Types of Tile Materials

There are more tile options available to our customers now more than ever before, which is why there is always a demand for our tile work at San Jose Tile Installation. Tiles come in a variety of sizes and are made from a variety of different materials, such as stone, ceramic, glass, clay, and metal. They are also made from lightweight wood and perlite, even though they are less popular than many of the other types of tile materials that we’ve mentioned. We’ll present you with a wide selection of materials for you to choose from.
 
Porcelain Tiles
One of the most common tiles that we use is ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles. These types of tiles are known for absorbing water, which is why they are often found in bathrooms and kitchens. It is also the type of tile material that is best in high-moisture areas, such as the laundry room or bathroom. Porcelain tiles are made from a fine, denser material than ceramic. They are also fired at a much higher temperature, which makes them harder, and stronger, and damage resistant.
 
 
Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles are made from firing red clay in a kiln and coating it with a glaze to create the pattern, and color of ceramic tiles. We can say that ceramic tiles are not ideal for outdoors, but they are often installed in areas where there is moderate traffic. Ceramic tiles lack the same strength as porcelain, which is why where it is installed has to be carefully chosen. We make every effort to make sure that you know what to expect from ceramic tiles. Give us a call and allow us to discuss where we can install your ceramic tiles, as we have done for so many before.
 
Additional Tile Options
These are not the only tile options that are available to you. You will also benefit from knowing about the other types of tiles that you have to choose from, such as glazed tiles, mosaic, glass, quarry tiles, natural stones, and so many more. If you are not convinced that porcelain or ceramic is what you want, then explore the many other options that are available to you. Our associates are more than happy to show you what is available to you. They will consult with you about where the type of tile you want, should be installed and shouldn’t.
