Homeowners are embracing natural looks, such as marble and other stones. Undoubtedly, stone tile flooring lends a sense of elegance, sophistication, and style.?
Natural stone comes with a hefty price tag, but no worries! Modern technology like Inkjet allows manufacturers to create realistic echoes of marble, granite, slate, limestone, and more.
Some to explore in our inventory include Predella by Marazzi, Cassini Carrara by Tesoro, Rooted Anthracite by Atlas Concorde, and more.
And they can all be made with porcelain or ceramic tile.
What is Inkjet?
It's like a computer printer. Compared to the old way of painting tiles by hand, Inkjet can spew several colored inks simultaneously on ceramic tile or porcelain.
The result is an intricate pattern with exceptional detail in color and veining variations. Stone-look tile flooring has all the characteristics of a Mother Nature creation.
Porcelain vs. ceramic tile
Both are excellent choices. Porcelain tile, however, is best for heavily trafficked floors.
It is heavier and more dense. It also has a low water absorption rate and can be used indoors or out.?
Porcelain is also a large format tile. However, the fewer seams often make it the preferred choice for stone looks; it has a more continuous look like a slab.
Benefits of stone tile flooring
This tile store gem combines the beauty of natural stone with the functionality of tile. Stone-look tiles are less expensive but less porous, more durable, and easier to clean.?
When installed correctly and taken care of, they can last 30 or more years. Since stone is a classic, these tiles will never go out of style.
