Tile flooring offers beauty and durability

Tile is a strong and long-lasting flooring that repels water. This floor covering is particularly desirable because it is hard to damage or stain, but easy to keep clean. With so many styles and colors available, you’re sure to find tile that is perfect for your home. You can browse through samples at SJ FloorSolutions LLC, a tile retailer in Carrollton, Texas. We have decades of experience serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In addition to flooring, we specialize in wall tiles and backsplashes, indoor and outdoor countertops, fireplaces, showers, and outdoor patios. If you want to keep your floors cozy and comfy, ask us about heated floors.

Ceramic tile is a popular flooring choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. Ceramic is made of clay that is fired in a kiln. Tiles, which usually have a solid color and pattern, can be cut and shaped into planks, rectangles, and triangles. Ceramic is pollen and dust resistant, and it is waterproof when glazed. If unglazed, the surface will not wear down over time, making it ideal for high traffic areas in the home. Grout joint spacing, tile size, glaze, and slope of the floor affect the slip resistance of the floor's surface. This type of floor covering may be too heavy for a second story installation.

Porcelain is a type of ceramic that is available in many multi-color designs. While ceramic tile is composed of coarse clay, porcelain tile is formed at a higher temperature from fine kaolin clay. It is denser, heavier, and more brittle than ceramic, making it more difficult to cut. It is a good idea to leave the installation to pros who have years of experience handling the material. Porcelain is inherently waterproof, and it is appropriate for outdoor use in mild climates. It can be manufactured to mimic other materials like stone and wood. Therefore, it works well if you want a wood look in a water prone space. Like ceramic, porcelain has excellent heat resistance.
