If you are exploring tile for your home or commercial space, here is everything you need to know before getting started.

How do you choose your ideal tile?

Tile comes in a huge range of materials, sizes, finishes, and styles. That is what makes it exciting, and sometimes overwhelming. The right tile depends on how you use the space, your design goals, and the level of durability you need.


Here are the most important factors to consider:


Tile material


Each material offers different benefits.

Ceramic tile

  • Budget-friendly and widely available
  • Easy to cut and install
  • Great for walls, backsplashes, and light-traffic floors
  • Ceramic tile is available in endless colors and patterns

Porcelain tile

  • Extremely dense and highly durable
  • Excellent moisture resistance
  • Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic areas
  • Porcelain tile works well indoors and outdoors

Natural stone tile (marble, slate, travertine, granite, and more)

  • One-of-a-kind natural beauty
  • Rich texture and character
  • Adds luxury and long-term value
  • Natural stone tile requires sealing and specialized care

If you want maximum durability, porcelain tile is often the top choice. If you want organic elegance, natural stone tile delivers unmatched visual impact.

Tile size and layout

Tile size affects both appearance and function.


  • Large-format tiles create a clean, modern look and make rooms feel bigger
  • Small tiles or mosaics add detail and slip resistance, perfect for showers and accent areas
  • Rectangular tiles can be installed in patterns like herringbone or staggered layouts
  • Geometric shapes add visual interest and design personality

Your layout can dramatically change the feel of a room. Sometimes the pattern matters just as much as the tile itself.

Color and shade

Tile color sets the tone of the entire space.


  • Light tones make rooms feel open and bright
  • Dark tones create depth and drama
  • Neutral shades offer timeless flexibility
  • Bold colors create statement design moments

We help you coordinate tile with cabinetry, countertops, paint colors, and lighting so everything feels intentional.

Finish and texture

The finish impacts both appearance and safety.


  • Glossy finishes reflect light and enhance color
  • Matte finishes provide subtle texture and slip resistance
  • Textured finishes add grip and natural character
  • Polished stone delivers a high-end, luxurious feel

If the area gets wet or sees heavy traffic, texture and traction matter more than shine.

What are the benefits of tiles?

Tile is one of the most practical surfaces you can install. It is built for real life and long-term performance.


  • Exceptional durability: Tile resists scratches, dents, and wear. It stands up to heavy foot traffic, pets, and daily activity without losing its appearance.
  • Water and moisture resistance: Porcelain and properly sealed tile handle moisture extremely well. That makes tile flooring perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways.
  • Long lifespan: Tile flooring can last decades when installed correctly. Many surfaces outlast multiple remodels.
  • Easy cleaning: Most tile flooring requires simple sweeping and mopping. There is no need for complicated maintenance routines.
  • Design flexibility: Tile can mimic wood, stone, concrete, or fabric textures. It can also create completely custom designs with patterns and layouts.
  • Allergy-friendly surface: Tile does not trap dust, pollen, or pet dander. It is a great choice for healthier indoor air.
  • Heat resistance: Tile performs well in areas exposed to heat, including near fireplaces or in kitchens. It also works beautifully with radiant floor heating systems.

Where can tile be installed in your home or business?

One of tile’s greatest strengths is its versatility. It works in more places than almost any other surface.


  • Flooring: Tile flooring is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, hallways, entryways, and commercial spaces. Tile flooring handles moisture, traffic, and daily wear better than many other materials.
  • Backsplashes: Tile backsplashes protect walls while adding personality and style. Backsplash tiles are easy to clean and allow for bold design choices.
  • Showers and bathrooms: Tile is the gold standard for wet environments. It can cover floors, walls, and custom shower features with seamless beauty.
  • Fireplaces and feature walls: Tile creates dramatic focal points with texture, pattern, or natural stone character.
  • Outdoor spaces: Certain porcelain and stone tiles work beautifully for patios, walkways, and exterior living areas.

Wherever you want durability and visual impact, tile delivers.

How do you care for and maintain tile?

Tile is low maintenance, but proper care keeps it looking its best for years.


Routine cleaning


  • Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit
  • Mop with a mild cleaner when needed
  • Avoid harsh chemicals unless recommended for the material

Grout maintenance


Grout may require periodic sealing to resist stains and moisture. Keeping grout sealed helps preserve both appearance and performance.


Natural stone protection


Natural stone tiles should be sealed according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This protects against staining and moisture penetration.


Preventative care


  • Use mats at entrances to reduce dirt
  • Clean spills promptly
  • Avoid dragging heavy objects across tile

With basic care, tile remains beautiful for decades.
