Tile flooring is the best choice for bathrooms and laundry room. It’s also a good choice for kitchens and foyers.
Tile floors offer great creativity of design possibilities.
Tile comes in five primary material types:
● Two types of stone:
Marble
Granite
● Solid vinyl
● Ceramic
● Porcelain
Marble and granite are sometimes subject to availability questions and greater price fluctuations.
Tile can be a do-it-yourself project. But unless you have some experience at it, you should keep it simple.
Solid vinyl tile comes in a wide variety of styles and colors. Creative design is easy and relatively inexpensive.
Durability is good and maintenance simple.

All your wood and tile choices come down to that same old value judgment between desire and affordability. |
