Tile and natural stone are the most durable, most waterproof surfaces there are — they shrug off spills, boots and steam long after softer floors have given up.
They're a natural fit for kitchens, bathrooms and entryways, and they pair beautifully with radiant in-floor heat, so a cold tile floor turns warm underfoot all winter.
Three very different materials, each with its own strengths. Here's the honest rundown so you can match the tile to the room.
The most affordable option and easy to work with. Great for walls, backsplashes and light-traffic floors — a proven, budget-friendly choice when you don't need heavy-duty toughness.
Denser and harder than ceramic, with near-zero water absorption. The best pick for floors, bathrooms and any wet area — it takes real abuse and keeps looking new.
Slate, marble and travertine bring genuine, one-of-a-kind character no manufactured tile can match. It does need periodic sealing to stay its best, but nothing looks quite like the real thing.
Spills, mud and steam wipe clean and stay out — nothing soaks in the way it does with softer floors.
Run in-floor heating underneath and cold tile turns cozy and warm underfoot right through a Nova Scotia winter.
A properly installed tile floor can outlast the rest of the room — it's one of the longest-lived surfaces you can lay.
From classic subway to large-format and mosaic, tile comes in more shapes, colours and layouts than any other floor.
Tile earns its keep anywhere water, mud and traffic collect. It's the go-to for the hard-working corners of the house — and it climbs the walls, too.
