While the aesthetics will play a significant part in the type of tiles you choose, there are other factors to consider when choosing tiles. To help determine the type of tiles that are right for you, here are some guidelines for granite or marble tiles and ceramic tiles.
Ceramic Tiles: Available and inexpensive, ceramic is often a top choice for those not looking to spend the amount they would on natural stone tiles. Ceramic tiles are readily available in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors and can be easily installed. This affordable tile option can be purchased anywhere from $1.50 to $30 or more per square foot.
Marble Tiles: With no two tiles exactly the same, the natural beauty of marble tiles cannot be matched by any other material. Softer than ceramic or granite, marble is best applied in areas that don't receive extremely high traffic. But as long as a high quality sealer is applied and specialty cleaner is used, marble tiles can offer long-lasting beauty and durability. Marble tiles often range from $3.00 to $40 or more per square foot.
Granite Tiles: Popular for its ultimate durability, granite tiles are one of the most durable surfaces in the industry. It can provide the uniquely elegant colors and variegation of natural stone while also offering added resistance to stains and scratches. Granite tiles usually cost anywhere from $5.00 to $50.00 or more per square foot.
