Durable Tiles That Make a Striking Design Statement
Spaces like the mudroom, patio, kitchen, and bathroom endure a lot of traffic and are also exposed to moisture. Using durable tile that holds up well long-term is an excellent choice for these areas. If you’re looking for tile durability that also makes a striking design statement, Riad Tile offers several options. Consider these popular, aesthetically pleasing and durable tile picks.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tiles are hard and solid, making them an attractive choice for many high-traffic rooms of the house, such as kitchens, bathrooms and mudrooms.
Ceramic flooring is also a durable choice because its surface doesn’t attract things like dirt, dust, or pollen, and its surfaces are easy to clean.
Riad Tile offers many creative and interesting patterns for its ceramic tiles in addition to their solid colors. They’re also easier to install because they are thicker, meaning they don’t need to be sealed.
Cement Tile
Centuries-old cement tile floors adorn buildings throughout Europe. Their time-tested durability makes the tiles a practical choice in various applications. Craftspeople make Riad’s cement tiles with natural materials and pigments. And we offer the highest quality and lowest price cement tiles in the country.
You can install these tiles in indoor and outdoor settings, including floors, walls and showers. Our tiles come with a light sealer from the factory. However, for maximum protection and sustainability, you must apply more sealer during the installation process.
Fortunately, you won’t have to forgo a fantastic look to achieve longevity with cement tiles. They come in a wide array of colors and patterns.

Terrazzo Tile
Terrazzo tile is tough and offers stunning visual appeal. The tried-and-true flooring material is sturdy enough to handle daily home activities and weather-heavy commercial traffic. Different pieces of marble, granite and stone set against the solid base give Terrazzo its sensational speckled pattern and signature look.
Artisans make Riad’s Terrazzo tiles by pouring a cement base layer and adding small bits of stone. Once the cement dries, they sand the whole tile down until it’s smooth and then apply sealant. Terrazzo’s unique appearance makes a bold design choice throughout your home or commercial space in bathrooms, backsplashes, laundry rooms and kitchen floors.

Marble Tile
If you’re looking for the ultimate in luxurious tile longevity, add marvelous marble to your most durable tile list. Marble has existed in homes and buildings throughout ancient Rome and Greece for centuries. In modern décor, the hard-wearing material adds elegance to countertops, floors and walls in kitchens, bathrooms and entryways. With proper installation, care and sealing, marble lasts for years.
Marble’s lustrous surface and gorgeous colorful veins give each slab a unique character. Riad offers several exquisite kinds of marble, including Pink Norwegian Rose from Scandinavia, Black Nero Marquina from Spain, our signature White Casablanca Carrara from Italy, and rich Calacatta Gold from Tuscany.
