Both ceramics and porcelains are rugged enough to be placed in any location, from floors to backsplashes to walls and countertops. While porcelain can be installed outdoors, ceramic tiles cannot. On the other hand, ceramic tiles are offer in a wider variety of decorative colors for expanded installation options. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are durable and will last for many years with very little visible wear and minimal care. A tile contractor can advise on the best type of ceramic or porcelain tile for your home project.

The tile contractor will clean the surface to ensure that it is level prior to installation. However, the contractor will most likely recommend that all previous materials be removed and that the tiles be placed on a concrete slab or with new backerboard.

If you want flawless tiling in your home, hire a professional contractor. A tile contractor’s craftsmanship can’t be beat.
