A tradition spanning the generations, tile adds vibrant color and creativity to all your favorite spaces. Whether you want to update your floors or brighten your countertops or backsplash, tile offers endless possibilities. There are thousands of tile options, with new products constantly being added. We at Carpet One Floor & Home in Farmington, New Mexico, know that can be overwhelming and lead to uncertainty. Here is some helpful information to get you to the perfect tile!
Tile consumers can generally expect to choose amongst three major tile varieties: ceramics, stone, and porcelain. Ceramic tiles are built to last. They perform well under pressure, as they are made of kiln-fired clay. Porcelain tile is also made of clay but is fired at a higher temperature for a denser, more durable tile. Lastly, stone tile is made of natural slate, granite, marble, and other stones.
Wood-look tile combines the benefits of tile with the look of hardwood. One of the primary benefits of wood-look tile is its ability to mimic genuine wood without the required maintenance. Tile doesn’t need to be refinished like hardwood floors do after they get worn, and they don’t need to be cleaned as often – and when they do, cleaning is a breeze. Also, unlike traditional hardwood floors, wood-look tile can be installed in areas with high moisture, like kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms.
Tile has long been favored as flooring in bathrooms, kitchens, and mudrooms thanks to its waterproof qualities. We also offer tile for spaces beyond your floors. We specialize in beautiful tile backsplashes, wall tiles, shower tiles, bath tile surrounds, and more. Our showroom also features a variety of commercial tile products that feature enhanced slip, crack, and stain resistance. These collections are designed to hold up, even in your most challenging spaces. Additionally, we carry outdoor-grade tiling for patios, poolsides, walkways, and more.
Depending on the size of the project, tile installation can take anywhere from a couple of days to a month. First, the installation team will move furniture and appliances out of the way. Next, the existing floor will be removed, and the subfloor will be leveled if necessary. An underlayment will be put down; setting the material and grout is time. Regarding tile installation, there will undoubtedly be some dust and mess for a little bit, but the results are beyond worth it! Our installation team pays special attention to detail while working promptly and efficiently, and all labor and setting materials are included in the overall cost.
