Glazed tile is water-resistant when appropriately installed. However, it may not be a good choice for inside water usage areas such as a shower. Read the instructions and uses of the tile before purchase to see where the tile is approved for use. Or ask one of our team members for a water-proof tile recommendation.

Porcelain & ceramic tile are both made of water and clay, but porcelain contains higher-quality minerals like quartz and feldspar. The combination makes it denser and less porous and gives it a longer life. Porcelain may be a good choice for outdoor tile, where it may be exposed to colder temperatures and may be subject to heavy-duty use.

Yes, even if you don’t have them installed in a high-moisture area. Sealing helps protect against other damage, including water, wear, and tear, pet accidents, etc.

You may have your heart set on a particular type and style of tile for your project. But it may not work. You must select a tile based on the kind of project, such as the floor, room, backsplash, bathroom, indoor/outdoor, and others.

Yes, LVT is waterproof. The resins used are impervious to water, allowing you to use them for flooring in your bathroom, kitchen, or other moisture-riddled areas. LVT is also ideal in different home rooms, such as the living room. For example, it is an excellent choice for someone who wants their bedroom floor and adjoining bathroom floor to flow continuously. LVT is also a good choice for great rooms or open spaces where the kitchen, dining, living, and other areas flow harmoniously.

However, we recommend professional installation of LVT to ensure the correct preparation, fit-ting, and other installation tasks, allowing the floor to resist water as intended.

We normally do not recommend luxury vinyl tile for outdoor uses. Sunlight, rain, snow, and freezing or hot temperatures can affect LVT’s color, look, and integrity. However, outdoor structures such as he and she sheds may be a good choice.

You may have furry friends with long nails who like to scratch. Or you may have some who are prone to “accidents.” LVT is more resistant to these types of damage than traditional vinyl, wooden floors, etc. However, it can become damaged over time. Therefore, we recommend trimming the pet’s nails and using pads whenever possible.
