Best Tile For Your Floors 

Chossing the best tile for floors depends on  the specific needs of the space, your design preferences, and your budget. Here's an overview of the most popular  types of flooring tiles and their best applications.

• Ceramic Tiles are made from clay and fired at high temperatures. Ceramic tiles are versatile and come in a range of styles, colors, and finishes. They're generally durable and suitable for moderate to high-traffic areas. Ceramic tiles come in various colors, patterns, and sizes and are usually more affordable than other types of tile.

• Porcelain Tiles are made from a type of ceramic tile formed from denser clay and fired at higher temperatures, making it more durable and less porous. it's very water-resistant, making it suitable for wet areas and high-traffic spaces. Like ceramic, porcelain tile comes in a range of styles, including those that mimic natural stone or wood. It's generally more expensive than ceramic tiles, though the durability often justifies the cost.

• Natural Stone Tiles are made from natural materials like marble, granite, travertine, slate, and limestone. Each stone type has unique characteristics and aesthetics. Stone tiles are generally durable, though some types require more maintenance. This flooring can last for decades with proper care. It does require regular sealing and maintenance to prevent staining and water damage.
