‘There’s A Tile For That’
Tile reflects personality and style. Colors, shapes, patterns and textures allow creativity to shine. Generate a “wow” response with the right choice.
You love your home and the thought of moving just to upgrade the kitchen or bathrooms is staggering. You can create a new home within existing walls. Tile is the designer’s choice today and the wave of the future.
Whether building a new home or remodeling, tile fits. It provides a fresh, inviting climate in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, entryways and throughout the house. It’s versatile, rugged and stylish.
Porcelain Tile A Well-known Choice
The two most popular materials – ceramic tile and porcelain tile – offer hundreds of choices, options and combinations. Everyone asks:
- What’s the best bathroom tile?
- What should I use for a kitchen backsplash?
- Does all tile work both as floor tile and wall tile?
Porcelain tile is extremely popular. It is stronger, more water-resistant and shinier than basic ceramic tile. Hard and dense, it stands up to abuse. Porcelain is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, mud rooms, laundry rooms and entryways. Use it on walls and floors.
There are advantages:
- Resistance to moisture – denser and less porous than ceramics, porcelains are very resistant to spills.
- Stain resistant – porcelain creations deflect stains. Staining liquids don’t easily seep into pores. Resistant to juice, tea and coffee stains, these are excellent choices for a new kitchen floor. Pet and kid accidents clean up fast along with mud and tracked in debris.
- Durable, rugged – porcelain stands up to traffic. You’ll find it in high-end commercial situations because it withstands punishment from foot traffic and heavy furniture.
- Long-lived – with proper care few flooring materials outlive porcelain tile floor.
- Low maintenance – a simple washing to clean the surface and the grout keeps floors looking great.
Porcelain isn’t perfect. The two most common disadvantages are:
- Weight – the tiles are dense, strong and heavy. Tiling a large area means adding a lot of weight – more than a hardwood floor. Weight is even more important when planning for wall tile.
- Grout – the tile itself is easy to maintain but grout demands attention. Grout keeps moisture from seeping between tiles. Over time dirt and grime attach to grout. It must be scrubbed. We’ll help you learn more about grout.
Ceramic Tile – Another Popular Option
The other most common choice, ceramic tile, is less dense, softer and more porous. Anywhere there’s a risk of spills moisture is a threat. Ceramics are best used away from showers, mud rooms and laundry rooms.
Ceramic tile has advantages:
- Design options – because dyes are added to ceramics as they are created you can get them in almost any color and complex patterns.
- Sizes and shapes – mixing the many size and shape alternatives creates unique one-of-a-kind looks.
- Less weight – less dense, these tiles don’t add as much weight so they’re better suited for walls and kitchen backsplashes.
- Allergy-friendly – if your family deals with allergies, ceramic is a wise choice. Pet hair, dust and minute particles don’t stick to it like carpet or wood.
Ceramic tile has the same concerns for keeping grout clean. It requires sealing. In addition, less dense and more porous, ceramic is not as water resistant.
What our clients are saying:
Decorative Tile Goes ‘High-tech’
Among the fastest growing advances in tile technology is the use of thin porcelain tiles (TPT). Much thinner than traditional tile they have several advantages. One for sure gets attention: you can install them right over existing flooring. And, thin tiles come in larger sizes for unique applications on walls as well as floors. They’re water-resistant so they’re great as bathroom tile. There’s even a soft-glaze version that can turn a wall into a chalkboard. Handy for keeping the family connected or just fun for the kids, right?
The highest of the high-tech applications is using sophisticated inkjet printers to apply brilliant colors and intricate patterns to tile. You can have tile with a textured look of fabric, wood or metal. Are you ready to for a Bucky Badger or Packer themed bathroom?
There’s a trend toward using salvaged materials for a natural, weathered look or industrial vibe. Modern tile designs allow you to have a “reclaimed barn wood” backsplash, an “old brick” wall or a burnished metal shower. All made from custom-designed tiles.
For a bathroom all you once worried about was: is it easy to clean and does it repel water. Now you have many color, style or design options.
Tile in the bathroom has jumped into the 21st century in a big way. Without giving up any function tile makes a statement. Your lifestyle shines in a new bathroom!
Tile-makers are focusing on finishes, colors, shapes and patterns. Basic squares and rectangles haven’t gone away. But now, they have plenty of company.
Today you have tile for walls, floors, showers and every nook and niche. You can create with any size from board-like tile planks to penny-size mosaic tile. Consider the number of custom finishes alone:
- The soft matte finish
- A traditional glossy shine
- Custom textures on the surfaces
- Metallic finishes and even mirrors
- Graphic patterns to set the mood

A Special Touch – Under-floor Heating
If you want to add a special touch for chilly early morning starts, consider installing under-floor heating in your bathroom. The latest technology provides even heat throughout the room, thermostatic controls and timers to warm the floor a few minutes before your alarm goes off. Nothing is better suited to perfect, uniform in-floor heating than modern floor tiles.
Universal Design, Aging In Place and other buzz words are applied to making your home user-friendly as you get older. It’s remodeling for all ages. The strategic use of tile is perfect for a universal design. Especially in bathrooms. The right tile not only makes the room appealing, it makes it safer and more practical.
The focus in the bathroom usually begins with the shower. Unless you’re looking to install a walk-in bathtub, a traditional tub is far less versatile and not nearly as safe as a large shower. Especially a large easy-access walk-in shower.
When you combine water with potentially slippery surfaces you have the formula for a fall. NOTE: Government and insurance industry statistics show the shower is the most likely place anyone, no matter their age, will fall at home. Making it easier for everyone makes sense, right?
Modern floor tiles offer non-slip textures. Designs provide for lip-less shower entry to accommodate a wheel chair. With slightly angled flooring and special edge drain systems these showers are easy and safe to access with or without a wheelchair.
Today’s spa-like master bathrooms are well suited to aging place. If you’re adding or remodeling a bathroom consider including features you will enjoy for decades. Consider built-in seating, convenient easy-to-reach shower niches and easy-access fixtures.
