Explore Our Tile Options

Tile offers a way to make a space feel polished and personalized — the versatile designs are a popular choice for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom countertops, fireplace surrounds and floors. Discover products that meet your style and durability preferences.

Porcelain

Porcelain consists of clay and other materials fired in a kiln at high temperatures. The dense and hard tiles offer resistance to wear and tear, scratches, chips, moisture and fading. The glossy surfaces make an ideal choice for tile flooring because they're easy to clean and maintain over time.

Ceramic

Ceramic tiles consist of various types of clay, sand, water and inorganic materials. The material is formed into its desired shape while it's still wet, and after it's dry, it is fired in a high-temperature kiln to harden it into a durable surface. An added glaze can create an impervious seal to help resist water and stains. Ceramic maintains consistency in environments with high or freezing temperatures and helps prevent the growth of bacteria.

Wall Tile

Wall tiles feature thin, lightweight designs that are suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces. The products come in many different materials with smooth to rugged textures. Some surfaces feature highly realistic and detailed graphics, allowing you to achieve the look you want in a cost-effective way.

Mosaic

Mosaic tiles provide an artistic, eye-catching appearance. The materials may include porcelain, ceramic, stone, glass or metal in various shapes and sizes. You can arrange the tiles however you'd like to create a custom, one-of-a-kind pattern that impacts the overall look of a room.

Stone

Stone tiles come in many varieties, including marble and limestone. Each natural material offers its own unique color, veining and texture. They can boost your property value because they're visually pleasing, highly durable and easy to clean.

Tile FAQs

We answer some of the most commonly asked questions about tile flooring solutions from Carpet & Tile Mart below.

Is Tile Flooring Good for Pets?

Yes, tile is a good choice of flooring for homes with pets. It's durable, easy to clean and resistant to water and scratches. However, slippery tiles can be tricky for paws, so opt for tiles with a matte, textured or high-grip finish instead of smooth, glossy styles.

How Long Do Tile Floors Last?

Tile floors can last for several decades, depending on the quality of materials, proper installation and ongoing maintenance. Ceramic tiles have an average lifespan of 20 to 30 years, while porcelain tiles can last for up to 50 years or more with proper care. Natural stone tiles can last from 50 to over 100 years but require more maintenance.

How Should You Clean Tile Floors?

Remove loose debris by sweeping or vacuuming, and then mop with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Be sure to rinse the floor with clean water to prevent streaks and water spots.

Is Tile Waterproof?

No, tile is not waterproof. It is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light splashes of water, but water can still seep through the grout and adhesive. Sealants help slow down water absorption but must be reapplied periodically.

Where Are the Best Places to Install Tile Floors?

Tile floors are most suitable for high-traffic or high-moisture areas, such as kitchens, bathrooms, entryways and laundry rooms. The durability and water-resistance of tile floors are suitable for the wear and tear of these rooms.

What Is the Easiest Color Grout to Keep Clean?

The easiest grout colors to keep clean are beiges, tans and medium grays. They are effective in hiding dirt and dust, while the neutral tones easily complement home interiors. Dark grays and browns are also low-maintenance options. However, some dark colors can show water stains and mineral deposits over time.

Is It Better to Have Light or Dark Grout?

Neither choice is "better." The right grout color is one that meets your priorities, whether for aesthetics or maintenance.

Light grout helps make a space feel more airy and spacious, but stains, dirt and spills are more prominent. It requires frequent cleaning and can appear yellow over time. Dark grout is excellent for hiding stains and dirt, so it is a practical choice for high-traffic areas.

What’s the Difference Between Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles?

Porcelain tiles are made from denser, fine-grained clay that is fired at higher temperatures. They are harder and less porous, with very low water absorption, so they are ideal for high-traffic areas and outdoor use.

Ceramic tiles are made from a coarser clay and are fired at slightly lower temperatures. They're lighter than porcelain, less expensive and easier to cut. Ceramic tiles are softer and more porous, and are best used as wall tiles, backsplashes and floors in low-to-moderate-traffic areas. Carpet & Tile Mart has a selection of porcelain and ceramic tiles from several quality brands, including the renowned tile manufacturer DalTile.

What Is the Most Durable Floor Tile?

Porcelain is considered the most durable and longest-lasting floor tile due to its dense construction. It offers superior resistance to water, stains and scratches, so it is a top choice for high-traffic and high-moisture areas. While not as durable as porcelain, other dependable options include concrete, granite, travertine and limestone tiles.

What Kind of Tile Floors Can Be Used Outside?

Tiles that are suitable for outdoor use include porcelain, concrete, quarry and natural stone options. Porcelain tiles offer great durability and weather resistance. Quarry tiles have excellent slip resistance, while the strength of concrete tiles is great for walkways, patios and pool areas.
