Why it works in Arizona homes
How it performs
Porcelain is fired denser and harder for wet, high-traffic areas; ceramic is a great value for walls and lighter use. Both are waterproof and built to last decades.

Why homeowners choose it
The advantages of tile
Cool in summer
Tile stays refreshingly cool underfoot during Arizona’s hottest months, a comfort advantage no other hard surface matches.
Waterproof and stain resistant
Glazed porcelain and ceramic shrug off spills, moisture and stains, making tile ideal for kitchens and baths.
Extremely durable
Properly installed tile can last for decades, resisting scratches, dents and heavy traffic with ease.
Low maintenance
Routine sweeping and mopping keeps tile looking new, with no sealing required for glazed porcelain and ceramic.
Design flexibility
Endless sizes, colors, finishes and patterns, plus wood and stone looks, let you create any aesthetic you can imagine.
Healthier surface
Hard, non-porous tile does not harbor allergens, dust or odors, supporting cleaner indoor air.

Care & maintenance
Keeping your tile beautiful
Sweep and mop
Regular sweeping plus a damp mop keeps tile spotless. A neutral cleaner preserves the finish and grout.
Maintain the grout
Sealing grout lines periodically keeps them looking clean and resistant to staining, especially in busy areas.
Wipe spills anytime
Because tile is waterproof and stain resistant, spills clean up easily with no lasting marks.
Use mats at entries
Entry mats reduce tracked-in grit that can dull the surface and settle into grout lines over time.
Try it yourself
Design your tile layout
Play with pattern, tile color and grout color to see how different combinations completely change the look.
Layout pattern

Grout color
Grout color dramatically changes the look. A matching grout reads seamless and calm, while a contrasting grout shows off the pattern and geometry.

PEI ratings, slip resistance and grout
PEI ratings
Tile hardness is graded on the PEI scale, and PEI 3 and above suits residential floors. We always confirm the rating fits the room so it resists wear for years.
Slip resistance
For wet areas like baths and entries, textured or matte finishes give more slip resistance than gloss. We help you choose finishes that look great and keep footing secure.
Grout
Grout shapes both the look and the upkeep of your floor. Modern stain-resistant grouts cut maintenance, and we recommend the right color and joint size for each install.
Pricing & value
What does tile cost?
Tile pricing depends on the material, size, finish and installation complexity. Large-format and specialty patterns take more labor, while standard porcelain and ceramic are great value.
Because quality tile lasts decades with little upkeep, it is a cost-effective long-term investment. Your free in-home estimate includes measurement, layout planning and an installed price.
