Carpet One Floor & Home in Columbia, Missouri, is your local retailer for all things flooring, including tile. We can help you let out your creative side with new tile in your home. Tile can be installed on not just your floors, but also on your walls and the outside of your home. Our flooring professionals are here to help you choose the perfect tile options for your next home project. Since tiles are made with natural materials like sand and clay, they are considered a “green” flooring option for your home. Not only that, but tiles are also incredibly durable and allergy-friendly.

Types of Tile

We have three main tile options to choose from including ceramic, porcelain, and stone as well as innovative wood-look tile. Learn more about each type:

• Ceramic tile is made of clays that are fired extra hot. This glazed tile is easy to clean, durable, and can mimic natural wood and stone. Consider a textured ceramic tile if you have pets or kids. There are endless patterns and finishes to consider.

• Porcelain tile is a denser variety of ceramic. Because of its enduring strength, porcelain is famous in commercial settings and bathrooms. It resists significant moisture and comes in endless styles. Choose porcelain tile that mimics hardwood or washed cement; trendy patterns are available.

• Stone tile is made from organic minerals like granite and marble. It’s perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and outdoor paces. No two stones are alike, so choosing stone tile means your new installation will be distinctively yours. Stone tile adds value to your home and will last for generations.

• Wood-look tile is made from porcelain or ceramic tile that looks like hardwood. It comes in planks and is textured to look like natural wood. It is stronger and more durable than genuine hardwood. It is resistant to scratching, dents, and stains. It can be installed in any room in your home and in moisture-prone areas.

Kitchen & Bathroom Tile

The floors and walls in your kitchen and bathroom have some specific daily requirements. Prone to daily moisture, spills, and splashes, these spaces can make it tough to balance fashion with function, but having tile makes it look super easy. Offered up in thousands of beautiful mediums, tile can be made from ceramic, stone, porcelain, glass, metal, and more. Most resist moisture with ease, and some are even 100% waterproof. For this reason and so many more, tile showers are especially popular. Tile can readily be customized to create patterns and designs that are as unique as you are. It can be incorporated into a snappy accent wall, a bold backsplash, or flooring. It’s easy to keep clean and, once installed, can last for generations.

Backsplash Tile

Stylish, affordable, and functional, backsplash tiling is a must-have in many homes. It can transform your interior decor and protect your vertical wall space from everyday wear and tear. Backsplash tiling is most popular in kitchen and bathroom spaces. However, it can also be used in other areas such as mudrooms and home bars. Backsplash tile will help keep your walls from suffering any damage in the kitchen, but these tiles are so much more than just a practical solution to kitchen spills and splashes. Backsplash tiles can make the difference between a tasteful appearance and a bare-looking kitchen. You can get creative with backsplash tiles, which are usually made of small mosaics that can be mixed and matched in a wide array of designs.

Where Can Tile Be Installed?

Tile is well-equipped to manage moisture and humidity: most are 100% waterproof. All tile is easy to take care of. Tile can be installed anywhere in your home, depending on your tile type. Ceramic and porcelain are especially popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms because of their resistance to moisture and heat. Tile is also great for bedrooms, basements, dining rooms, mudrooms, and hallways. Porcelain and stone tile can be installed outside as a patio or walkway.

Tile installations boast amazing benefits. As one of the industry’s most steadily growing flooring families, there’s a large array of patterns, shapes, materials, colors, and designs to choose from. With tile, it’s always easy to customize a specific look in accordance with your unique tastes. Any tile sold for your floor can also be installed on your walls, thus expanding your customization potential.
