Durable, easy to maintain, and water resistant,
tile flooring offers a number of
advantages for use in practically any room in your home and even outside. While the choices are nearly limitless, there are a few key things to consider.

Natural stone tiles:

Granite -its high density resists bacteria and moisture, which makes it ideal for kitchens, outdoors and high traffic areas.

Marble -not as tough as granite, it's best suited for bathrooms and lower traffic areas.

Limestone - this softer stone is decoratively versatile, but not recommended for high traffic areas.

Slate - Naturally slip resistant, it's hard and durable which helps make a good looking, long lasting floor for any room.

Ceramic, Glass and Metal:

These tiles are all versatile and can be used in a variety of rooms, although glass and metal are primarily recommended as accents.

Tile floors are heavy, so it's critical to make sure the sub-flooring is sturdy enough to support the weight. In addition, tile floors can also be chilly (not a bad thing in warm climates) and sometimes slippery.
