The Most Popular Tiles for 2018
This week, I thought it would be fun to talk about the most popular tiles for 2018. Recently, I ran some reports, and I must say I was surprised by a few of the top tiles. Here is a list of our Top 5. And, I know that everyone has a Top Ten, so I upped the stakes and made a Top Five.

Number 1: Levoni Eon Grey
This is a porcelain tile that comes in 12″ x 24″ pieces and has a matching bullnose. It is made in Italy, and the tile is rated a five on a scale of hardness from a 1 to 5. Therefore, this tile is as hard as tile gets. Eon is also a glazed porcelain. Additionally, Eon has a great looking modern stone likeness. And, there is a mild variation from tile to tile.
Number 2: Panaria Wood Trend Multi Walnut

This is a wood looking porcelain tile that is made in the U.S.A. Kentucky to be exact. This tile comes in 8”x 36″ pieces. Moreover, Wood Trend has several colors, but this is the one that sells the most. It is also a five rated tile. Overall, Panaria did a fantastic job of making the tile look like real wood. Although, the Panaria is much harder than real wood and can be used in a wet environment. Also, Paneria Wood has a nice variation to it, but not too much. Interestingly, the first time I saw this tile was at the Tile Expo in Las Vegas, and I thought that it looked like the floor of an old Irish pub.
Number 3: Ascot Wood Cinder
