Bring a spark to dated decor by introducing a new tile treatment. Use translucent glass or glazed porcelain to add a shimmer and sheen. Apply textured trim and accent tiles in small doses to create a unique look. The Home Depot has the selection and style to complement any design or budget, including ceramic, porcelain, glass and natural stone tiles.

For your convenience, have your tiles installed by Home Depot Installation Services.

Ceramic tile is available in a multitude of shapes, colours and sizes, and is a popular choice for both traditional and modern decor. Ceramic tile can be used to create countless designs, from traditional checkerboard patterns, to intricate and ornate motifs with strong visual impact.

Porcelain tile is versatile and colourful, and from a design standpoint, can be used for almost any application. Porcelain tiles are made with textures that mimic stone tiles, marble, terra-cotta, polished marble, and a number of other materials. Porcelain tiles can withstand high and low temperatures, making it a good choice for exterior design applications.

Glass tiles are a good candidate for use as an accent on walls, such as a kitchen backsplash or vanity border, and provide the perfect embellishment at a reasonable cost. Glass tiles add style and excitement without straining your budget, and are colourful and reflective, providing a sparkle to any composition. Use glass tiles to enhance your design into a work of art.

Natural Stone is classic in appearance and brings a touch of old-world charm to any tiled room. Stone tiles can be formal or informal, elegant or rustic, and used in both inside and outside settings. Natural variations in colour and texture among stone tiles also make each design unique. Mixing stone tile shapes and sizes can also add another dimension to any style or layout.

DESIGN TIPS

• Mosaic sheets can be used whole or cut apart to create small-scale design details.
• Remember that glass tiles are transparent - clear adhesive preserves their true colour.
• The same choice of tiles can look completely different with coloured grout lines.
