Porcelain, Marble or Natural Stone? A Houston Flooring Guide

Flooring decisions are easier when appearance, construction, installation requirements and real-world use are evaluated together. This guide is intended to help Houston homeowners and project professionals narrow the choices before visiting a showroom or finalizing a specification.

Porcelain tile

Porcelain is available in many formats and can be suited to demanding applications when the specific product is rated for the intended use.

Marble and natural stone

Natural stone offers variation that is part of the material. Maintenance, sealing and installation requirements differ by stone and application.

Coordinate scale, grout and surrounding finishes

Tile dimensions, pattern, grout color and joint width affect the visual result. Compare the surface next to cabinets, countertops and flooring before finalizing a palette.
