Ceramic Tile is a very popular choice
for today�s homeowners. It�s durability and ease of maintenance are
perfect for any family on the go.
There are five elements to consider
when purchasing your ideal ceramic tile floor: Size, shape, color, texture
and pattern.
Typically, larger tiles can make a
room appear smaller, and the opposite is true for smaller tiles. Darker
colors will also give the appearance of a smaller space, while lighter
colors can open up an entire room.
Ceramic tile comes in a wide variety
of patterns and shapes. From rectangular to hexagonal with separate corner
inserts, you can create any look that you desire.
Textured tiles are designed for
fashion and abrasive tiles are designed for slip resistance, for use in
areas that are prone to standing water, such as a pool side area.
The main thing to consider when
purchasing a ceramic tile floor is the wear rating of the tile itself. The
tile wear rating system is based on a scale of 1 to 4.

Special
tip from Leah Luke of Luke's Flooring Service:
"When looking for the best tile
find out where the tile was produced. Mexican or South American tile
is good but European tile is better. European soil is richer in
minerals and can be fired hotter than Mexican or South American
soils"
