Types of Tile 

Selecting a tile for your upcoming project can get overwhelming at times, since there are so many products to choose from. It’s important to understand the fundamental differences between tile materials, since some are better suited for various situations. 

While the world of tile is constantly evolving, here are the three types of tile you’ll encounter most frequently:

• Ceramic Tile:  Fashioned from organic clays, porcelain tile is then fired in the kiln, resulting in a tile that is especially sturdy. Ceramic works well both indoors and outdoors. 

• Porcelain Tile: A type of ceramic tile, porcelain is kiln-fired at a higher heat for a tile that’s denser. With its natural water-resistance and ability to prevent slips and falls, porcelain works well as bathroom flooring. 

• Stone Tile: Made by Mother Nature, stone tile is well-suited for your outdoor entertaining areas, but it’s also great indoors. Crafted out of granite, marble, slate, and other organic substances, stone tile is a favorite for hearths and entryways.
