Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be also installed on your walls, but wall tile is usually thinner than floor tile. Wall tile is thinner because strength and durability against foot traffic is not an issue. For most kitchen and bathroom settings, ceramic is appropriate given its design versatility. In fact, stylish mosaic tile is often preferred for beautiful designs. However, for areas such as showers, porcelain tile that absorbs less than 0.5% moisture is a better option since it is more water and heat resistant.

Ceramic TileCeramic tile is a great choice for residential kitchens and bathrooms. We recommend ceramic tile for indoor use given its design versatility. There are multiple sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns from which to choose, so no design is impossible! Plus, ceramic tile resists water and heat, and it remains strong enough to support moderate foot traffic. Not only that, but ceramic tile can be installed on your walls as a backsplash. So, if you want to add style to a kitchen or bathroom, ceramic tile is a great option.

Porcelain TileFor outdoor and commercial settings, porcelain tile is more appropriate. Porcelain is more durable than ceramic, since it is totally water and heat resistant. It can handle anything from heavy foot traffic to changing weather conditions, and it will rarely crack. Since porcelain is typically installed in areas with a lot of moisture, they feature a slip resistant surface for your protection and peace of mind.

Stone TileWe also offer high-end stone tile options as part of our tile collection. Stone tiles are quarried and come in slabs. Since no slab is quarried from the same location, each stone tile features a pattern that is unique. Stone flooring is long lasting and beautiful, but can become expensive depending on the size of the area you plan on covering.
