Tile

When it comes to flooring, one of the most popular choices is tile. The reason for it's popularity can be attributed to its durability, easy maintenance, and timeless look. With proper installation, tile can last a lifetime in great condition, making it an excellent choice in terms of long term value. Tile can also be an environmentally friendly and safe choice.

  

Often lasting a lifetime, it is a safe and smart option for people with allergies, since tile won't harbor dirt and is easy to keep clean. Available as floor and wall coverings, tile is extremely versatile, and there is a remarkable variety of styles and designs that can transform your space and add personality.

  

It can play as big or as small a role as you want it to play in your space- from casual to formal, quiet or dramatic, traditional or contemporary. Our tile manufacturers include Mohawk, Daltile, Imola, and many others. Come see what unique and beautiful products we have to offer!

  

Ceramic

  

Ceramic tile is a mixture of clays and minerals that has been shaped, pressed, then fired at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees (F), resulting in a hard surface. The protective glaze that is applied before firing gives the ceramic tile added color and finish.

Porcelain

  

Porcelain tile is type of ceramic made of a very fine mixture of clays and minerals similar to those found in fine dinnerware. These special clays allow porcelain tile to be fired at temperatures even higher than ceramic tile, typically exceeding 2,400 degrees (F). The higher temperature results in a very dense tile. And the denser a tile, the better it resists moisture, staining, odors, bacteria, and scratches.

* beautiful and durable, both in the home or in commercial applications

  

Natural Stone

  

Just as marble, travertine and other natural stones can be honed and polished to add a touch of refinement; they can also be tumbled and distressed to look more aged. This is the secret behind Tumbled Stone. It's a modern recreation that captures the romantic look of stone from centuries past. Tumbled Stone's weathered surface and seemingly timeworn edges lend an air of rustic elegance to any home.
