Carrara or Carrara Look?

I know we have done several posts about the advantages and disadvantages of stone tiles in the past....but let's take another look at a current favorite: carrara.

We have excellent carrara looking porcelain tiles, that give you the feel of natural stone without the maintenance of sealing. To protect the beauty of natural stone we recommend sealing the stone's surface every 1-5 years dependent on where it is installed. Porcelain tiles are already protected by the glaze that is fired at high temperatures making it very durable and nonporous.

The biggest downfall of using a porcelain version is the limitations in sizes and patterns. Take a look below at some of the mosaic options available in the natural stone...

Incredible! They are also available in just about any field tile size from 3x6 subway tile to large format 18x18 tiles for your floor. Natural stone is a versatile material that can be used on any floor or wall surface. As long as it is properly cared for it will be beautiful for years to come. Both the natural stone and porcelain options are great, you just have to decide which one is the best fit for you.
