One of the main things homeowners look for in a floor covering is durability, and you certainly have that with ceramic & porcelain tile. Made of natural resources, this is one floor covering that can certainly manage to go the distance. While both are durable enough for most homes, porcelain is strong enough to stand up to the heaviest of traffic. It’s also more resistant to water, humidity and moisture.

Since porcelain fired at extremely high temperatures, it’s very dense and hard. What’s more, it has a through-body color scheme that doesn't change throughout the tile. Because of this, if it should happen to become chipped, cracked or broken, it’s less likely to show. This is great news for homes where children and pets can really dish out some wear and tear.

Ceramic tile can be a designer’s dream come true. Covered with brightly colored glazes, they are often used to create mosaics, patterns and other designs that are entirely unique to the designer, for the home it is being used in. Additionally, since tiles can be cut to any shape you can imagine, the sky is literally the limit when it comes to design and style capability. If you're looking for a truly unique flooring, you can find it in ceramic & porcelain tile.
