As National Tile Day approaches on February 23, Daltile is emphasizing the numerous advantages that make tile an outstanding choice for homes and businesses alike.

"Tile enables the creation of unique, personalized, beautiful spaces," said Laura Grilli, director of product design at Dal-Tile LLC. She notes that advanced technology allows Daltile to create virtually any design imaginable, keeping their products at "the forefront of interior fashion with no lag time."

Beyond aesthetics, Daltile emphasizes tile's practical benefits. As "the original waterproof flooring," tile excels in wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Many of Daltile's popular products feature their proprietary StepWise technology, providing 50% more slip resistance than regular tile.

In today's health-conscious environment, tile's cleanliness attributes are particularly valuable. Made from natural materials—water, clay, sand, feldspar, and other minerals—tile surfaces contain no VOCs, PVCs, formaldehyde, or allergens. Select Daltile products go further with Defend powered by Microban technology, continuously eliminating up to 99% of bacteria on tile surfaces.

Sustainability remains central to Daltile's mission. "We are proud that tile has the lowest carbon footprint of any installed hard surface flooring," said Paij Thorn-Brooks, vice president of marketing at Dal-Tile LLC. The company has reduced its carbon footprint by 17% since 2018 and reuses 84% of process wastewater in manufacturing.

With exceptional durability—being stainproof, scratchproof, and fire resistant—tile offers lasting value for homeowners and commercial spaces. Daltile products are available nationwide through over 250 company-owned locations and independent retailers.

As consumers increasingly value both form and function in their living and working spaces, Daltile's commitment to innovative, sustainable, and beautiful tile solutions positions the company as an industry leader this National Tile Day and beyond.
