Tile Flooring - a significant advantage
It doesn’t matter what your requirements are; there are significant advantages to tile flooring. The first being that they last for fifty years or more when you properly maintain them and care for them. Stunning looks and the same durability as the tiles that archeologists find in Italy and Greece. This is an excellent choice for any home, and it’s well worth a look.
With an impeccable look and a matching décor, your tile floor can give you what you want the most. You can take advantage of entirely individualized mosaics just for you. Or you can choose from natural, glazed products. The designs and patterns, and solid colors are entirely up to you. The tile can be cut as small as you want it, even to the size of a postage stamp. Your imagination is the limit!

The tile itself
To the untrained eye, porcelain and ceramic appear to be the same. They are indeed similar in appearance, but there are differences. It's important to talk to our staff about the differences and decide what matches your preferences and needs.
Porcelain comes from high-quality clay that is fired in hot kilns. This produces the density and hardness in the material that is durable and won’t crack. The clay is then glazed with a clear coat, letting its beauty and patterns shine through the glaze.
Ceramic tiles come from the same clay, but there are additional materials added to them. The material gets dense and durable once it goes through the fire. However, there is no through body color. It is then glazed in liquid glass, allowing you to create any appearance you want.

Maintenance
Easy clean-up is another attractive feature of tile. Tomato sauce, mud, or wine can all spill on this surface and be wiped up with no fuss. The color and pattern of the tile are not threatened. You will be hard-pressed to find anything that will dissolve the grout or tile. Scuffs, stains, and other floor threats don’t hurt tile. It is also resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria, making it suitable for countertops and backsplashes.
