One of the most used products by homeowners for wall cladding is glazed tile, due to its durability and the variety of colors and textures available in tile stores.

They come in different shapes and sizes and are often machine made.

Its hardness is making installation a bit difficult and requires special tools to cut and shape. Therefore, it is better to get extensive training or hire a professional to install the porcelain tile for your home flooring project.
