The Different Types of Tile at Migala Carpet One

The most popular types of tile include stone, porcelain, and ceramic. Here’s a closer look at these tile options and their benefits.

Stone Tile

• Stone is a luxurious option for indoor and outdoor settings.
• Thanks to its natural composition, stone tile endures for a lifetime. Be sure to maintain and properly seal your stone tile to promote its longevity.
• Among our most popular stone products are those made from Slate, Granite, Marble, Travertine, and Limestone.

Ceramic Tile

• Ceramic is made up of natural materials like clay and is glazed or left natural before being kiln-fired.
• There are countless ceramic colors and patterns, making this one of the most popular tile options for kitchens and bathrooms.
• Ceramic products are often used for decorative wall arrangements and backsplashes, thanks to its lighter composition.

Porcelain Tile

• Porcelain is a denser ceramic version and is often used as floor tile.
• Since it’s fired at a much hotter setting, porcelain products tend to be sturdier.
• Porcelain tile can be used in a variety of areas, and style options are virtually limitless.

Benefits of Wood-Look Tile For Your MI Kitchen & Bath Tile

Hardwood’s visuals are always in high demand, but genuine hardwood can often present ongoing challenges with moisture and temperature changes. Below are some reasons why wood-look tile is the perfect flooring solution for your home’s Kitchen and bath.

• With wood-look tile, you won’t have to worry about potential moisture damages, seasonal climate shifts, or scuffs and scratches from heavy usage.
• Even engineered hardwood floors require regular maintenance. But with wood-look tile, simply mop and dry clean your tile and walk away.
• Unlike natural solid hardwood, wood-look tile is entirely waterproof with our waterproofing options.

Location:

• Outdoor Patios and walkways: Opt for durable, weather-resistant options.
