Size Counts. Advances in technology have now allowed porcelain tile to be produced in sizes as large as 24 by 36 or even larger. When using these larger tile formats, there are fewer grout lines, making the area appear larger, and requires less upkeep (grout joints are the most difficult part of the floor to keep clean).
Faux Floors. Manufacturers of porcelain stoneware are now able to print amazing images of stone and wood on the face of the tile bodies which is then pressed to have a textured finish. Now you can specify “wood” for the floors of your projects, even in locations with very hot and humid weather.
Mosaic Madness. There are a multitude of options when it comes to mosaic designs. Tiny, smooth river stones, glass tiles in rectangles, trapezoids, penny rounds and colors so vibrant you could call them “eye candy”. Metal mosaics engineered at a fraction of the weight of solid metal. Travertines, granites and limestones combined with materials such as glass or metal, all mesh-mounted and ready to enhance your walls.
Contracting. Don’t spoil a beautiful design project by skimping on installation expenses. Check a contractor’s reputation and track record, not just on the aesthetics of their work, but on timeliness, quality and safety.
