Tile Flooring in Marion, IA
If you are looking for a stylish and durable flooring solution, then you should consider tile flooring. Tile lets you free your creative side and create a totally custom look. You can not only install tile on your floors, but also walls, showers, and outside. Our sales professionals at Carpet King Carpet One Floor & Home in Marion, Iowa, are here to help you make the right selection when it comes to tile.
Tile is a naturally durable material and is made from sand and clay. The nature of tile allows it to be easily customized as well as come in a variety of styles, patterns, and colors to choose from. Since tile is not just limited to flooring, this versatile product gives you the freedom to truly customize your space using tile. We carry several different types of tiles including porcelain, ceramic, and stone options.
Ceramic Tile: Homeowners are familiar with the name ceramic tile which is why it is so common. Much of this popularity is attributed to how affordable ceramic is and the vast array of style options. Ceramic comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, and more. You are only limited by your personal creativity when it comes to design. These tiles can resist moderate traffic, moisture, and heat. Ceramic tile is ideal for indoor settings and not recommended for outdoor use. Ceramic tiles can be installed as flooring or on your walls as a backsplash.
Porcelain Tile: Not all ceramic is porcelain, but all porcelain is ceramic. Since porcelain is heated at a higher temperature, it is denser and waterproof. It can handle anything from heavy foot traffic to changing weather conditions without showing wear. Since porcelain is typically installed in areas with a lot of moisture, they feature a slip-resistant surface for your protection and peace of mind.
Stone Tile: Stone tiles are part of our high-end tile collection. Stone tiles are completely natural and are quarried in slabs and each stone tile features unique mineral patterns. Stone flooring is long-lasting and beautiful but can become expensive depending on the size of the area you plan on covering. You can also install stone tiles outside if they are properly sealed to be waterproof.
Hardwood flooring is prized for its Haute visuals and an incredible range of textures, but the truth is that the real thing isn’t always your best option. In Iowa, where the winters run frigid and summers hazy, having a floor you can rely on is always in heavy demand. Wood-look tile is a wonderful option for all these purposes, and so many more. Made from enduring ceramic and porcelain, wood-look tile is tough as nails, waterproof, and easy to care for. Some types of wood-look tile are even suitable for outdoor use. We offer up all of the trendiest wood-inspired styles: including weathered, rustic, or whitewashed looks
The look of hardwood is hard to pass up, but the fact remains that genuine hardwood can present some major hurdles. Moisture damage, frequent footsteps, and seasonal climate shifts can all wreak havoc on “real” hardwood. With wood-look tile, there’s a much better outlook, no matter how hectic your day gets. Like all ceramic and porcelain tile, wood-look tile is incredibly enduring and unlike hardwood, won’t ever need sanding or polishing. Just an occasional light sweep or mop is all that’s needed to keep up with this sturdy flooring- which also works equally well on your walls.
Traditionally tile is found in kitchens and bathrooms because of its ease of maintenance and resistance to moisture. There are several other places around your home you can install tile in as well. You can also install tile in finished basements, laundry rooms, and entryways to your home. We even offer tile that can be installed outdoors. Tile is not just limited to your floors. Tiles also come in wall and backsplash options. These tiles are smaller and lightweight and come in many different material options. Wall backsplash can be made from a combination of tile, glass, and metal to create a more dimensional look and make a long wall more appealing.
A beautiful backsplash tile can add a finishing touch to your space and provide functional protection. At Carpet King Carpet One Floor & Home, we have a huge selection of backsplash tiling as part of our larger tile selection. This includes everything from classic white subway tiles to intricate patterns, rustic stone, and much more. We’ll help you choose the right look for your room by showing you tile samples, trends, and then providing insight into the different features and benefits.
The best part of a custom tile backsplash is the opportunity to create a personalized look that’s unique and sophisticated. We can help you create a stunning custom backsplash that’s tailored to your taste and interior decor. Whether you love a minimalist blue backsplash, a trendy herringbone style, or a farm-style pattern, we have many tile styles available. We also have an in-house team of design experts who are here to make your vision a reality.
Backsplash tiling has many practical benefits in addition to its decorative advantages. Tiles are durable and water-repellent, making them great for protecting your walls from splashes, steam, stains, and dents. Backsplash tile also tends to be very affordable since it’s made from smaller materials and usually only covers a limited space. We offer backsplash tile options that are DIY-friendly, along with custom tile installation services. We can also help you with repairing and replacing an old tile backsplash. Once installed, your new backsplash tile will be very easy to clean and maintain over time.
Our membership with the Carpet One Floor & Home cooperative allows us to carry quality tile brands and even supply our own Carpet One Floor & Home exclusives. Stop by our showroom and look at all the brands we have to offer or check out our tile inventory online now.
