CERAMIC |
|
| There are five elements to consider when purchasing your ideal ceramic tile floor: Size, shape, color, texture and pattern.
Typically, larger tiles can make a room appear smaller, and the opposite is true for smaller tiles. Darker colors will also give the appearance of a smaller space, while lighter colors can open up an entire room.
Ceramic tile comes in a wide variety of patterns and shapes. From rectangular to hexagonal with separate corner inserts, you can create any look that you desire
We carry a huge selection of decos, liners, listellos and trim. We also carry Natural Stone, Granite, Marble, Tavertine, Slate, Soap Stone, Limestone, Shellstone and much more!

The Look
Natural stone is the craze, but at about one third the cost, ceramic tile can provide a similar look. Large tiles 18 by 18s and 12 by 12s are more popular than smaller ones. In addition to smooth glazed tiles, there are ones that simulate stone. A variety of grout colors also provide different looks.
The strength
In Kitchens and baths, ceramic is more practical than stone because advances in fired-on finishes have made ceramic impenetrable. While chipping does occur, the grout makes tile more forgiving of wear and tear than stone.
The Feel
A hard surface
The clean up
Damp mopping is best. (Make sure Grout is sealed to prevent stains.)
