Tile Trends

With a history dating back to the second century, tile has long been used to add art to structures around the world. Today we continue to use it in our homes for visual as well as functional purposes. With technology and innovation, tile has drastically changed since its inception, and its popularity is growing along with it. Check out these new trends that will liven up your home and be a smart investment.

WHY TILE?

Tile is known for its multitude of patterns, shapes and colors, but it has functional benefits that surpass other well-known materials. “Tiles are very strong and durable, they are excellent for passive heating and cooling, they feel soft and silky on bare feet, they are easily customizable and, per square foot, they are one of the least expensive handmade materials available,” says Melanie Stephens, director of design at Granada Tile.

When you choose tile, you get your money’s worth with its guaranteed longevity, ensuring you a one-time buy that will last. “Tile has been used for thousands of years to create functional and beautiful spaces, and if installed and maintained properly, tile will last beyond the life of the structure it’s in,” says Fred Merullo, president of Tile Showcase.
