Tile is a long-lasting, durable flooring option that can adapt to many styles. It’s available in various tile colors, patterns, textures, shapes, and materials. It can be installed virtually anywhere in your home and even outside. Indeed, the benefits of tile are many.
At Carpet One Floor & Home of New Bern, we bring you the best tile selection for you and your home. Whether it is a small project or a more significant commercial update, we are dedicated to providing an experience you won’t forget.
Most tile is made in ceramic, porcelain, and stone types, ranging in price, style, color, shape, and size.
Which type of tile is best for your space? Ceramic tile and porcelain floor tiles are standard in kitchens and bathrooms. They’re both made from mixing and firing natural materials like clay, sand, and water. Porcelain tile is fired at a much higher temperature for added resilience.
Stone tiles are made using natural stone materials, like granite and marble. Stone floors often need to be sealed to lock out stains and moisture. Best of all, no two tiles are identical, so that you can have a completely custom floor.
Let's delve a little deeper into these popular types of tile:
Ceramic Tile: Made using natural clays, glazed, and fired, ceramic tile is dense and sturdy. Ceramic tile can hold its own against scratches and stains and be wiped clean.
Porcelain Tile: Porcelain tile is similar to ceramic tile but is fired at a much higher temperature for added resilience. Porcelain tiles are 100% water resistant and work well in bathrooms, spas, or kitchen backsplash.
Stone Tile: Stone tile is naturally perfected by Mother Nature. Natural substances such as granite or slate are carved into truly enduring tile, offering unique beauty and hardness to all settings. Best of all, no two tiles are exactly alike!
Are you bored with the standard wallpaper or paint, or perhaps you need something more substantial and splash-proof? Tile's got you and your walls fully covered.
With its ability to completely change how your room looks, and functions, a custom tile backsplash can also hold its own against everyday accidents while allowing you to tap into your more creative side. Mosaic tiles are great for backsplashes, borders, and accent walls.
Many homeowners love tile backsplashes around their sinks, behind the cooking range, or in the tub and shower area. A tile backsplash is easy to clean, can be creatively customized, and offers reliable daily protection against food splatters, soapy splashes, and other everyday foibles.
Because tile is so versatile, it can be installed nearly anywhere in your home.
Ceramics, porcelain, and stone are popular waterproof floors for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. We also offer outdoor-grade tile options that endure freeze-thaw cycles and heavy moisture: perfect for the patio, by the pool, on a paved garden path, or in a walkway. Additionally, you’ll find plenty of commercial tile options.
