FLOOR TILES

• Material: Common materials include ceramic, porcelain, natural stone (such as marble, granite, travertine), and vinyl.
• Finish: Options include matte, glossy, textured, polished, and honed finishes.
• Thickness: Typically ranges from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch, with thicker tiles being more durable but heavier and potentially more challenging to install.
• Water Absorption Rate: Particularly important for areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Tiles are classified as non-vitreous, semi-vitreous, vitreous, or impervious based on their absorption rate.
• Durability: Porcelain tiles are known for their durability and resistance to scratches, stains, and moisture, making them suitable for high-traffic areas.
• Slip Resistance: Especially important for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, textured or matte finishes provide better traction.
• Stain Resistance: Certain tiles, particularly porcelain, have a lower porosity, making them more resistant to stains and easier to clean.
• Heat Resistance: Some tiles, like porcelain, can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for areas around fireplaces or outdoor spaces.

• Indoor Flooring: Used in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways to create a durable, easy-to-clean surface.
• Outdoor Flooring: Porcelain and natural stone tiles are popular choices for patios, pool decks, and pathways due to their durability and resistance to weathering.
• Commercial Spaces: Large-format tiles are often used in commercial settings such as offices, retail stores, and restaurants for their modern aesthetic and ease of maintenance.
• Decorative Purposes: Small mosaic tiles can be used to create intricate patterns and designs on floors, adding visual interest to any space.
