When choosing which type of tile to install, consider the composition of the tile, as well as its strength. This is essential depending on which room in the house it will be installed in. For frequently used areas, tiles made from clay are hard enough to withstand the daily wear and tear that they will be subjected to. Softer and less durable tiles, like ceramic, can be installed in low traffic areas of the house, such as bathrooms. Softer tiles also cost much less than harder tiles.
