Tips for choosing tile

 
Before taking a look at our tile collections, there are a few things you should understand. There are two distinct types of tile and these are Ceramic and Porcelain.

CERAMIC TILE

Within Action Carpet and Floor Décor's selection of ceramic tile, there is unglazed (natural stone) and glazed tile from which to choose.
  • Glazed floor tiles are the most common. Before they are fired at a very hot temperature, they are painted with a special coating, which seals and protects the tile. This glazing essentially creates a hard and impermeable surface, which protects it against staining, scratching, color fading, slippage and fire. This glazing is also what makes ceramic tile in San Diego so easy to clean and maintain!
  • Our selection of unglazed floor tiles (natural stone) has not undergone this glazing process and as such, they need to be maintained regularly. There is a special sealant that can be applied to their surface to help prevent staining and water infiltration. The aesthetics of unglazed tile in San Diego are beautiful, earthy, natural and perfect for just about every space in the home, including outside spaces, kitchens and bathrooms.

PORCELAIN TILE

Porcelain tile in San Diego is a kind of ceramic manufactured from a very fine mixture of different minerals and clays. The molecular makeup of this material is quite similar to that of high-end dinnerware or fine china. These clays enable porcelain tile in San Diego to be fired at temperatures that are even greater than those used for ceramic tiles, typically near 2,400 degrees (F). Why is this significant? Well, the higher the temperature used to fire a tile, the denser the tile will become and the less moisture it will attract. The benefits of porcelain tile include the following:
  • Porcelain tile is denser and harder than most other tiles,
  • They are incredibly resistant to moisture and staining,
  • They are naturally hygienic and very easy to clean,
  • Porcelain tile is not only a beautiful and aesthetic option for any surface; it is equally as durable and can be used in both commercial and residential settings.
