But before you start looking at perspective tile installer's credentials and references, you may want to get the big picture of what you want in a floor tile. This way, you and your tile installer will be on the same page as each other, ensuring your floor tile will be exactly as you envisioned it.

Ceramic tiles are installed like most tiles. It is attached to a substrate with thinset mortar and tile lines are grouted in. Ceramic tile is the easiest tile to make, so it's definitely the cheapest tile product available.

Marble tiles are more expensive because they are real stone. But because they are a natural product, variations occur between tiles and they tend to break easier than ceramic tiles. Marble tiles will also stain easily from spills, so they need more maintenance than conventional floor tiles.
