Tile Floor Installation
If you are looking to upgrade the beauty and functionality of your home or commercial space with luxury tile flooring, look no further. Our tile floor contractors are here to make your dreams come to life! Tile floors are known for being extremely durable and are highly versatile in their designs. There are various types of tiles made from different materials that all have unique and different looks. A proper subfloor must be in place for the tiles to adhere to. An underlayment may be required to ensure maximum stabilization and a smooth final surface. Tiles are then cut as needed using specialty equipment and layed down, using mortar or another type of adhesive, to secure the tile to the underlayment. Once dried, grout is then used to fill the small gaps between all the tiles. Grout comes in different colors, which affects the final look of the project. The tile flooring then must be sanded as needed to ensure a smooth surface.
Types of Tile Flooring
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tiles are made from clay that is fired in a kiln and cooled. They are very popular for their durability and versatility. Ceramic tiles come in a variety of glazes that result in different colors and final looks, and can mimic the look of stone or other natural materials. They are commonly used in kitchen backsplash, bathroom and shower tiles, and around pools. Ceramic tiles come glazed or unglazed. Glazed tiles typically offer more protection, whereas glazed tiles add a more natural and rustic appearance.
Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tiles are a bit more dense and impervious in their makeup when compared to ceramic tile. Porcelain is highly resistant to water, which makes them good options for indoor and outdoor usage. Porcelain is known for coming in a variety of styles that can mimic the look of any natural material and requiring essentially no maintenance. Porcelain does not crack or fade, which makes it suitable for outdoor usage.
Stone Tile
Natural stone materials like marble, granite, and slate can create a timeless yet rustic feeling to your space. Different types of stones offer different patterns and colors, offering its own unique design and look.

How to clean your tile floors:
Ceramic and porcelain
Routinely sweeping or vacuuming can help keep your floors looking shiny and fresh. Change your water frequently while mopping to prevent the dirt from transferring back onto the floor. Don’t leave water sitting on the floor. Dry immediately using a microfiber cloth instead of air drying, to avoid lines and water spots.
Cleaning stone tiles
It is important to be careful when cleaning your stone tile floors as they can become scratched if using rough mops, bristles or scouring powders. It is recommended to avoid the use of traditional cleaners, especially acidic ones that have citrus or vinegar. Routinely sweeping and using a wet cloth or simple soapy water mix to occasionally mop with will be sufficient when cleaning your tile floors. You can use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the grout, as these tend to accumulate dust and dirt.
