When selecting the perfect tile for your home, there are several factors to consider. Tiles come in various materials, including stone, ceramic, and luxury vinyl. The best choice depends on the function of the space, the amount of foot traffic, and other factors such as aesthetics and durability.
At Jamie’s Carpet Shop, we offer a wide variety of tile options to meet your needs. No matter if you prefer natural stone, the durability of ceramic, or the versatility of luxury vinyl, we have something to suit every style. Visit our showrooms in Amherst, Sandusky, and Elyria, Ohio, or take advantage of our mobile showroom that brings the tile selection directly to your home.
Natural Stone Tiles
Natural stone tiles, such as granite, are a beautiful and durable choice for your floors. These tiles, quarried from the earth, provide a unique appearance with every piece. Granite, in particular, is known for its strength and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. It is also resistant to stains and relatively easy to clean, making it ideal for both residential and commercial spaces. However, to maintain its maximum durability, regular sealing is recommended.
Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles are a popular choice due to their affordability and versatility. While glazed ceramic is waterproof, porcelain tiles, which fall under the ceramic category, naturally resist water. Ceramic tiles come in a wide variety of styles and sizes, often in neutral colors, and are available at various price points. For a more durable option, porcelain tiles are an excellent choice. Porcelain tiles, which often mimic the look of stone and wood, are a trend right now for those seeking both style and function.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)
Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) have become increasingly popular due to their durability, easy maintenance, and ability to mimic the look of natural materials like stone and wood. High-quality luxury vinyl comes with a thick 20-mil wear layer that protects the image layer underneath. A waterproof core layer, typically made of WPC (wood-plastic composite) or SPC (stone plastic composite), ensures that your flooring remains structurally sound even when exposed to water. Whether glued down or floating above the subfloor, LVT is ideal for those who want the look of natural stone or wood but with a more lightweight and affordable option.
