How to find the right tile flooring

Tile is a favored flooring material because it's durable and water-resistant as well as attractive. In addition, tile does not harbor dust or dirt, so it's both environmentally friendly and easy to clean. Tiles are made of ceramic and porcelain, a kind of ceramic. There's a large selection of each type of tile for every decorating style. You can find the tile flooring that is right for your home at Sharon and Son's Flooring & Cabinets, a tile store in Santa Ana, California.

Budget-friendly

If you're looking for a floor tile upgrade that won't break the bank, consider ceramic tile. It's composed of coarse clay that is hardened in a kiln. Tiles range in size from mosaic to large format. Standard sizes, such as 12-inch x 12-inch, are typical. Often, colors are neutral, and designs are simple. Ceramic tile is durable, but porcelain tile is superior. Porcelain is the most durable tile material available.

Top of the line

Porcelain is a hard and dense material that is made of fine kaolin clay. It's hardened in a kiln at a higher temperature than ceramic. Tiles are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. Porcelain tile that mimics hardwood and stone flooring is trendy. Unglazed, or through-body, porcelain is the same color throughout, while glazed, or color-body, porcelain has a pattern on the surface and a solid-colored body.
