Commercial Tile Flooring

​There are various tile flooring options, which, due to technological advances, can be adjusted, customized, and tailored to meet your functional needs and fulfill design aspirations. These options have their own unique features that make them perfect for various settings.

Ceramic and porcelain tiles, while similar, do differ in several ways. Ceramic tile, the cheaper of the two is composed of natural clay and baked at a high temperature. Because ceramic is the more absorbent material of the two, using it as outside flooring is discouraged. Spilled water or rain temporarily discolors the tile until it dries out again. This does not undermine the value and functionality of this material, however it is best suited for areas where water is not likely to come in contact with the floor for aesthetic purposes.

Porcelain tile is constructed from denser clay and finely ground sand and baked at an even higher temperature than ceramic tile. It is also fired for a longer period of time drawing moisture out of the material and making extremely durable. Porcelain, a water resistant material, can be used outside without concern for discoloration. Porcelain is also a better choice for high traffic areas. Any possible chipping of the material is barely noticeable since the coloring is the same through and through. Both materials are easy to clean, scratch resistant, stain resistant, and temperature tolerant.

Tile has always been a popular option for flooring because of its durability, its simplicity, its practicality, and its versatility; however over time, other options of flooring have been coming to the fore giving tile the impetus to evolve with more to offer. Tile has made leaps and bounds in the way of developing to meet the needs of interior designers. There are now forms of tile that mimic the texture and pattern of stone and expensive marbles. This means affordable elegance and luxury for those on a budget.
