Also, remember that the cost of tile floors varies according to the chosen material, the size of the tiles, and the complexity of the design you select.

Bathroom Tile Floors

For good reasons, most people think of bathrooms when they think of tile floors. Not only is the inherent water resistance of a properly grouted tile floor appealing for any room with high quantities of moisture, but bathrooms can benefit from having matched or coordinated tiling on the walls as well to protect the walls from the moisture that comes with daily use of hot water.

This is another opportunity to get creative with the tile option, the walls halfway up or fully tile shower walls. Ensure that the tiling you choose for wet floors isn’t too slippery!

What Kinds of Tile Are There?

Many customers come to us uncertain what options are available. We hope the short list below will help you to narrow down and understand your options, so that when you come in and see our selection in person, our experts who how best to help you find the perfect product.

Ceramic

Ceramic tile is often considered one of the best options for many applications. We are used to seeing ceramic tiles in shower stalls, but they are a popular choice for flooring as well. They can, however, be very slippery when wet, so paying attention to aspects such as size, shape, and texture is important when determining the best fit for your use case.

Porcelain

Porcelain has a lot in common with Ceramic tiles, as both are made from fired clay. Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature, making it harder and stronger than most ceramics. This can be a major advantage if you expect heavy wear, appliances, or other challenging conditions for your floor.

Many choose porcelain for its beauty, and for it’s seamless uniform coloring, which means chipping doesn’t result in unsightly color changes. It’s a difficult material to work with, so trust Quality Floor Finishers to install your porcelain tile floor for you.

Stone

Looking for something a little more unique? Stone tiles fit the bill with the texturing, colors, and patterns unique to natural stone. Unlike the two previous tile types, when the right stone tile is used and sealed correctly, stone tiles won’t be overly slick under your feet, even when wet.

Some of the most common stone types in bathrooms are marble, travertine, slate, granite, and limestone. Because it’s a natural substance, the range of available colors is also more limited, and the tiles themselves tend to cost more. The advantage of stone is in its natural beauty and appeal, not in its practicality and ease of use. Beautiful stone tiles will give a unique personality to any Kitchen or bathroom.
