In kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, and high traffic areas, tile floors combine many of the best qualities of durable flooring. Ceramic, porcelain, and other materials provide convincing imitations of wood, terracotta, and other relatively high-maintenance materials. Big 12×24 and 12×12 tiles minimize the distraction of grout lines, but smaller tiles allow for more creativity, especially along borders and backsplashes.

Modern Floors Tiles
Modern floor tiles come prefabricated with all kinds of intricate patterns and designs, from subway tiles to glossy metal. With professional installation, you can choose between the publicly available patterns and your own custom designs. Often, a custom look can be easily achieved by combining two or more off-the-shelf tile materials. Whatever your interior design philosophy, floor tiles complement any color palette, and the long term durability of tile potentially adds value to the home.
Wood Look Plank Tile
Designed with realistic grain patterns and colors, wood look tile provides an attractive alternative to hardwood floors. Real wood requires periodic sanding and varnishing, and it can be easily ruined by water damage, especially in bathrooms and kitchens, where leaks and spills are inevitable. Rather than expensive, high-maintenance hardwood floors, why not upgrade to durable tile that looks exactly the same? Wood look tile is low-maintenance and visually identical to real wood.
Imitation Clay Tile Floors
Terracotta flooring gives your room a rustic, equatorial feel, but the real material is not practical for most homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The porous surface needs to be sealed against stains, but too much sealant ruins the rustic look. What’s more, water that seeps into the tile can freeze in winter, fracturing the clay pieces. Porcelain tile looks the same as real clay flooring, but the durability makes porcelain much easier to maintain
Stone Tile Floors
Granite, limestone, marble, and pebbly stone are just a few of the looks available in stone floor tiles. Each material has its advantages, and many have look-alike alternatives. Even with stonework as durable as granite, the porous material can attract stains without proper maintenance. When you work with TD Renovations, we can help you decide on custom flooring for your desired look and lifestyle.
