Tired of that worn out carpet?  Is your linoleum flooring curling up at the edges?  Want to look at a beautiful backsplash while slaving in the kitchen? 

Update your home decor with tile.  There are many types of colors, patterns, and textures available to suit any personal taste or style of architecture. Here is a list of a few of the more common types of tile:

• Ceramic Tile - ceramic tile is clay based and is most often glazed on top to produce different colors and textures. Glazed ceramic is a good choice for walls in areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry area.
• Porcelain Tile - porcelain tile is sand based and fired at extremely high temperatures which produces an almost glass-like product. It is a good choice for flooring both indoors and outside.
• Natural Stone - there are many types of natural stone from which to choose, marble, granite, travertine, limestone, slate, etc. Depending on the type of material chosen, natural stone can be used for flooring, countertops, wall applications, etc.
