By now you know that a lot of details go into planning,
selecting, purchasing, and installing new tile floors. At the end of the
day, you want to feel good about the decisions you made for your tile flooring project. Here are the
different factors that can affect the overall sales price of tile flooring.
Tile flooring prices are a direct reflection of the manufacturing cost involved. Porcelain tile undergoes the most
processes and is therefore the most expensive.
Glaze
Glazed ceramic tiles will be pricier than unglazed tiles. Tile can undergo a number of glaze applications; each
additional glaze will increase the price.
Firing
Tiles are fired in kilns at varying temperatures and durations of times. A single-fired
tile will be less expensive than double fired.
Detail
A tile with more detail, coloring, or texture requires more manufacturing processing which results in a higher price.
