There are two types of tiles to choose from that can be modified into various types of patterns, designs and colors. Once you have chosen the type of tile, you can pick the right material like ceramic, porcelain, or granite. You also need to factor in the finish of the tile – either matte or glossy. Also, you have to check if the tile is specifically made of flooring or for walls. Lastly, you also need to consider the durability and maintenance efforts/ costs needed for keeping the tiles in top shape.
