Your destination for stylish and durable tile flooring

What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?

Ceramic tile is made from natural clay and fired at high temperatures. It's durable, affordable, and available in a wide variety of colors and designs, making ceramic tile ideal for many interior floors and walls.

Porcelain tile is denser and less porous because it's fired at even higher temperatures. It's especially well-suited for high-traffic areas, bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and many commercial applications where extra durability is important.

Our flooring specialists can help you determine which option best fits your project.

The finish you choose affects both appearance and performance.

• Glazed tile features a protective coating that enhances color while helping resist stains and moisture. It's available in matte, satin, and glossy finishes and is a popular choice for most residential applications.
• Unglazed tile has a more natural appearance with color running throughout the tile. Its textured surface often provides additional traction, making it a smart option for certain indoor and outdoor applications.

Tile offers nearly unlimited design flexibility.

Large-format tiles create a clean, modern appearance with fewer grout lines, helping rooms feel larger. Smaller tiles and mosaics work beautifully on shower floors, backsplashes, decorative accents, and custom patterns.

Beyond traditional squares, today's tile comes in a variety of shapes, including:

• Rectangle and subway tile
• Hexagon
• Chevron
• Penny round
• Arabesque
• Wood-look planks

Mixing shapes and layouts adds personality and visual interest to your space.

From soft neutrals to bold statement colors, tile allows you to create almost any look. Many collections also replicate natural materials like hardwood, marble, slate, and concrete, giving you the appearance you love with the durability of tile.

One of tile's biggest advantages is its versatility. It performs well in moisture-prone areas while adding beauty throughout the home.

Tile can be installed in:

• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Laundry rooms
• Mudrooms
• Entryways
• Hallways
• Living areas
• Shower walls and floors
• Fireplace surrounds
• Kitchen backsplashes
• Accent walls
• Commercial spaces

Whether you're covering an entire floor or creating a decorative focal point, tile offers lasting style and performance.

Tile is one of the easiest flooring materials to maintain. To keep it looking its best:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly.
• Damp mop using a manufacturer-approved cleaner.
• Wipe up spills promptly.
• Clean grout periodically.
• Place mats at exterior doors to reduce dirt.
• Use furniture pads to protect the surface.

With simple routine maintenance, tile can retain its beauty for many years.
