There are five elements to consider when purchasing your ideal ceramic tile floor: Size, shape, color, texture and pattern.

Typically, larger tiles can make a room appear smaller, and the opposite is true for smaller tiles. Darker colors will also give the appearance of a smaller space, while lighter colors can open up an entire room.

Ceramic tile comes in a wide variety of patterns and shapes. From rectangular to hexagonal with separate corner inserts, you can create any look that you desire

CERAMIC

The Look

At about one third the cost or natural stone ceramic tile can provide a similar look. Large tiles (18 by 18's and 12 by 12's) are more popular than smaller ones. In addition to smooth glazed tiles, there are ones that simulate stone. A variety of grout colors also provides different looks

The Strength

In kitchens and baths, ceramic is more practical than stone because advances in fired-on finishes have made ceramic impenetrable. While chipping may sometimes occur, the grout makes tile more forgiving of wear and tear than stone.

The Feel

Ceramic tile always provides a hard surface.

The Clean up

Damp mopping is best. (Make sure grout is sealed to prevent stains.)
