Tile products provide homeowners, designers and builders with an unmatched array of design possibilities. Tile is available in an infinite array of colors, textures and shapes to really inspire your inner decorator. With materials including glass, metal, ceramic, porcelain and natural stone, there is no limit to the creative potential presented.
Under almost all imaginable circumstances, tile will not burn, scratch, etch, melt or show wear patterns. Some products, including natural stone and cementious grout, do require some maintenance and consideration regarding highly caustic and acidic cleaners. By incorporating approved tile care products into your regular cleaning routines, the effects of wear and staining can be minimized. Compared with competitive products such as vinyl, wood, laminate or carpet, tile is simply unmatched in its ability to retain its beauty over time.
Choosing tile in your home décor is a simple choice you can make that can have a global impact. Tile contains no polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is found in sheet vinyl and many carpets. Many manufacturers are beginning to use recycled material in ceramic, glass and metal tile lines. And, unlike with hardwood, laminate and engineered wood, tile does not require the destruction of trees and forests.
The extended life of tile products greatly increases their value. Though the cost of tile installation can be equal to or somewhat higher than that of comparable products, reduced maintenance and repair costs make tile a better choice. Tile installations retain their stylistic appeal and physical condition much longer than other products. Because of this, tile has a much lower cost per square foot versus that of any other product over time.
