Versatile and timeless, tile has long been a favorite flooring choice for homeowners and businesses. When buying tile, it's important to consider your design goals and the tile's specific use. Some tiles are made for commercial settings where heavy foot traffic and spills are inevitable, while others are perfect for your bathroom and kitchen spaces.
At Carpet One Floor & Home, we offer one of the best tile selections in the area, including floor and wall tiles, bath tiles, shower tiles, backsplashes, and beyond. Visit us at one of our three flooring store locations in Jacksonville, Orange Park, and Saint Augustine, Florida.
As the sunshine state, we experience a lot of hot and humid weather which can cause damage to other types of flooring such as buckling and warping. Tile is an excellent choice for Florida’s climate since it is heat and moisture resistant. Whether it’s a long day at the beach or a trip to one of the many national parks or nature reserves nearby, sand and dirt will inevitably find their way into your home. Thanks to its low maintenance, tile is a great choice since a simple mop or sweep is all that is necessary to keep your floors clean.
There are three main types of tile: ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Ceramic and porcelain are made from a mixture of clay and other natural materials which is then fired in a kiln. Stone tile on the other hand is made entirely from a single slab of natural rock and stone.
Wood-look tile gives you the ability to enjoy a natural hardwood look without sacrificing the qualities of tile. By using modern printing technology, a realistic wood-grain image can be printed on each tile. The print can also be made to create a custom wood-look tile that doesn’t mirror real hardwood or breaks up the typical pattern you’d see in a hardwood floor. Even the color of the grout between tiles can be customized into a natural wood hue that blends with the wood-look tile.
Tile is much easier to clean and maintain than hardwood and comes at a lower price point. Typically, homeowners complain about hardwood not being able to resist heat or moisture, particularly here in Florida. Wood-look tile can resist heat and water, so you can have gorgeous wood-look floors in places like your bathroom or kitchen.
Since it is water-repellent, heat-resistant, and beautiful, you can use tiling in many places around your home. Including:
We are here to help you design your next kitchen or bathroom in style and within budget. We take the stress away from choosing a new floor and deciding what needs to be updated and what you can keep. We are up to date on all the current kitchen and bathroom trends, and we can help you design a traditional, transition, or modern kitchen or bathroom.
Why limit yourself to installing tiles on the floor when you can also install them on the walls? Kitchen and bathroom renovations usually begin with a fresh coat of paint and new tiles for a backsplash or shower. Whether you want something simple and understated or bold patterns that stick out, wall tiles create a beautiful focal point for everyone to see.
Yes! Tile is perfect for adding a custom look to your space that ties your interior design together. Whether you want a backsplash or an accent wall, we have you covered with a beautiful array of vertical tiling options. Wall tiles are lightweight and smaller, so you can create more intricate patterns and designs. We also can help you create a custom bath surround or tiled shower.
While we’re sure you can do anything you set your mind to, we strongly advise against installing the tile yourself. We have professional in-house installers to help you complete your tile project. After we have helped you find the perfect tile, we can help answer questions about installation and schedule a FREE at-home visit to measure your home.
Before any installation, we do moisture testing, especially in bathrooms and basements where moisture is most common. Our flooring experts can help you find what tile is best for places with a lot of humidity and moisture. Tiles are normally dry laid first to make sure they are correctly sized to the room, cut if needed, and then adhered to the floor with tile cement and grouted.
