Why Choose Tile Flooring for Your Home?

Tile is a versatile surface that combines durability with nearly endless design possibilities. With the right product, tile can work beautifully in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, living areas, and other spaces throughout your home.

 

Benefits of tile include:

 

Types of Tile at Modern Flooring America

Different tile materials offer different benefits, so choosing the right one depends on where it will be installed and the look you want to create. Visit our Kalamazoo flooring showroom to compare ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile in person.

 

Porcelain Tile

Porcelain tile is dense, durable, and available in an impressive range of styles. Depending on the product, it can be used for floors, walls, showers, backsplashes, and other applications.

 

Modern porcelain can recreate the appearance of natural stone, wood, concrete, and other materials while providing the practical benefits of tile. Its low water absorption also makes many porcelain products well suited for moisture-prone areas.

 

Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is a classic option that offers plenty of flexibility for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Available in numerous colors, patterns, sizes, and finishes, ceramic tile can be used to create everything from understated floors to decorative backsplashes and walls.

 

Ceramic is especially popular for kitchens and bathrooms because it's easy to coordinate across flooring, walls, and other design features.

 

Natural Stone Tile

Natural stone brings authentic variation and character into your home. Because stone is created by nature, variations in color, veining, texture, and pattern help give each installation a distinctive appearance.

 

Care and maintenance requirements vary by stone type. Some natural stone needs periodic sealing or specialized cleaning products, so our flooring experts can help you understand what to expect before choosing a product.

 

 

Tile Isn't Just for Flooring

Tile is one of the most versatile materials you can use in your home. Beyond floors, it can introduce color, pattern, texture, and visual interest to walls and other design features.

 

Bathroom & Shower Tile

Transform your bathroom with tile designed for floors, shower walls, tub surrounds, and other moisture-prone areas. Porcelain and ceramic options are available in styles ranging from clean and understated to bold and decorative.

 

Using coordinating tile throughout the room can also help connect your bathroom flooring, shower, and other finishes for a more cohesive design.

 

Kitchen Backsplash Tile

A tile backsplash combines practical wall protection with an opportunity to personalize your kitchen. Choose from subway tile, mosaics, geometric shapes, natural stone looks, and other designs to complement your cabinets, countertops, and flooring.

 

If you're updating multiple surfaces, our team can help you coordinate your backsplash with luxury vinyl flooring, hardwood, or other flooring throughout your home.

 

Fireplaces & Accent Walls

Tile can create a striking focal point around a fireplace or on an accent wall. Depending on the application and product specifications, you can use tile to introduce texture, contrast, pattern, or natural stone-inspired character.

 

Entryways & Mudrooms

Entryways need flooring that can keep up with everyday traffic. Tile can provide a durable, easy-care surface for areas that regularly encounter shoes, dirt, moisture, and Michigan's changing seasons.

 

Outdoor Tile

Select tile products are manufactured for outdoor use. If you're considering tile for a patio, walkway, or other exterior space, look for products specifically rated for outdoor conditions, including the freeze-thaw cycles common in Michigan.

 

Our flooring experts can help you determine which products are approved for your intended installation area.

 

 

Choosing Tile for Your Kitchen or Bathroom

Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most popular places to use tile, but the right product depends on the application. A tile that's perfect for a decorative backsplash isn't necessarily the right choice for a busy bathroom floor.

 

When comparing tile, consider:

 

Tile Flooring for Kalamazoo Homes

Michigan's changing seasons can put floors to the test. Snow, rain, mud, and everyday foot traffic make durable, easy-care surfaces especially useful in kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and entryways.

 

Tile also gives you tremendous design flexibility. From warm stone looks and classic neutrals to modern patterns and wood-inspired planks, our team can help you find a style that complements your home without sacrificing everyday performance.

 

 

Design Help for Your Tile Project

Choosing tile involves more than finding a color you like. Tile size, pattern, grout color, layout, texture, and surrounding finishes all contribute to the finished design.

Tile Flooring FAQs

 

What makes tile a good flooring option?

Tile offers a combination of durability, easy maintenance, moisture resistance, and design versatility. With many materials, sizes, colors, patterns, and textures available, tile can work with a wide range of interior styles.

 

What's the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?

Both are manufactured from clay-based materials, but porcelain is generally denser and has a lower water absorption rate. The best choice depends on your installation area, design preferences, budget, and the specifications of the individual product.

 

Can tile be used in a shower?

Yes, many porcelain and ceramic tiles are appropriate for shower applications. However, not every tile is designed for every surface. Make sure the product is rated for its intended use, particularly when selecting tile for shower floors.

 

Can tile be installed outdoors in Michigan?

Select tile products can be installed outdoors. Because Kalamazoo experiences freezing temperatures, exterior tile should be specifically rated for outdoor use and appropriate for local freeze-thaw conditions.

 

Is tile easy to maintain?

Most ceramic and porcelain tile is relatively easy to maintain with regular sweeping, vacuuming, and appropriate cleaning. Natural stone may require additional care or periodic sealing depending on the material.

 

Do you offer professional tile installation?

Yes. Modern Flooring America offers professional flooring installation to help ensure your tile is properly prepared, laid out, installed, and finished.

 

Can you help me choose tile for a backsplash or shower?

Yes. Our flooring and design experts can help you compare tile for backsplashes, showers, floors, walls, and other applications while coordinating colors, patterns, and finishes with the rest of your space.
