What Tile Flooring Means
Tile flooring uses ceramic, porcelain, or natural-stone units installed over a prepared surface with mortar, grout, and movement accommodations.
Where It Is Commonly Used
Tile is commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas, entries, and other spaces that benefit from a hard, moisture-tolerant surface.
Benefits
Quality tile is durable, easy to clean, and available in many sizes, colors, and patterns. It can perform well in wet or high-traffic areas when the assembly is built correctly.
Important Considerations
The substrate must be stable and flat. Waterproofing, crack isolation, grout maintenance, movement joints, and proper setting materials are critical to long-term performance.
