While tile continues to change in style and design, the three most popular types of tiles haven’t changed much over the years. Here's a brief overview of these tile types below.
Ceramic Tile Flooring
Ceramic tile is constructed with clay and heated to solidify the material. It is incredibly sturdy, stylish, and trendy, and is recommended for moderate-traffic areas, accent walls, and backsplashes.
Porcelain Tile Flooring
Porcelain tile is made of the same materials but heated to higher temperatures and is more durable than ceramic. Porcelain is also waterproof rather than water-resistant and can be used for outdoor applications. Areas where porcelain is recommended are custom showers, outdoor patios, and flooring in high-traffic areas like mudrooms.
Stone Tile Flooring
Stone tile is a natural material quarried from the Earth. The material comes from rocks like granite, marble, and slate, and no two stone tiles are alike. Stone tiles can be installed in bathrooms, and kitchens, and are ideal for backsplashes and accent walls.
Tile is a versatile and durable material that offers numerous benefits for various applications in both residential and commercial settings. Here are some key advantages of using tile:
Tile backsplashes are an excellent way to add style and personality to kitchens and bathrooms. Here are some popular tile backsplash trends:
Subway Tile
Subway tile remains a timeless choice for backsplashes. Its classic rectangular shape and clean lines complement a variety of design styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Mosaic Patterns
Mosaic tiles allow for creative expression with intricate patterns and designs. Whether made from glass, ceramic, or natural stone, mosaic backsplashes add visual interest and texture to any space.
Oversized tiles, such as 12x24 inches or larger, are increasingly popular for backsplashes. These large-format tiles create a sleek and modern look with fewer grout lines, making the space feel more expansive.
Handcrafted Tiles
Handcrafted or artisanal tiles add a unique and personalized touch to backsplashes. These tiles often feature irregular shapes, textures, and glazes, creating a one-of-a-kind focal point in the room.
Metallic Finishes
Metallic tiles, such as stainless steel or copper, can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to backsplashes. These reflective surfaces catch the light and create visual interest, especially in contemporary kitchens.
Marble and Natural Stone
Marble and natural stone tiles lend a timeless elegance to backsplashes. Whether in marble or granite, these natural materials add warmth and character to the space.
Tile can be installed as flooring, backsplashes, shower floors, and walls, as well as on accent walls. We'll work with you and make sure your unique design comes to life from beginning to end, whether it's a contemporary, traditional, or minimalist look.
