In addition to its beautiful appearance, ceramic or porcelain tile is extremely durable and can out-last and out-perform nearly every other kind of floor covering product. Every tile offered in our Sears Floor Coverings Centres is hand-picked and tested to ensure it meets our high standards for quality.

Made of unique clays that are fired at extremely high temperatures, Porcelain Tile is denser and harder than Ceramic Tile providing greater resistance to staining, scratching and fading. It is also less porous resulting in excellent resistance to moisture, bacteria and odours. It is temperature tolerant - some tiles can be installed outside despite the harsh conditions that Canadian weather can bring. Available in both polished or matte finishes and available in a large variety of shapes, texture, colours and sizes.

Let our knowledgeable sales staff help you achieve the stunning ceramic tile floors that you've planned for your home.

Tips:

- The appearance of a simple 12"x12" ceramic tile can change dramatically just by rotating the tile 45º.

- Decorative borders and inserts can be added or, for a checkerboard effect, two contrasting colors can be installed.

- Several styles of ceramic and porcelain are produced in a variety of size which add even more dimension to design possibilities. Tile manufacturers often provide a selection of modular patterns with a breakdown of how much of each size is required to achieve the desired look, making even the most complex design easy to install.
