Tile

We have an Avalanche of tile, and with all the choices you have to choose from, it can be confusing as to what is best for your space. If you are on a budget you may wonder, is it ok to choose a cheap tile? Does price have anything to do with quality? Our on-staff designers can help you make sense of it all and use their expertise to create the look you want without blowing your budget.

Here’s just a few facts about tile:

Ceramic and porcelain tile:

Both are clay based and fired for hardness. Porcelain tiles are fired at a higher temperature than ceramic making porcelain a stronger denser tile. The glazes applied to these tiles make them stain and scratch resistant and is easy to clean. They can be installed on the floor or the wall and is always a good idea to keep a little extra tile in the same dye lot in case a repair is needed later.

Is tile warm or cold?

Well that depends! Tiles are cool in the summer but can also be made warm in the winter if you have them installed over a floor heating system controlled by a thermostat.

Natural stone tiles:

Beautiful and natural, stone has been used to create cathedrals, pyramids, museums and streets. Created by mother nature, each piece is uniquely different and creates an existence all its own. They are cut as small as mosaics to very large profile tiles. Natural stone is easy to clean after it’s been sealed with an approved stone sealer. Experience the tranquil beauty of natural stone when installed by a true craftsman.
