Your Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Tile

Choosing the right tile is about more than looks. It's about finding the right material, finish, and format for how a space will actually be used. At Tile Mart, we carry a complete selection of floor tiles and wall tiles including ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, natural stone tiles, wood look tiles, and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) so you can shop everything you need in one place.

Ceramic, Porcelain, Natural Stone, and Wood Look Tile: What’s the Difference?

Ceramic tiles are a reliable, budget-friendly option ideal for kitchen floors, backsplashes, and light-traffic areas. They're easy to cut, install, and maintain, making them a favorite for DIY projects. Porcelain tiles are denser and more water-resistant, making them a preferred choice for bathroom tile applications, shower walls, and outdoor tile projects. Large-format porcelain tiles deliver a polished look with minimal grout lines. 

Natural stone tiles, including marble, travertine, and basalt, bring authentic texture and one-of-a-kind character to any room. They require sealing and a bit more care, but the result is a finish that can't be replicated. 

Wood look tiles and wood look porcelain give you the warm, natural appearance of hardwood with the added durability and water resistance of tile. Our luxury vinyl plank options offer a comfortable, click-lock flooring alternative that is easy to install and stands up to moisture and heavy use.

Tiles for Every Room

• Kitchen: Classic white subway tiles make a timeless backsplash, while ceramic and porcelain floor tiles handle heavy foot traffic with ease. Wood look tiles add warmth underfoot without the upkeep of traditional hardwood. 

• Bathroom: Porcelain tiles are a go-to choice for bathroom floors, wall tiles, and shower surrounds. Non-slip matte finishes add safety without sacrificing style.

• Living Room and Entryway: Large-format porcelain, wood look tiles, or LVP flooring create a seamless, inviting look that works with any decor style.

•  Outdoor and Patio: Frost-resistant porcelain and durable basalt tiles stand up to the elements while looking great year-round. Finishes, Patterns, and Formats

Finishes, Patterns, and Formats

Matte tiles are forgiving with water spots and fingerprints, making them a practical choice for busy bathrooms and kitchens. Glossy and polished tiles reflect light beautifully, helping small spaces feel larger. For accent walls and backsplashes, mosaic tiles and penny rounds add visual texture and depth. Subway tiles, including popular sizes like 3x8 and 4x8, remain one of the most versatile formats for both traditional and modern spaces.
