Types of Tile Flooring

Choosing the right tile starts with understanding how different materials look and perform. Flooring Interiors offers tile options for various residential spaces, styles, and project needs.

• Ceramic Tile: A versatile choice available in many colors, patterns, shapes, and finishes. Ceramic tile is commonly used for flooring, backsplashes, walls, and other interior applications.
• Porcelain Tile: Made with a dense construction that provides excellent durability and moisture resistance. Porcelain is a practical choice for busy floors, bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and other areas exposed to regular activity.
• Stone-Look Tile: Get the character of marble, slate, travertine, and other natural materials with tile designed to recreate their distinctive colors and patterns.
• Wood-Look Tile: Combines the appearance of hardwood planks with the performance and easy care of tile, making it an alternative for spaces where traditional hardwood may not be the preferred choice.
• Decorative Tile: Patterns, mosaics, geometric shapes, and distinctive finishes can add visual interest to backsplashes, showers, accent walls, and other design features.

Where Can Tile Be Installed?

One of the advantages of tile is its versatility. Depending on the product, tile can be used on floors and walls throughout your home, allowing you to coordinate practical surfaces with your interior design.

Popular tile applications include:

• Kitchens: Tile flooring stands up well to everyday activity, while backsplash tile can protect walls and add color, pattern, or texture.
• Bathrooms: Moisture-resistant tile is a natural fit for bathroom floors, shower surrounds, shower walls, and other wet-area applications when properly selected and installed.
• Entryways and Mudrooms: Durable tile can handle the regular foot traffic, dirt, and moisture that often come through entrances.
• Laundry Rooms: Tile provides an easy-to-clean surface for a hardworking part of the home.
• Backsplashes and Accent Walls: Decorative tile can create a focal point or coordinate with countertops, cabinets, and surrounding finishes.

Tile Styles and Designs for Your Space

Tile gives you the flexibility to keep a room simple and understated or create a more distinctive design. Size, shape, grout color, layout, texture, and finish can all influence the final appearance.

For a timeless look, consider neutral stone visuals, classic subway tile, or simple ceramic designs. Wood-look planks can add warmth and natural character, while marble-inspired porcelain can create a more refined appearance without the need for natural marble. Larger-format tiles can reduce the number of visible grout lines and create a streamlined look, while mosaics and patterned tiles work well when you want to highlight a backsplash, shower, or accent area.

Our Columbia showroom allows you to compare tile samples alongside other finishes and see how different combinations may work within your space.
