How Much Does it Cost to Install a Tile Floor?

You can expect the labor cost to install a ceramic tile floor to range from $600 to $1,800 for 120 square feet (the size of a smallish kitchen or a large master bathroom). That works out to $0.50-$15.00 per square foot.

The cost of the tile itself is additional and will depend on quality, size, and shape.

What are some common types of tile flooring?

Ceramic tile is manufactured from red or white clay, molded and then baked (“fired”) in a kiln to  dry and harden it. Most ceramic tile intended for indoor flooring is then coated with a protective glaze.
Cost of ceramic floor tile: $0.50-$7.00 per sq ft (not including labor).

Porcelain tile is referred to as a subset of ceramic tile, but the former is made from feldspar, fired at higher temperature. As a result it has a denser, finer texture than standard ceramic, making it more desirable and also pricier.
Cost of porcelain floor tile: $3.00-$10.00 per sq ft (not including labor).

Porcelain wood tile is trending in today’s home décor. It’s simply a type of porcelain tile planks that look like hardwood, but are water-resistant.
Cost of porcelain wood tile for floors: $3.00-$12.00 per sq ft (not including labor).

Would you be responsible for providing equipment/materials for the tile flooring install?

Agree with your tile contractor ahead of time about who will purchase the tile and how much needs to be purchased. Tools and supplies such as thinset tile adhesive, trowels, and screws are normally included in the cost.

Can you install tile flooring yourself?

Installing tile is meticulous, painstaking work that requires patience - just one misplaced tile can ruin everything. That's why it's important to hire a proven tile contractor every time for any tile work. Whether using mosaic tile, porcelain tile, ceramic tile, or even natural stone, you will want to rely on only the best contractors for installation.
