Tile has been a traditional flooring choice for centuries, thanks to its durability and unique design options. Here are a few tips for choosing the best tile to enhance your interior space.

Which Type of Tile Is Best For Me?

When it comes to finding the best tile for your space, it’s best to consider the type of tile you will need first. To begin with, there are three main types: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Our state-of-the-art Bel Terra tile brand offers the pristine look and timeless feel of real wood, stone, and travertine flooring with the added benefit of durability and versatility.

Here’s a closer look at the three main types of tile and which works best for your space.

Ceramic

This tile comes in endless designs and styles! Its lightweight versatility makes it a top contender for walls and backsplashes. Made from recycled materials like clay and sand, this low-temperature, kiln-fired tile is budget-friendly. Bonus: helps insulate the home while reducing utility bills.

Porcelain

This tile is more durable than ceramic because it is heated at a higher temperature and made from denser clays. This makes it ideal for high-traffic kitchens, bathrooms, and some outdoor areas. It also comes in countless fashions which can be customized to your liking.

Stone

Last but not least, stone tiles are chosen for their timeless, natural style. Stone tile is carved from granite, marble, limestone, slate, and travertine. While stone can stand up to the weight of moderate foot traffic, it is not considered kid or pet-friendly due to its porous nature. However, if sealed and maintained properly, this tile can last for years.

Where Can I Install My Tile?

Are you a busy restaurant in need of a kitchen floor? You may prefer a commercial-grade porcelain tile, which is able to withstand heavy foot traffic, staining, and water. Are you looking to add an accent wall to your living space? Ceramic tile is an excellent choice, thanks to its lightweight make and versatile style.

Tile can be installed anywhere, from floors to walls, to fireplace surrounds!  We recommend considering the area in which you want to install your tile before choosing the style.

Porcelain tile can be installed in:

• Kitchens and Mudrooms
• Bathrooms, Tub Surrounds, Showers
• Laundry rooms and Basements
• Commercial areas like retail and restaurants
• Fireplace surrounds

Ceramic tile can be installed in:

• Walls
• Backsplashes
• Moderate foot-traffic spaces including hallways and living spaces

Say hello to beautiful flooring without the stress of maintenance! Our tile can provide your space with a streamlined stone or hardwood look. Add the aesthetic of real wood and stone to areas that are high in moisture or prone to spills and staining. We also provide a variety of grout colors, trim, and accent borders to complete any interior design.
