Design the Perfect Kitchen Space
The kitchen is the one room in the house that can have several different types of tiles in different applications and they can all enhance your kitchen beautifully. It’s important to consider where the tile is going to go first so you can choose the best type for your needs. Tile comes in a variety of materials, patterns, and sizes to make your kitchen both functional and fashionable, which including quarry, stone, cork, vinyl, bamboo, ceramic, porcelain, and glass from well-known brands such as Encore Ceramics, Daltile, and Marazzi. Applications like vinyl, cork, and bamboo tiles are most commonly used in flooring, while quarry, ceramic, and porcelain can be used for kitchen counters and floors. Glass tile is commonly reserved for walls and backsplashes.
Kitchen Backsplash
Let your unique style personality shine with your kitchen backsplash. Since your backsplash doesn't take direct heavy traffic, glossy, and painted tiles are a perfect fit. However they still have to withstand, hot oil splatters, grease, and daily cleaning. Choose from porcelain, ceramic or glass from popular brands like Encore Ceramics or Sonoma Tilemakers, or stone materials from Stoneimpressions.
Kitchen Countertops
When it comes to a kitchen countertop, you want a tile that is durable enough to withstand heat from pots and pans as well as the ability to repel water and stains. The tile used for this surface should be easy to clean and maintain as well. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are most popular due to their resilience, but other materials are starting to gain popularity such as composite, soapstone, butcher block, and cement. Popular quality brands to look out for are DEKETON, Silestone, Vadara, Ceasarstone and PentalQuartz.
Kitchen Floors
The kitchen is the busiest room in the house, which means that when choosing floor tile, it has to be durable enough to withstand heavy traffic, pets, spilled foods, and cleaning supplies. You also want to make sure it won’t get too slippery when wet. Ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone, like marble, slate, travertine, and granite, are all great at giving your kitchen floors a timeless style that's both long-lasting and safe. Look for brand names such as Daltile, Pan American Ceramics, Marazzi and American Orlean to find quality as well as style.
