Entry Areas & Outdoor Access (Walkways, Halls)

Entry ways and mud rooms are ideal locations for tile because of the high traffic and dirt typical of these areas. In these areas one has to consider the application versus aesthetics and maintenance and durability also factor in. In an entrance foyer, one may wish to make a statement and here natural stone and porcelain tile in both a natural or polished finish are often used. In a mud room, durability and ease of maintenance are more likely to factor into the decision and both ceramic and porcelain tile are ideal candidates here.
