Ceramic Floor Tile

Ceramic tile has been around for centuries and with today's technology, manufacturers have created new design and application possibilities that were not available a couple of decades ago. If you have never used ceramic tile before or it has been a long time since you have done so, you will be amazed at the wide selection of colors, sizes, shapes and new textures that are now available. Grout is used to fill the gaps between the tiles after installation.

Porcelain Floor Tile

Porcelain is made from clay that is whitish-grey in color and is higher quality than its ceramic cousin that is made from red or brown clay. Porcelain floor tile is similar to ceramic floor tile in selection and size. Porcelain offers a much higher strength rating that translates to fewer cracks and wear over time. Considering, labor usually costs more than the material; the upgrade to Porcelain is a no-brainer when used for flooring. Grout is used to fill the gaps between the tiles after installation.

Limestone and Vinyl composite Floor Tile

The latest in technology in floor covering offers a vast array of ceramic and porcelain look-a-likes along with wood looks. These tiles have the dent and cleaning attributes of ceramic, along with the crack resistance of porcelain. Because of the exactness of manufacturing, many of these composites can be installed with grout or butted directly together without grout. Another advantage is not having to have a thick, rigid base to install upon such as mortarboard or poured concrete. With ceramic and porcelain, the height of a rigid base plus the tile can create a 1-1/2” nightmare at transition doorways, where as the composites can be installed over a 1/8” underlayment, trimming the transitional height to a very manageable 5/8”.
