Choosing the perfect ceramic tiles for your home can be a daunting task. With so many options available in colors, patterns, sizes, and finishes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. In our 30+ years serving the Las Vegas, Nevada, valley with flooring and flooring installation, we’ve learned a thing or two about its composition, cost, longevity, and maintenance must-knows for the Vegas heat.
We’ve taken our experiences and created this helpful guide based on our first-hand knowledge to help you narrow your search for ceramic tile flooring.
What to Know About Ceramic Tile Flooring
Durability & Versatility
There’s a reason you see ceramic tile flooring in many Las Vegas homes. It is a builder and homeowner favorite because it is incredibly durable. Its mixture of clay, minerals, and water, fired at high temperatures, creates a strong, dense material that can withstand heavy foot traffic, spills, and scratches. Additionally, ceramic tile flooring is one of the most moisture-resistant options next to vinyl plank flooring, making it an excellent option for bathrooms and kitchens.
During our free, no-obligation flooring design consultations, we ask our customers about their long-term flooring goals. For some, new flooring is a means to an aesthetic that better fits their style preferences. While durability is important to them, they’d prefer a more design-focused option. Others, like landlords, forever home homeowners, and those who know their new floors will see a lot of wear over the years, prefer a practical flooring choice that will provide longevity. In either case, we provide free samples of our wood-look ceramic tile flooring as a starting point. Just as with vinyl and laminate flooring, it has the look of wood and sometimes the grain detail at a fraction of the cost.

Easy Maintenance
Between family life, work, and long commutes, most homeowners want to purchase products that are going to simplify their lives, not add to the chaos. Ceramic tiles are very easy to maintain, making them a popular choice for busy households and businesses. They can be easily cleaned with a damp mop or cloth and do not require any special cleaning products. Depending on your household’s unique foot traffic, you want to get the tiles and grout cleaned annually or every two years. However, unlike other flooring options, ceramic tiles do not need to be polished or waxed, saving you time and money on maintenance.
Eco-Friendly
At our Las Vegas flooring showroom, we carry FloorScore Certified tile flooring, meaning it has been tested for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) with potential health effects.
In particular, ceramic tiles are an eco-friendly option for flooring because they are made from natural materials. We also have found that they help regulate temperature in your home, reducing the need for heating and cooling and ultimately reducing your carbon footprint.
