Most homeowners know they want tile but aren’t sure which type fits their situation best. It’s a fair question because the two main options look similar on the surface. Ceramic custom tiles are fired at lower temperatures and tend to cost less per square foot. They’re a solid choice for walls, backsplashes, and rooms that don’t see heavy moisture.
Porcelain custom tiles are fired at higher temperatures, making them denser and more water-resistant. For Myrtle Beach homes near the coast where humidity stays high most of the year, porcelain handles that moisture load better over time. Both materials come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes so you’re never limited on design. Choosing the right material is one of the most important parts of any custom tile installation, and our specialists can walk you through it in person.
