Tile comes in a wide range of standard sizes, giving homeowners flexibility in both style and function. Common floor and wall tiles are available in 12×12, 12×24, 18×36, and other rectangular formats. Larger format tiles help rooms feel open and seamless with fewer grout lines, while smaller pieces offer easier installation.

Tile finishes influence both the look and performance of a space. Matte and textured finishes offer increased slip resistance, making them ideal for bathrooms. Polished and glossy tiles provide a sleek, reflective appearance commonly used on walls or low‑moisture areas to add brightness. Satin or honed finishes strike a balanced look with a soft sheen and a smooth touch. Choosing the right finish ensures the tile performs well in the environment where it’s installed.

Tile pricing varies by material, size, finish, and design complexity. Porcelain and ceramic tend to be the most budget‑friendly options, while natural stone, specialty patterns, and large‑format styles fall in a higher price range. Floor Craft provides options across a wide range of budgets, helping customers find tile that balances both style and value.

Porcelain tile is the most durable option, made from dense clay fired at high temperatures, resulting in excellent water resistance and long‑term wear. It's ideal for floors, showers, and high‑traffic areas. Ceramic tile provides a more budget‑friendly alternative with a wide range of styles and colors, best suited for walls, backsplashes, and light‑to‑moderate traffic spaces. Natural stone, including materials like marble, travertine, slate, and quartzite, brings unique variation and organic beauty to any room. Stone requires proper sealing and maintenance, but offers unmatched character and timeless appeal.

What to consider: Each vendor and individual tile line will specify the appropriate application for its product. If you're not sure, ask one of our sales representatives about the best product for your specific use.
