Ceramic Floor Tile for Timeless Style in Every Room

Beautiful, practical, and available in many styles and formats, ceramic floor tile is perfect for creating spaces that are stylish, inviting, and uniquely yours. Our collection is an easy match for diverse themes, including traditional, transitional, and modern. Whether you’re looking to revamp a dated kitchen or create a seamless flow from the living room right through to the patio and garden beyond, you’re sure to find the ideal glazed ceramic tile for your project.

Designing With Ceramic Floor Tile Color, Size & Shape

For high-traffic spaces like entryways and hallways to outdoor areas like patios and gardens, ceramic floor tiles provide a hard-wearing solution for residential and commercial projects. Here, you’ll find 12x36 large formats, great if you fancy continuous visual flow throughout the home. Small formats measure 2x8, 4x4, 5x5, 2x10, 3x8, and 4x12 inches. We also stock 12x12 ceramic mosaics with a mesh backing for easier cutting and handling during installation.

This collection of square, rectangle, star-and-cross, and picket shapes is an excellent choice for living room tile ideas. Our offerings also include ceramic floor tile for bathroom and kitchen designs that emulate the natural appeal of natural stone and Moroccan handmade Zellige.

Best Areas to Use Ceramic Floor Tile

  • Ceramic Floor Tiles for Kitchen: Our collection is suited for any culinary space, offering kitchen floor tiling to complement any décor theme you dream up. Whether you desire a pop of color to lift a neutral scheme or want to add intricate mosaic detail to larger formats, find the ideal finish at Apollo Tile.
  • Ceramic Floor Tiles for Bathroom: Thanks to resistance to moisture, mold, and staining, ceramic flooring is a hygienic and sensible choice for bathrooms. Large formats, such as White 12x36 Ceramic Matte Large Format Tile, reduce the number of grout lines, making cleaning simpler and the space feel more open. Shower floors benefit from ceramic mosaics, where an increased number of grout lines provides improved grip and secure footing.
  • Ceramic Floor Tiles for Living Room: Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, floor ceramic tile can also elevate living rooms, foyers, hallways, and dining areas. Their clean lines and consistent finishes give interiors a modern edge, while patterned designs like Cornflower Blue 5x5 Matte Ceramic Cross Deco Tile and Cornflower Blue 5x5 Matte Star Ceramic Tile are great for defining zones or creating decorative features. The same floor tiles can be used outdoors, allowing for a seamless transition between the interiors and exteriors.

Care & Maintenance for Ceramic Floor Tile

Maintaining ceramic floors is relatively easy, thanks to their durable, stain-resistant, and non-porous nature. To keep tilework pristine, sweeping or vacuuming regularly will prevent dirt and grit from scratching the surface. Mop tiles occasionally with a pH-neutral cleaner to protect the finish. Avoid harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners that can dull and damage floors over time.

While ceramic floor tiles for kitchen, living room, and bathroom do not need sealing, it’s important to wipe spills and messes as they occur to preserve their appearance. If using cement-based grout for installation, seal grout lines every 6-12 months in low-traffic areas and every 1-2 years in high-traffic and wet areas. This protective layer guards against moisture and discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is ceramic floor tile different from porcelain floor tile?

Both flooring types are made from clay, but porcelain floor tile uses denser clay and is fired at extremely high temperatures, resulting in an exceptionally robust body.

2. What interior styles does a ceramic tile kitchen floor complement?

Our ceramic floor tiles complement diverse interior styles, including traditional, rustic, modern, Mediterranean, and industrial kitchens. Explore our collection, and you’re sure to find flooring material that matches your aesthetic preference.

3. Can ceramic floor tiles for living room withstand high foot traffic?

Ceramic flooring is revered for its incredible durability. Our range includes options that hold up well in living rooms exposed to high footfall, such as Black 12x36 Matte Ceramic Large Format Tile.

4. Is ceramic floor tile suitable for outdoor applications?

We offer flooring options suitable for outdoor areas, such as patios and garden surrounds. These are resistant to changing temperatures, and proper upkeep preserves their color clarity for years. If you want material for pool areas, we recommend exploring our porcelain and glass pool tile collections.

5. Can you use the same flooring tile for the kitchen backsplash?

Our ceramic floor tiles for kitchen are suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications. The same tile used on floors can be extended to the backsplash for a coordinated look.

6. Are ceramic floor tiles for bathroom slippery when wet?

Tiles are generally slippery when wet. To improve traction in areas that require slip resistance, look for flooring with a matte finish.

7. Can ceramic tile floors crack or chip?

Floor ceramic tile can chip or crack if installed over an uneven subfloor or from the impact of a heavy object. Make sure the subfloor is even, flat, and smooth before installation, and use tile for the approved application.

8. How long do floors in ceramic tile last?

With proper installation and maintenance, ceramic flooring can last for 20 to 50 years or more. Our tiles are durable, resilient, and easy to care for.

9. Can you install ceramic floor tiles for kitchen without grout?

The shorter answer is no. Grout is necessary to hold tiles in place and prevent joints from rubbing against each other. Grouting also helps maintain the long-term structural integrity of the installation. Have a look at our groutless tile collection for options that can be installed without grout.

10. Should floor ceramic tile be sealed after installation?

Sealing ceramic floors isn’t necessary thanks to their non-porous surface, but cement-based grout should be sealed to repel moisture and stains.

11. How much does ceramic floor tile cost per square foot?

Ceramic floor tiles typically cost $4 to $15 per square foot for glazed options and $4 to $35 per square foot for unglazed options. Premium or designer options such as those that mimic natural stone and handmade Zellige can cost more.

12. How much does labor for installing ceramic floor tile cost?

Expect to spend anywhere from $4 to $32 per square foot for ceramic floor tile installation. Labor costs vary depending on the quality of the tile, size of the area, and complexity of the project.
