Porcelain, Ceramic or Natural Stone? Choosing Tile for a Cape Cod Home

Material choice is about more than appearance. The room, moisture exposure, maintenance and installation details should all inform the decision.

Porcelain

Dense and versatile, porcelain is a common choice for floors, shower walls and high-use spaces. It is available in formats that convincingly reference stone, concrete and handmade surfaces.

Ceramic

Ceramic tile offers a broad range of color and texture, especially for walls and backsplashes. The specific product should always be matched to its intended application.

Natural stone

Stone brings genuine variation and depth. It may require sealing and more attentive care, which should be understood before installation.
