Flooring is a big decision when designing a residential or commercial space and there are essential factors beyond aesthetics to consider. Natural stone tile and manufactured tile\u2014like porcelain and ceramic\u2014both offer fantastic features. In all rooms, these tile options provide visual, performance, and care benefits that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

In a bathroom, there are added elements to consider for your flooring selection. A small space would work best with one type of tile vs. another. A bathroom<\/a> will get wet, which requires forethought. Colors are also essential. At Arizona Tile, we have many styles, types, and unique series of natural stone tile that will dazzle in a bathroom, regardless of the design!<\/p>\n

Natural Stone Vs. Manufactured Tile<\/h2>\n

Natural stone tile, such as marble, has been used for centuries and started as a great expression of wealth and dignity. While it is used far and wide today, its luxurious appeal remains the same. Natural stone provides an aura of beauty and quality regardless of whether it\u2019s used on a countertop, wall, or floor. Given its incredible strength and durability, natural stone can radiate for decades, if not centuries.<\/p>\n

What is paramount to know about natural stone is that it\u2019s porous, meaning it will absorb liquid that\u2019s on it; therefore, any spills or water drops need to be wiped away immediately. To help prevent such worry, have your natural stone<\/a> sealed on a routine basis. As long as you do that, basic sweeping and mopping with a pH-balanced cleaner is all you\u2019ll need to do. Natural stone is an investment that will upgrade your home and maintain its integrity. The upfront costs of natural stone may be a little more expensive than manufactured tile, but given its lifespan, you will likely save money in the long run.<\/p>\n

Manufactured tile has also been around for thousands of years in some cultures, like the amazing Spanish tile that originated in Spain and later made its way to Mexico and other countries. Porcelain and ceramic<\/a> tile have some great advantages over other tile types:<\/p>\n
