5 Types of Ceramic Tile We (and Our Customers) Love
Ceramic tile remains a top choice among homeowners, designers and installers alike, and it’s easy to see why. Ceramic tiles are strong, durable and easy to maintain year after year—and ceramic is among the more cost-effective materials, too. All these qualities make it exceptionally versatile, too; depending on your project, ceramic tile can be a smart choice for floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchens and more. These are some of our customers’ favorite categories of ceramic tile. (Check with your local Tile Shop store for project and application recommendations.)
Wood-Look Ceramic Tile
Wood-look ceramic tile is a great option for the customer who wants their home to have the classic, warm charm of natural wood, with the simplified upkeep a manmade material can offer. As a flooring material, wood-look ceramic tile is suitable for spaces where wood floors tend to be less practical, such as mudrooms, basements and bathrooms.

White Ceramic Tile
The clean, bright simplicity of white ceramic tile is a welcome touch to kitchens, bathrooms and more. Because it serves as a neutral backdrop for any décor, classic white tile is a smart choice for creating a space you’ll love now and in the future. It truly never goes out of style.

Ceramic Shower Tile
Whether you’re installing a full ceramic shower wall, or simply adding a recessed niche for a quick update, ceramic shower tile is the perfect choice for bathroom projects. Speaking of shower niches, one of our favorite design ideas is using the same tile for the niche and the bathroom floor. It’s an easy way to create a cohesive, continuous look, while adding valuable shower storage.

Ceramic Wall Tile
When you decide to use ceramic tile as a wall covering, you unlock a world of design possibilities; while only certain tiles are rated for use on floors, almost any tile can be installed on a vertical surface (I.e., a wall). With that functional requirement out of the equation, the only question you have to ask yourself is, “Which ceramic wall tile do I like best?”

From floors and countertops to backsplashes and kitchen island walls, ceramic kitchen tile is a fantastic answer to any design need in the heart of your home.
