" An age-old classic that never grows old!"

If you are looking for a durable floor that will last for the life of your home, Tile & Stone deserves special consideration. The venerable flooring favorite was invented more than 6000 years ago, and tiles & stones dating back to 4th century B.C. survive to this day! The array of tile & stone colors available today is very decorator-friendly and encourages custom design effects. Solid colors can create beautiful one-color installations. Multiple colors can be used together to create original mosaics. Tile & Stone designs are often used in decorative borders and insets. Tile & Stone colors and patterns can be used to divide room areas into smaller spaces, create focal points, or add custom touches, much like an area rug. Tile & Stone can be as small as a square inch, or as large 10'*10'. Tile & Stone shapes include square, round, octagonal, and irregular or freeform. The design combination are as endless as your imagination. 

Design Tips 

  1. Tile & Stone are available in a wide range of colors and styles and can integrated into almost any decor. Glazed tiles makes a room look elegant and sophisticated, while unglazed tile reflects the earthiness of the clay from which it is made. 

  2. Tile & Stone allows you to express yourself by creating unique designs all your own: using boarders, medallions, or patterns that extend throughout the room. 

  3. Very small tiles, such as mosaic tiles, tend to look better in small rooms such a half baths or prep-kitchens. 

  4. The grout lines between tiles make an aesthetic statement that is almost as important as the tile itself. Grout comes in different colors, not just white. Select a color that complements the tile to create a pleasing floor pattern.

  5. By using different sizes and patters of tiles, you can create your own unique design. It isn't difficult to create a boarder that follows the perimeter of the room, or a medallion in the center.

  6. With Tile & Stone you aren't limited to design just on the floor. You can create a design that extends from the floor up the walls and into the shower stall and bath area.
