The most common types of floor tiles are ceramic and porcelain. These are more viable solutions than marble and natural stones, which tend to be expensive and fragile. Floor tiles need to be durable and handle the constant foot traffic in entry areas, kitchens, and bathrooms of a house. Porcelain tiles have a relatively high density, which makes them very durable and resistant to cracks and damage. This material is also well known for its moisture resistance, which is important in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Ceramic tiles have similar properties that offer great durability. However, unglazed ceramic tiles have to be covered with sealants to prevent stains and other damage.
