Where We Tile
Tile Floor
Tile flooring offers durability, affordability, and a wide range of beautiful styles, making it a versatile choice for any space. It provides a long-lasting, stylish surface that can handle years of heavy foot traffic.
Whether you're updating your kitchen or refreshing your living room, you can choose from a variety of tile types, including:
Cement
Ceramic
Glass
Natural
Stone
Porcelain
Mosaic
Backsplash
A backsplash refers to wall tile installed between countertops and cabinetry, most commonly in the kitchen, though it can also serve as a decorative feature in bathrooms. You have many tile options for your backsplash, including ceramic, natural stone, glass, slate, marble, and porcelain. Popular patterns like arabesque, chevron, and herringbone add a touch of style to your space.
For an extra design element, consider adding decorative tile accents. These accents can elevate walls, floors, kitchen backsplashes, countertops, or even tile murals, offering a stylish highlight to any area of your home.
Bathroom Tile
If you’re planning to update your bathroom or shower, tile is an excellent choice. Whether you’re adding decorative accents to give your space a fresh look or doing a full remodel, we’ve got everything you need.
Cement Tile
Encaustic cement tile, or encaustic tile, features patterns made from the colors of the clay itself, rather than a glaze. These versatile tiles can be used for more than just flooring—they’re great for walls, countertops, backsplashes, and other areas of your home. One of the biggest advantages of cement tile is its durability and long-lasting wear, making it a superior option for high-traffic areas.
Cement tiles are also low maintenance, requiring only routine cleaning and occasional resealing. At Home Depot, you’ll find a variety of handmade cement tile patterns, including arabesque, herringbone, circulos, and mosaics.
In addition to its durability, cement tile offers excellent insulation, staying cool to the touch and potentially helping lower your energy bills. Schedule an in-home measure today to get a quote based on your preferred tile selection.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tiles are a fantastic choice for their durability and versatility. Made from clay, they are water-resistant, crack-resistant, easy to maintain, and available in endless styles, shapes, and patterns.
Affordable and tough, ceramic tile is perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens, laundry rooms, bathrooms, and entryways. You can also check their ratings to determine how much moisture a specific type of ceramic tile will absorb. Whether used for flooring, walls, backsplashes, or countertops, ceramic tiles deliver both style and practicality. When glazed, they feature a liquid glass coating that resists stains, scratches, and fading.
Subway tiles are a popular ceramic tile style, available in beveled, double-fired, and standard designs. Ceramic tile murals are also a great option for kitchens and showers, while unglazed ceramic tiles can create a natural stone look. Our installation pros can help you tackle any ceramic tile project. Talk to our experts to find the right ceramic tile for your floors or backsplash, tailored to your budget and needs.
Mosiac Tile
Mosaic tile is often found on bathroom walls or kitchen backsplashes, but its versatility allows it to be installed anywhere in your home.
Typically made up of multicolored glass tiles or pieces set on a mesh backing for easy installation, mosaics are a stylish and practical choice.
Resistant to moisture and stains, mosaic tile is a durable option that doesn’t chip easily, making it ideal for countertops, walls, floors, and even outdoor spaces. With more grout lines than other tile types, mosaics offer a naturally slip-resistant surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cost for tile installation?
The total cost of your tile project will vary based on the size of your space and the type of tile you choose. By giving us a call, we will be better positioned to provide you a custom quote for your tile installation.
How long is the installation process?
Installing new tile is a multi-step process that typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your project. It begins with surface preparation, ensuring the area is clean, level, and ready for tile installation. Next, the tile is set using mortar, tailored to the specific type of tile being used. The final step involves grouting the tile and applying a sealer.
While most ceramic and porcelain tiles don’t require sealing, unglazed tiles must be sealed before grouting. The type of grout also depends on the size of the joints—wider joints require sanded grout, while thinner joints are better suited for unsanded grout. With many tools and options available for each phase, it’s crucial that every step is completed properly with the right materials. Our expert tile contractors ensure your project is done efficiently and to the highest standard.
How do I choose the right tile for my room?
Tile is classified by its hardness and durability for foot traffic, measured by the PEI Rating. This rating helps you choose the right tile for different areas of your home based on the amount of traffic they receive. High-traffic rooms require harder, denser tiles, while low-traffic areas can use less durable options. The PEI Rating ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being suitable for walls only, and 5 being ideal for heavy foot traffic, such as commercial spaces. For most residential floors, tiles with a rating of 2 or 3 are sufficient.
For instance, a bathroom may only need a rating of 2, while a kitchen, which experiences heavier use, would require a rating of 3.Additionally, it’s important to consider the tile's slip resistance, known as the Coefficient of Friction. On a scale of 1 to 10, a tile with a rating of 10 will provide the most slip resistance. Our professional tile installers are here to guide you in choosing the best tile for both durability and safety.
When I have new tile, do I need trim installed?
When new flooring is installed, gaps may appear between the floor and the baseboard. To cover these gaps and create a smoother transition from your floor to the wall, you'll need trim such as quarter-round or shoe molding. Our installation professionals can assist you in selecting the best trim option for your room’s needs.
Ceramic VS Porcelain?
Porcelain tile is denser, more durable, and often has a higher PEI Rating compared to ceramic. It absorbs less water, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, high-traffic areas, and even outdoor spaces. However, for exterior use, natural stone is typically the best option due to its natural resilience.
Ceramic tile, while softer and easier to cut, is not suitable for outdoor use. Its softness makes it more budget-friendly and a great option for indoor projects where easier installation is a priority.
Glazed VS Unglazed?
Glazed tile has an additional layer of liquid glass applied to the top as the final step of the firing process. Glazed tiles come in a larger variety of colors and styles than unglazed and are more stain resistant.
Unglazed tiles are more slip and scratch resistant than glazed tiles.
What is subfloor?
Subfloor is the layer of floor that is directly under your flooring and above your floor joist. It exists to provide support for your flooring and creates a smooth, flat surface for your installation project.
Concrete provides a stable subfloor for tile installation, but plywood is not recommended, as it can expand and contract. Backer board will provide extra stability for your subfloor. Our installation professionals are equipped to answer your questions before your tile installation project begins.
What are floor joists?
A floor joist is the support structure beneath your subfloor, typically made of solid or engineered wood, spaced at varying distances. The farther apart the joists are, the more movement or "bounce" the floor may have, making it less ideal for tile installation. Excessive bounce can cause tiles to break, bend, or crack. Be sure to ask your tile installer if your floor joists can properly support tile before starting the installation process.
