Traditional tile flooring is primarily ceramic or porcelain. Both vary in coloring, texture, shape and size. Tile flooring can be used throughout the entire home.

However, a sealer will also help keep grout lines cleaner. Depending on the type of tile flooring you wish to install, price will vary but in most cases, tile is very affordable.

Natural stone tile is highly desired for their beauty. You can find a wide selection of natural stone tile such as granite, marble, travertine, sandstone, limestone, flagstone, slate, and manufactured stone.
