, pet dander, or pollen allergens do not get trapped like carpet. Additionally, the natural characteristics of tile create mold and bacteria resistance resulting in excellent indoor air quality. There are no toxic materials and as discussed above it is easy to sanitize making it an exceptionally healthy option.

Disadvantages of tile:

With all of the upsides of floor tiling there are a few downsides that should be discussed. It is cold and hard underfoot. However, many newer homes are using radiant heating to alleviate this drawback.
It can also be tricky to install. Waterproofing and preparing the surface properly are essential to prevent issues later on. Unglazed tile and grout need to be sealed to prevent discoloration and damage. And tile setting is a stressful, time-sensitive undertaking. This disadvantage can be overcome with expert tile installers that will transform your living space for generations.

Types of Tile

Porcelain Tile:

Porcelain is the most popular floor in the country for good reasons. It is made from finer, more refined clay than ceramic and treated with higher heat making it denser, harder, and less porous than other options. These properties make it ideal for high traffic areas and bathrooms, showers, and kitchen backsplashes.

Ceramic Tile:

Ceramic is very popular as well. It is also made from refined clay and treated at high heat, but not as high as porcelain. Ceramic is still very hard, but is easier to work with. It is most suitable for bathroom floors, shower walls, and lightly trafficked areas.

Terrazo Tile:

Terrazzo is a composite material that can contain glass, quartz, granite, or marble that is polished after epoxy or cement binding is combined. Terrazzo can last over 75 years making it a common commercial tile flooring.

Natural Stone Tile:

This is a quarried material such as marble, travertine, slate, limestone, and granite. Each piece is unique due to natural variations but it must be sealed regularly to prevent staining.

Glass Tile:

Glass tile comes in an array of colors, shapes (like mosaic and picket), and finishes (glossy, matte, and translucent). This makes a beautiful attraction in the wall, but must be installed with specific materials and techniques in order to have correct adhesion properties and to avoid damaging the glass.

Tile Sizes

Mosaic Tile:

Mosaic is usually held on a mesh sheet that is 9” or less. Shower floors are often a perfect example of its application.

Subway Tiles:

Subway tiles have become increasingly popular, they have traditionally been used for backsplashes, but are now common for tiled bathroom walls and kitchens.

Square Tiles:

From 6”x6” to 24”x24”, square tile offers a clean minimalist design and are often used for a retro look or with a checkerboard pattern.

Rectangular Tiles:

Rectangular are often used for a more modern look. They can be manipulated horizontally to make the room feel larger and vertically to make ceilings appear higher.

Large Format Tiles:

Large tiles are ideal for creating less grout lines. However, counter-intuitively they are more difficult to set in mortar making it advantageous to use professional tile floor installers.
