Sometimes, however, having a lot of choices can feel a little overwhelming. Tony Oliva here, owner of Unique Flooring in Oceanside, California. In this short video, I'll briefly review several popular types of tile. Having an idea of what type of tile you want to use for your floor is the first step in making your tile decision. OUTDOOR TILES: Brick, concrete and paver tiles are typically used for outdoor walkways and patio areas. They each provide a natural, rustic look and are durable in lots of different weather. It should be noted that concrete comes in more shades than just gray, meaning that homeowners can get creative with their outdoor tiling. CERAMIC: Ceramic tiles are definitely the most popular tile found in U.S. homes. They are extremely versatile in color, style and size and are relatively cost-efficient compared with other indoor tile options. Ceramic tiles are made from a mixture of clay and other minerals. They are heated in a kiln and are either glazed or unglazed. Because unglazed ceramic tiles tend to be very porous, homeowners may want to apply sealant to help ward off stains. STONE: Stone tiles make a very beautiful and classical addition to any home. Some of the most popular varieties of stone tile include granite, marble and travertine. Stone tiles tend to be more expensive than ceramics and can be more challenging to care for. Granite, for instance, is easy to crack, and marble and travertine are very porous, making them vulnerable to stains. Also, stone tiles tend to get slippery when wet, so it is best to either keep them out of rooms where moisture is most prevalent (such as the bath or kitchen) or to put plenty of mats down near faucets and sinks. OTHER KINDS OF TILE: There are many other popular tile varieties, including terra cotta, glass, Saltillo, terrazzo and more. Each of these tiles is beautiful in their own way and can add a particular character to the room. Environmentally-friendly homeowners may be especially interested in terrazzo, which is made using a high concentration of recycled materials and looks great in entryways, hallways and outdoor spaces. Picking out the type of tile you want is only the beginning of the decision making process. You'll also need to start thinking about tile color, style, design elements, size and shape. Still, knowing the type of tile you want will get you off the right start. At Unique Flooring, our job is to put the perfect flooring under your feet. Thanks for watching!
