Ceramic

Ceramic tiles provide a good resistance to high temperatures and acidic solutions, as well as humidity and mildew protection. Ceramic tiles are also decorative, easy to clean, and low in maintenance. A ceramic tile can enhance any part of your home, including kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms. Ceramic tiles come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. We carry a large selection of floor, wall and backsplash tiles ranging from a variety of styles to suit your taste
Porcelain
Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile made from a finer clay and fired at a higher temperature, making it a more durable material than ceramic. Porcelain tiles can be used on the wall or the floor, and because porcelain has such a high density it is a good choice for high traffic areas. When purchasing porcelain tiles you have a choice between a variety of finishes including matte, polished, textured, satin, or patterned.
Glass
Glass tiles can be a clear transparent; a shimmer translucent, or a shiny opaque. There is a wide range of glass finishes; glossy, satin, luminous, and matte. You can also choose a metallic finish which is created by dusting metal particles onto the surface of the glass during manufacturing. Due to the luminous nature of glass, the look of your glass tile will change throughout the day. We will lend you a sample of the glass tile that you are considering so that you can see how the light reflective qualities affect the atmosphere in your home.
Glass installation varies from ceramic tile. If you plan on installing the glass yourself, please ask us for an installation specification sheet.
Handcrafted
Handcrafted tile refers to tile that is made without the use of modern mass production machinery. Each handcrafted tile is carefully created, and therefore each tile is unique, adding beauty and value. Often handcrafted tiles are created by using antique beehive kilns, historic glaze recipes, and traditional techniques. For example, craftsmen may hand press clay into wooden molds. Hand molded tiles have irregular edges, corners and surfaces.
Hand painted tiles offer variations in color, shading, and design, these characteristics are what create their appeal. You can also purchase ceramic tiles that have pressed designs, such as pressed leaves or flowers.
Handcrafted tiles allow for the flexibility to customize your design. Local artisans can craft almost anything that you desire, creating memories for your family and your home.
