SELECTING
YOUR TILE

|
When buying tile, there are several questions you should ask to ensure that you get the right type of tile for your needs. Some of these questions include:
What is the tile's purpose and where will it be installed?
What is the tile's size and shape?
What is the tile's durability and resistance to wear and tear?
What is the tile's water absorption rate?
What is the tile's slip resistance?
What is the tile's color and pattern?
What is the tile's maintenance and cleaning requirements?
What is the tile's cost, including installation and maintenance?
By considering these questions when buying tile, you can ensure that you choose a tile that fits your specific needs and requirements.
Things you should also know. You can also ask our estimator for his recommendations, as there are various sources of quality tile available. First of all, where will the tile be used? On walls, the floors, or counter tops?
Inside or outside? Will the tile be exposed to wet or freezing conditions? Is it for a residential or commercial use? Certain tiles should be used in specific situations.
You may like the way a tile looks, but it may not be heavy enough for extended walk areas or it may absorb water which would not be good for a kitchen.
We can direct you to the professional sales person for the appropriate tile for your situation.
Ask about the grade of your tile selection. Seventy-five percent of all tile in this country is of standard grade, which is high quality.
In regard to color, remember dark colors make a room appear small, while lighter colors open up a room.
Cost is also an important factor. We can give you a cost per square foot which includes materials, labor, and design. Or you can use our cost estimator to get an idea of what the cost will be.
