Tile FAQs
Tile flooring is known for its durability, timeless appearance, and low maintenance. With countless design options available, tile can complement everything from modern to traditional interiors.
Our tile department features a wide variety of porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, wood-look, marble, and decorative mosaic tile options in many different sizes, colors, and finishes.
Porcelain tile is generally denser, less porous, and more durable than ceramic tile, making it ideal for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas. Ceramic tile is often more budget-friendly and works well in many residential applications. Glass tile is commonly used for backsplashes, accent walls, and decorative features because of its reflective appearance and wide range of colors and styles.
Tile itself is highly water-resistant, making it an excellent option for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other moisture-prone areas. Proper grout selection and professional installation also help enhance overall moisture protection and long-term performance.

Regular sweeping, vacuuming, and damp mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner can help keep tile floors looking their best. Periodic grout cleaning is also recommended to help remove dirt and debris that can build up over time and cause discoloration.
Most grout should be sealed to help maintain its appearance and provide added protection against dirt, staining, and moisture. Since sealing requirements vary by grout type, it’s best to discuss the right option for your project with a flooring expert.
As long as the tile is purchased from our Naples store, grout sealing can be added to your project for an additional cost. However, grout sealing is a relatively simple process that many homeowners choose to do themselves.
