Types of Tile

The three main types of tiles are ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Each has its unique qualities that make them great for different home projects. Ceramic is made of natural clay that is fired in a kiln and often glazed to give it color and protection. It is light and versatile making a great choice for both floors and walls. Porcelain is like ceramic in that it is made from natural clay, but it is fired at a higher temperature making it more durable and stronger. Porcelain is great for high-traffic areas and some outdoor uses. Stone tile is exactly that – tile made from stone slabs. Because it is from natural stone each stone tile has a unique veining, texture, and coloring. These stones are great for high traffic and moisture-prone rooms both indoor and outdoor.
