Heat Resistance

Traditional clay and cement roof tiles are extremely resistant to the hot Arizona sun, holding up significantly better than materials like asphalt shingles. Their ability to withstand intense heat is why most homes in the southwestern U.S. have tile roofs instead of the typical shingles.

This is common for Basalt flooring in high use areas or areas with high oil exposure. Basalt dries out pretty well when exposed to water so showers should not be a problem, right? Wrong. Soaps, oils and other liquids often used in showers can stain and leave permanent discoloration.

The main types of stone we carry for tile include Travertine, Granite, Marble, Onyx, Quartzite, Sandstone, and Limestone.

The labor and installation costs for tile floor installation can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the type of tile, the condition of the subfloor, the region or country where you are located, and the contractor's experience and overhead.

The Average Lifespan of a Tile Roof in Arizona

Whether you have a clay tile or concrete tile roof, you can expect the tiles to last an average of forty to fifty years.

Stone and porcelain tiles are the best for the shower floor. Avoid glazed ceramic tiles in this spot, as they tend to be slippery. Also, remember that non-vitreous tiles are not suitable for the shower floor. Only impervious or vitreous tiles should be used in the shower area, as they are relatively more waterproof.

Basalt is a very hard stone that is resistant to damage and heat. However, this same quality can also be seen as a disadvantage. Because basalt is so hard, it can be difficult to cut and shape.

Popular choices for a natural stone shower application include marble, travertine, slate, and quartzite, each offering a distinct visual allure.

Completely round rocks, known as concretions, are simply a natural phenomenon.

Can you put tile directly on sheet rock? ›

Do I have the option of tiling over drywall? In the majority of rooms of your house, you can apply tile to drywall without any issues so long as you first begin by preparing the drywall and making sure you use the correct mortar for the project. It's safe and reliable and is what most contractors use.

Thin-set mortar is a common bonding agent used to attach tiles to the backer board or concrete subfloor. It is made of cement and fine sand and will need to be mixed with water if bought dry.
