Stone and tile flooring types
Glazed ceramic
Glazed Ceramic Tile offers excellent value. It is typically lower in cost compared to porcelain tile with similar texture/patterns. It wears well over time on interior floors and has a low rate of water absorption, so it is suitable for interior floors and walls.
Porcelain
Porcelain Tile is considerably denser than ceramic and is more impervious to liquids and is considered frost-proof so porcelain is suitable for exterior use in all climates. Porcelain Tile has a higher breaking strength than most ceramic tiles and is 30% harder than natural stone (like granite and marble).

Care & maintenance of tile & stone
Tile whether it is ceramic, porcelain, or stone, is one of the longest-lasting flooring materials in existence. But it still needs a bit of care. Basic, consistent maintenance of your tile or stone floor will ensure that it remains beautiful and trouble-free for many years. Please be sure to reference your tile floor warranty for specific care requirements! For your general information, however, here are some basic tips and facts.
- As needed, sweep your floor to remove dirt and grit.
- Wipe spills promptly.
- Damp mop once a week (or more often for heavy traffic areas) using a special cleaner we can recommend, just ask your sales associate for guidance.
- Make sure the cleanser you use is a neutral pH compatible with grout cleaning. Never use detergent or soap, which can dull the surface or promote mildew growth. Cleaners should never contain acids, vinegar, chlorines, or ammonia, as these chemicals can damage and discolor both the grout and the stone or tile.
- Use protective mats in entryways and pads under furniture legs.
- Make sure you wait the proper time for grout to cure before you apply a sealer.
