Tile Selecting Tips 

• Porcelain for its strength and durability. No ceramic on a floor. It’s ok for the walls.
• 12×24 tiles are used very often in our designs. If staggered joints, aka brick jointed or subway stacked, is your desired look, please be sure to consult with your salesperson that the tile you purchase is nice and flat. I’m seeing a lot of porcelain tile with an arch to them. This causes uneven tiles to where the ends are low and the middles are high, referred to as “lippage”.

Tile Baseboard – This is a great looking option to add to a design. The tile that you select for the floor can be cut to any height and an bull-nosed edge can be made. We outsource to a local company the rolled over edging that creates the traditional bullnose edging. Stone edges tend to come out more natural in color to the tile than some of the porcelain. If considering porcelain, we recommend choosing one that has the matching color of the surface, through the body of the tile. Consult with your tile design person.

For a modern look, we can cap the top edge with a metal finish offered in Satin Nickel, Oiled Bronze. Black, Chrome, etc.
