Best Types of Tile for Floors & Walls

Which tile flooring will you choose?

Tile can be made from varied materials, including mosaic glass, metal, and concrete, however, most of our tile products are crafted using porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone.

• Ceramic tiles are made from kiln-fired clays and come in striking, vivid colors.
• Porcelain tiles are made from a type of ceramic that’s fired at a higher setting. It tends to be the denser of the two.
• Stone tiles are made from materials like granite and marble: perfect both indoors and outdoors. Each tile is unique, since no two stones look or feel the same.

Where Can I Install Tile?

When it comes to tile, the only limits are within your imagination.

Tile can be installed on walls as well as floors, both indoors and outdoors. Are you struggling to clean the area behind the stovetop, or around your bathtub? Get vertical with tile.

A tile backsplash is not only easy to maintain, but it’s also colorful and fully customizable. Love hanging out on your outdoor patio? Tile makes for a stunning foundation: one that can weather all the seasons.  Do you prefer to mostly be indoors, in front of a cozy fireplace on a crisp fall night? A tile hearth might then call to you as your next installation project.  

• Ceramic tiles are wonderful for all-around indoor floors. It’s also a stunning option for accent walls.
• Waterproof tiles such as porcelain, fare well in moisture-prone settings like your bathroom and works well in commercial environments.
• Stone tiles are a classic option for the hearth, the entryway, or on an outdoor patio.

Can I Install My Own Tile Floor or Walls?

Most of the time, attempting to install your own tiles is an absolutely terrible idea! Here’s why:

To say tile installation is a tedious process is an understatement. You’ll need to begin with a spotless foundation: your subfloor. It needs to be perfectly cleaned, fully levelled, and free of dents and uneven surfaces.

From there, you’ll need to measure your space…and your flooring, too. Grading, grouting, and sealing are all complicated steps: jobs that can quickly go wrong if you don’t really know what you’re doing.

Don’t worry: our flooring installers are here to make your life a whole lot easier. Schedule a professional flooring installation and you won’t have to worry about grout on your shoes, running out of tile, or messy hands. Plus, your product warranty will cover damages in the future, no matter what tomorrow might bring!
