Is vinyl flooring waterproof?
You’ll have plenty of options when you choose tile for your flooring. Ceramic and porcelain are the most popular, offering plenty of variances just between the two of them. Porcelain brings you a very natural appearance with a clear glaze and through-body color that helps hide cracks and chips, while ceramic is brightly colored and gives you plenty of options for décor-matching. Both materials can be cut into a variety of shapes and sizes for inclusion into even the most personalized and unique floor coverings.
