Tile Flooring Buying Guide
Types of Tile Flooring
Tile flooring offers unmatched durability, versatility, and style, making it a favorite for homes and businesses. With a variety of materials to choose from, each type of tile brings unique benefits to your space.
- Ceramic: Made from natural clay and fired at high temperatures, ceramic tile is a popular choice for its affordability and variety of colors, patterns, and finishes. It's well-suited for moderate-traffic areas and is easy to clean.
- Porcelain: Denser and less porous than ceramic, porcelain tile is fired at even higher temperatures. This makes it highly durable, water-resistant, and ideal for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
- Stone: Natural stone tiles—including marble, granite, slate, and travertine—offer one-of-a-kind beauty and exceptional strength. Stone tiles bring timeless elegance and value but often require more maintenance and a higher upfront investment.
What to Consider When Choosing Tile Flooring
Selecting the right tile involves more than just appearance. Here are some key factors to help guide your decision:
- Traffic: Consider the foot traffic in your space. Opt for harder, more durable tiles like porcelain or stone in busy areas.
- Moisture Level: Areas prone to moisture (bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms) benefit from water-resistant options such as porcelain or sealed stone.
- Style: Tiles come in countless colors, shapes, and patterns. Choose a style that complements your décor and achieves your desired look, from classic to modern.
- Budget: Tile flooring is available in a range of price points. Ceramic tiles are generally more affordable, while porcelain and natural stone can cost more but offer increased durability and longevity.
Tile Appearance Options
Today’s tile flooring offers endless design possibilities. Choose from wood-look planks, stone-look squares, bold colors, geometric shapes, intricate mosaics, and large-format tiles to customize your space. Glossy or matte finishes, textured surfaces, and even patterned grout can help you achieve a truly unique result.
Tile Durability and Lifespan
Tile flooring is renowned for its outstanding durability, making it an excellent investment for both homes and commercial properties. Porcelain and stone tiles, in particular, are incredibly tough—they resist scratches, chips, moisture, and stains, even in high-traffic areas. With proper care, these tiles can maintain their beauty and functionality for 30 years or more, often outlasting many other flooring options.
Ceramic tiles, while slightly softer than porcelain or stone, are still highly durable and can last for decades in residential settings. The longevity of your tile flooring will also depend on proper installation and regular maintenance, such as cleaning and resealing grout or stone surfaces as needed.
At Express Flooring, we stand behind the quality of our work with a Lifetime Installation Warranty. This means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your tile floors are professionally installed and protected for the life of your home. Our commitment to quality installation ensures your tile flooring will deliver lasting performance, value, and style for years to come.
Tile Flooring Installation
Proper installation is key to the performance, appearance, and longevity of your tile flooring. At Express Flooring, our experienced installers follow a detailed process to ensure flawless results from start to finish.
Installation begins with a thorough assessment and preparation of the subfloor, which must be clean, level, and dry for the tiles to adhere properly. Any irregularities or moisture issues are addressed before installation to prevent problems down the line. Next, a high-quality thin-set mortar or adhesive is applied, and tiles are carefully laid out according to your preferred pattern or design. Our experts take care to align each tile with precision, ensuring even spacing and straight grout lines.
After the tiles are set, grout is applied between the joints. This not only secures the tiles in place but also prevents moisture from seeping beneath the surface. For natural stone or porous tile, a sealant may be used to enhance water resistance and protect the surface from stains. The installation process concludes with a thorough cleaning and inspection to guarantee your new floors look stunning and are ready for daily use.
Express Flooring offers professional installation services backed by our Lifetime Installation Warranty. This means you can trust that every detail will be handled with care and expertise, resulting in tile flooring that’s beautiful, durable, and built to last.
Cost Considerations for Tile Flooring
Tile flooring costs vary based on material, size, and installation complexity. Ceramic tiles are usually the most budget-friendly, while porcelain and stone are pricier due to their superior durability and installation requirements. Don’t forget to factor in costs for underlayment, grout, and professional labor for a complete project budget.
Tips for Maintaining Tile Floors
- Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit and debris.
- Mop with a tile-safe cleaner—avoid harsh chemicals that could damage grout or tile surfaces.
- Wipe spills quickly to prevent staining, especially on porous stone.
- Re-seal stone tiles and grout lines as recommended to maintain water resistance and prevent discoloration.
- Place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt.
Best Rooms for Tile Flooring
Tile is ideal for any area where durability and water resistance are a priority. It’s perfect for:
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Laundry rooms
- Mudrooms
- Entryways
- Outdoor patios
Thanks to its versatility and vast design options, tile flooring can also be a stylish, long-lasting solution for living rooms, dining areas, and commercial spaces.

Tile options are plentiful, and pricing can vary! The only way to give our customers accurate pricing is to measure the rooms where it will be installed, evaluate any demolition, prep, and which tile they’d prefer. Only after that can we give you the correct pricing. Express always likes to warn homeowners that a company that gives general pricing without going through these steps is likely to change its tune once the actual job is designed.

This is precisely why Express offers a Free Design Consultation with a flooring professional before every project.

Tile is a fantastic choice for high-moisture areas because of its durability and ease of care. How the room is prepared makes a big difference, as do the materials used to install the tile.

Express has a large selection of tiles with texture to keep your tiled floor as safe as possible.
