Tile flooring combines beauty and durability
Few flooring options combine beauty, durability, and design flexibility quite like tile flooring. Whether you're updating a kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, or selecting flooring for a busy commercial space, tile delivers long-lasting performance without sacrificing style.
At Carpet Town, we're committed to helping homeowners and businesses find flooring that fits their style, budget, and lifestyle. As the area's largest flooring retailer, we proudly offer quality Shaw Floors tile along with expert advice and professional installation for residential and commercial projects.
What tile materials are available?
Choosing the right material is the first step toward creating a beautiful, functional space.
- Ceramic tile: Ceramic tile is a versatile, budget-friendly option that's ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways. It's easy to maintain, moisture-resistant, and available in countless colors, sizes, and styles.
- Porcelain tile: Porcelain tile is denser and more durable than ceramic, making it perfect for busy homes and commercial environments. It resists moisture, scratches, and wear while offering realistic wood, stone, and concrete looks.
- Glass tile: Glass tile adds color, texture, and shine to backsplashes, shower walls, and accent features. Its reflective surface brightens rooms and creates eye-catching focal points.
- Natural stone tile: Natural stone, including marble, slate, travertine, and granite, delivers one-of-a-kind beauty. Each tile features a unique color variation, giving every installation a custom appearance.

How do tile size and shape affect the finished look?
Tile size and shape dramatically influence a room's appearance.
Large-format tiles create a clean, contemporary look with fewer grout lines, making spaces appear larger. Smaller tiles are perfect for showers, backsplashes, and intricate designs.
Popular tile shapes include:
- Square
- Rectangle
- Subway
- Hexagon
- Herringbone
- Mosaic
Mixing sizes and patterns can add depth and personality while complementing your home's style.
What tile looks and colors can you choose from?
Today's tile can replicate nearly any material.
Wood-look porcelain offers the warmth of hardwood with the durability of tile. Stone-look tile captures the elegance of marble, slate, or travertine without the maintenance. Concrete-look tile complements modern interiors, while patterned tile creates stunning visual interest.
Color choices are just as flexible. Light shades make rooms feel open and bright, gray and neutral tones pair well with almost any décor, and darker colors create bold, sophisticated spaces.
No matter your design style, Shaw Floors offers tile that brings your vision to life.
What are the benefits of tile flooring?
Tile continues to be one of the smartest flooring investments available because it offers:
- Outstanding durability
- Water resistance for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms
- Scratch and stain resistance
- Easy cleaning and maintenance
- Allergy-friendly surfaces
- Long-lasting performance
- Excellent choice for homes with kids and pets
- Wide variety of colors, styles, and textures
Tile flooring also works well with radiant floor heating systems, adding comfort during colder months.
Is tile only for floors?
Not at all. Tile is one of the most versatile materials in interior design.
Many homeowners use tile throughout their homes to create a coordinated look. Popular applications include:
- Kitchen backsplashes
- Bathroom walls
- Walk-in showers
- Fireplace surrounds
- Accent walls
- Laundry rooms
- Outdoor living areas
- Commercial restrooms and entryways
Using tile beyond the floor adds durability while creating beautiful, low-maintenance surfaces throughout your home or business.
How do you clean tile flooring?
Tile is one of the easiest flooring materials to maintain.
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris, then damp mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner as needed. Wipe up spills promptly to keep grout looking its best. Natural stone tile may require occasional sealing to preserve its beauty.
With routine care, quality tile flooring can look beautiful for decades.
