What you should know about tile flooring.
Tile has been used for thousands of years as a durable and attractive building material. Ceramic and porcelain tiles have become one of the most popular finishing materials for floors, countertops and walls. Tile can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, foyers, family rooms, dining rooms, and even bedrooms in warmer climates. Tile is an important design element suitable for practically any room and virtually every surface.
Sizes and Patterns
There are numerous sizes, colors and styles available to decorate your floors. You can be creative with your tile by having it installed in a diagonal pattern, or using a variety of sizes that can be installed together to create a beautiful pattern. You can transform a functional area into something special by adding a decorative edge to a countertop, staircase, floor or border.
Factories have developed a unique screen, texture and pattern to produce individual designs for each tile within a series. These processes are applied to create looks from textured slate to smooth marbles. Virtually any style, motif, or visual that you've ever dreamed of can be found in decorative tile. Embossed relief tiles are widely available that are beautiful and imaginative.

Color
Ceramic tiles are man-made products that are colored and sectioned into individual dye lots during manufacturing. There will be slight color variations between dye lots. Some ceramic tiles that are made to look like natural stone have variation intentionally.
